Beyond The Survivability Myth

Many misunderstand military obsolescence, assuming battlefield survivability dictates a system's relevance. Dmytro Sochnyev attacks that myth, arguing that obsolescence stems from the emergence and availability of superior alternatives, not mere vulnerability. Through historical and modern examples, the author reveals why even "outdated" weapons persist—proving that survivability alone is not the key determinant of military evolution, but rather technological and logistical realities.
