As the 'Art of War' develops we see that previously very effective 'weapons' and tactics are often bypassed by new and more effective equipment or strategies.

Lines of troops in tightly packed formations would have been cut to pieces during WW1
Cavalry is another example and pretty much lost it's impact during WW1.
Trench warfare wouldn't have worked too well in WWW2

As the fighting in Ukraine has shown us. there are things you wouldn't want to be 'sitting in' during the next major conflict-

A: Tanks
B: Most surface warships

Tanks need infantry support to prevent use of those portable anti tank weapons.
The Russian infantry has been very shy in battle and left the armoured vehicles exposed to the attacks on narrow roads with no room to manouvre.
What I find interesting is the use of drones both for observation and attack, warfare has become more hi tech and remote controlled.
Agree on Warships, slow and open to missile attacks.
The conservative nature of the Russian military has confused me, they have advanced stealth fighters/bombers but refused to risk them vs  Ukraine with it's old MIGs.
