However, the main goals of wars remain unattainable. Therefore, classic military aggression loses its meaning.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/ground-operation-in-iran-is-doomed-to-failure-will-it-stop-trump\/\">Ground operation in Iran is doomed to failure: will it stop Trump?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> The formal superiority of superpowers in weapons is no longer decisive. Instead, it is decided by:<br \/> a) willingness to die in infantry ground operations;<br \/> b) relatively cheap unmanned technologies and rapid corresponding production.<\/p>\n<p> The first interim conclusion is good:<br \/> \u2013 you can no longer be afraid of anyone. The main thing is to have spirit and a lot of relatively cheap unmanned technologies. I repeat \u2013 classic military aggression seems to be losing its meaning.<\/p>\n<p> The second interim conclusion is bad:<br \/> \u2013 the only remaining argument of the &#8220;military superpowers&#8221; remains weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear ones. Therefore, in a hopeless situation, the risk of their use increases. But these &#8220;toys&#8221; are already possessed by too many subjects in the world, so no one will rush to open this chest.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 Materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Author&#8217;s Facebook page Russia-Muscovy \u2013 the world&#8217;s largest nuclear power \u2013 has not been able to reach the borders of the Ukrainian Donetsk region for over 12 years.
