Fighter jets, gone ?
They will be when there are AI controlled aircraft/drones that can exceed the G-force limits that humans require and can thus out maneuver any human controlled fighter.
That theoretical highly maneuverable drone with a highly advanced sensor suite isn't going to be cheap either. At which point, what's the advantage? You wouldn't be bound by the number of pilots, but if the drones are too expensive it doesn't matter.

Modern fourth generation fighters would be more than sufficient up close. Except that fifth generation fighters hunt in packs and none of them need to be pointed at their target to hit them.
I think most manned war vehicles are dead now. We are definitely entering into the era of drone-vs-human warfare. Drones are cheap and deadly and can be remotely operated, and soon probably operated by AI.

As seen in the case of Russia’s super drone being downed by their own this week after presumably loosing control, only relying on unmanned vehicles en mass leads to a single point of failure.
Disrupt or corrupt signals, disrupt the entire force.
The US is the force it is because it can do combined arms like nobody else.
Unique capabilities don’t matter if your opponent saturates them with low tech or combined arms.
Look at last weeks Iran ICBM barrage vs. iron dome and David’s sling.
Sure, unmanned vehicles bring unique capabilities to any field of battle, but combined arms is as much the future as it was the past.

Betteridge's law of headlines.

IMO, submarines - especially nuclear subs probably have decades of life left at a minimum.
But yeah - everything else is starting to look very vulnerable.

Perun seems to know his stuff. That said, I’d be curious to know more about his research process, as well as that of other Russia-Ukraine war mappers/vloggers. Determining whether grainy drone footage is current or past alone seems difficult to me as an outsider and fan of their work, though I wish it weren’t necessary and that the war were over.

Shouldn't it be more drone-vs-drone?
For the sake of humanity, I wish that was the case, but it won't be. Defensive drones will exist for sure, but generally the targets will be human or infrastructure, not other drones.
