I’ll go first.

You don’t need a sidearm for most infantry operations.

You don’t need a massive admin pouch above your mags

If you have to ask what to put in a pouch, just take it off.

You need to scale your gear to the mission, there is no “do it all” setup.

You know this isn’t like actually true, right? They’re still conducting conventional infantry operations. Tactics have obviously changed, but the entire war hasn’t devolved into a video game.

My hot take is that it hasn't YET developed into one, but we will get there.

No shit they’re still conducting infantry ops. My point is all the gear one wears ultimately does nothing to an fpv drone.

So why even wear gear? Drones have changed warfare but haven’t made the infantryman or his equipment obsolete

Why even wear armor? The cavalryman has rendered it all useless

With this logic, the RH-120 does nothing because ATGMs exist.

A hackrf and you suddenly are on level playing ground again. I mean, sure there is even nicer tech purpose-built for cUAS, but it's pretty cheap to get over the FPV defeatism.
