Are militaries going too digital? This cant be good. Are they fucking retarded?

You can't compete against the Digital megacomplex that is hoarding all the manufacturing engineering, software engineering, advanced sensors, actuators and displays.

Could digital devices survive a nuclear explosion intended as an EMP attack?

Digital offers a fuckload of huge advantages and there has never been an EMP used in anger.
Lots of people think "this wouldn't work in a total nuclear exchange" and don't realize at that point everyone has lost. These will work for wars that are winnable.

When they're inside a big fuckoff metal faraday cage? Absolutely, even modern cars are safe from HANE EMP.

Yes, there is too much digital camouflage. Solid patterns need to return.

so your airgapped systems are safe. aren't there a lot of technologies connected to transmitters/receivers? will those radios be fucked up? if those radios are connected by some circuit to other tech, will the bindings get fucked up?

Very fucking high tech. Wow.
Fucking retards. The only reason they are there is to fatten the wallets of the MIC due to increased repair. They are fucking up our readiness with these stupid fucking zoomer screens and ipads.

The digital part with all its transistors aren't exposed to the 'outside', it's always the analog front end and ADC that will fail, but those aren't more vulnerable than normal analog circuits, maybe less vulnerable because it's easier to add safety features to a analog-digital system than a analog only. Besides the fact you can evaluate the integrity of digital systems whereas analog can be a blackbox non-evident failures.

And military electronic has standards related to EMP proofing.

No.

If viable EMP weapons existed (nukes are not), civilian radios and devices connected to the power grid would be the ones at risk.
Not hardened weapon systems with isolated antenna circutis running on their own protected power sources. There would be some cases of military equipment losses due to complacency or just bad doctrine, but it would be nothing compared to the devastating civilian infrastructure destruction.

You clearly know less than you think you do, otherwise missiles wouldn't use integrated circuitry for guidance. Readiness isn't greatly affected by improved crew control systems, in fact, it generally improves it due to simplified training and improved convenience/ reaction time.

Without electronics (even simpler ones, much less screens and complex sensor systems) a vehicle is much, much less capable, aware, and typically has a higher 'skill' ceiling to master and use effectively.

>runs out of battery
Good thing the vehicles are all powered by internal combustion and not a single fucking one, anywhere, ever, has used batteries as a main power source. Also what happens when a car built in the 90s runs out of battery? You can't start it, dipshit. Guess we should go back to Model T fucking hand-cranked engines to eliminate this critical vulnerability.

How underage are you even.
Many 4WD SUVs had handcrank holes until 80s.
Ladas until the turn of the millennium.

yeah with AI, drones & EMP in existence all militaries should go full digital.
They should invent a large scale EMP to take the whole world back to the dark ages so we can finally settle a lot of the worlds problems properly.

What? Are you stupid? let me guess, you have to turn on the APU every time and generate loud as fuck noise and blackest of nigger smoke to alert the enemy of your position whenever your vehicle stops?

>underage
I'm 33. If you have a memory of the 80s, you are probably a 50-year old transitional boomer right now. Your perspective of what constitutes "underage" is insanely out of touch with reality, an underage in 2025 = doesn't remember what the world was like pre-smartphone. Also I have only seen a hand crank hole on a vintage land rover, I'm sure it was an extremely rare feature even in the 80s.

I'm 40 and have owned a decent number of 80s SUVs and have never seen a handcrank hole. Of course I live in a first world country where electric start has been standard since the 20s. If you've ever seen a Lada in person, that would certainly explain why you think electric start is some kind of newfangled invention. Just wait until you find out about refrigeration.

NTA but some militaries required hand crank as a backup and some markets are dominated by military surplus.
