When looking at this war, nobody with a sane mind could have a doubt anymore that drones and missiles are the future of "mechanised" warfare. And I think if an enemy has access to weapons like these Western systems, than even Western modern tanks and platforms would be rendered outdated. Its like in past centuries, when heavy knights were rendered obsolete by archers with Bodkins arrowheads, and xbows, cavallary turning from heavy to light and then got smashed by light tanks, and so forth. An old pattern. I think the age of heavy armoured tanks is kind of coming to an end.
I would conclude something comparable on heavy warships for surface combat, and maybe even carriers.

The future seems to be agile, small platforms, lightly armoured and armed with drones and missiles.

Too many Western conceptions are unproven now, since they never were tested since WW2 against a foe on same technological level (which Iraq and Vietnam were not).
