warfare from a nato perspective

nato could buy weapon systems from defence companies 

that are semi autonomous 

so that it's easy for new personnel 

to learn how to control those weapon systems 

ground vehicles that can be driven by driver 

but also told by driver to drive to a location 

those ai technologies are already available in the civilian car industry 

large, long distance remote controlled flying drones 

that can take off, land and fly themselves 

but ordered remotely by pilots to execute mission 

are already available in the military industry 

those types of semi autonomous, easy to learn 

and easy to control weapon systems 

would enable nato to quickly train nato personnel 

and it would also enable private companies 

to quickly teach personnel from countries outside nato 

to control those weapon systems 

that would enable countries outside nato 

to quickly acquire and control those weapon systems 

nato could use stealth fighter aircraft and stealth bomber aircraft 

to take control of an area 

then nato could use non stealth aircraft to dominate that area 

then nato could use satellites and surveillance drone aircraft 

to see almost everything in an area 

and then nato could use non stealth aircraft such as: 

use ac130 gunships armed with artillery cannons and lots of ammunition 

reaper drones armed with hellfire missiles 

b52 bombers armed with massive amounts of conventional bombs 

and possibly ah64 apache attack helicopters armed with hellfire missiles

to destroy all ground targets in an area 

and thereby dominating that area 

when nato aircraft dominates an area 

then ground vehicles such as: 

tanks 

various combat vehicles 

self loading, quick to deploy, quick to leave artillery vehicles 

quick to deploy, quick to leave missile vehicles 

could move in and destroy what's left of the enemy 

these strategies and weapon systems 

would create a wall of destruction that no enemies could penetrate 

and these strategies and weapon systems 

could be used by countries outside of nato 

to protect themselves and friendly countries 

the usa and nato model of attacking an enemy country 

to destroy the enemy and then leaving the enemy country 

instead of conquering it 

has proven to be a succesfull strategy in the last few decades 

and the nato model of voluntary military membership 

has proven to be more efficient than conquering countries 

and in the same way 

the eu model of voluntary political and economic membership 

has proven to be more efficient than conquering countries 

in the first and second gulf war american weapons systems 

proved to be highly effective against russian weapon systems 

the first gulf war showed 

that if usa wanted to win a war quickly then it could do so 

and the second gulf war showed that if there was less political support 

then usa would take a long time to destroy the enemy 

and then withdraw from that war 

similarly world war 2 showed 

that if usa wanted to win a war quickly then it could do so 

and the vietnam war showed that if there was less political support 

then usa would take a long time to destroy the enemy 

and then withdraw from that war 

there are obvious reasons to win a war quickly 

but there are various reasons to win a war slowly 

winning a war slowly could force outcome in a region
