Guided artillery shells sound stupid to me, like yeah I get that everything has to be uber precise and high tech now but don’t you have guided missiles for that?
Like surely there is room in modern doctrine for a nice and simple artillery system that you just aim and fire?
I mean yeah that math might check out if you only believe that the purpose of things exploding in war is to kill guys every time but if I was a soldier I would hate having 10 things explode near me more than one thing very accurately exploding some guys close to me.
And there’s probably a lot of cases where you would just flat out prefer to kind of accurately explode 10 areas compared to accurately exploding less areas than that.
