newsclues··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
If your enemy is dug in in an urban area, you bomb the hell out of it before you send in infantry to clean up. If you don’t use artillery and bombs the defenders will mow down the assault units.

This is how urban war is played out between near peer armies.

Think about this, I’m in a concrete bunker with a machine gun, do you want to charge the bunker and get shot, or do you want to call in an airstrike to destroy the bunker with the machine gun position? I know what I’d do

newsclues··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
The same thing happens in Ukraine in the urban front lines. Villages get erased with artillery and bombs, as basements are the best place to survive drones and fires from artillery and bombs.

Systematic destruction of urban areas is sadly what modern urban combat operations look like.

When an enemy digs in and choose to fight and die in an urban area, this is how war plays out.

"Prompting claude 5.5 has more appeal it seems."

Only a certain type of person likes hard challenges, and many people are content chasing what is easy.

It's why everyone wants to work on software instead of hardware. Doing hard things is hard, and most people are incapable or unwilling to do the hard things. Prompt engineering is great for lazy morons.
