Interesting point as they certainly apply in Europe but not necessarily everywhere (eg Mali) - its the density of communications that seems to be the major factor.
On post war changes I can see a case for more infantry rather than armour TBH - as for the air war the Russians don't seem to be fully engaged compared to say Syria
How is the infantry going to get around without armour? In particular, how are they going to be protected during the advance?
