Luigi Scazzieri quoted in the Australian Financial Review

"Drones have changed warfare, but legacy systems still matter," said Luigi Scazzieri in the Australian Financial Review, pointing to the importance of artillery in Ukraine, the ability of aircraft carriers and fighter jets to project power far from national territory in ways drones cannot, and the continued role of infantry and armour in holding territory.

Despite that, he noted, the proliferation of cheap drones does call into question the usefulness of very expensive platforms that may be vulnerable to drone swarms. Tanks are also facing an uncertain future, accordingly to Luigi. "No major power has divested them, but they are looking less useful in Ukraine."
