Baku TV's "Military Chronicle" segment analyzed changes in modern military planning and new combat concepts in light of recent wars.
The Ukraine war and Middle East conflicts show that superiority no longer depends solely on high-tech weapons. Mass production, economic efficiency, logistics, and rapid adaptation have become key strategic advantages. In particular, using expensive defense systems against cheap drones highlights the importance of economic sustainability.
Modern armies are shifting from a "platform-centric" approach to a "system of systems" model. Integrating drones, sensors, communication networks, and AI into a unified management environment significantly enhances combat capabilities. Production capacity and control over critical technologies are top priorities in defense industry.
Future military power will be determined not just by possessing modern weapons, but by rapidly producing them, deploying them at scale, and coordinating all capabilities in a unified operational system.
