10. Technology

|
| Article 71-Reliance | ||
| 71.1 | Reliance | |
| Technology reliance and over reliance on individual super-high technology pieces is one of the great weaknesses of modern military forces. |
||
| It is based on the non-battle assumption of the potential firepower of a particular piece of technology versus the real world threats of that technology piece been made redundant and therefore make the military force exposed. | ||
| Large naval weapon platform over-reliance | ||
| While in peace time an aircraft carrier is able to project tremendous force and power, including provide a immediate battle platform for air support in limited war, it is an extremely high risk target in total war. | ||
| Therefore aircraft carriers are not suited for front line battle in a total war situation with an sophisticated enemy for risk of even one weapon penetrating its defence systems. | ||
| Highly sophisticated armoured vehicles | ||
| No matter how sophisticated a tank platform may be, in an urban environment, a high powered rocket propelled grenade can still destroy it. | ||
