Episode notes
Precision Missiles Outpace WWII Paradigm
- Modern warfare favors precision standoff weapons and unmanned systems over a WWII carrier-air paradigm.
- Macgregor warns Iran's missiles and drones, often from underground, make traditional fleet-air tactics less effective.
Don’t Rely On Attrition Numbers As Victory
- Avoid claiming decisive victory based on attrition metrics like aircraft destroyed.
- Macgregor compares such metrics to Vietnam and Desert Storm battle damage assessments that often overstate effects.
Global Supply Chains Are Breaking
- The war is provoking a global supply crisis in oil, food, fertilizer, and feed.
- Macgregor warns Great Britain will soon lack oil reserves and countries like India face mass fuel shortages and industrial shutdowns.
