You can cover a remote fighting vehicle with armour but somewhere there is a point where the communication signal has to go in.

Track that and you have got it.
If GPS spoofing etc becomes a more prominent threat then I think it will change the game. As much as professional Western militaries like to think they could go reversionary, it’s not trained for hard enough. In my opinion we are getting to the complacent stage.

Interesting times where we are between traditional/conventional and ‘future’ cyber/EW spectrum.
