The same pre war consensus also thought that war with Russia was unthinkable, it is Russia that focused on artillery tactics so the two assumptions went hand in hand.

It’s my opinion that artillery is out of date and by the end of the Ukraine war they will be even more out of date. It’s hard to make artillery more cost effective than it already is yet still many more opportunities to increase drone effectiveness.

Artillery is just one piece in the puzzle and it has its place, with drone spotting. You can't jam a shell.

But once your artillery positions can't be protected from drones then its game over for sure.
