...UAVs as a core part of a modern Western land force.
the Autors must drink poison for this.
Core part of modern warfare is an reconnaissance and strike contour, which has only a part of the UAV.
Without artillery, aviation, tanks and comunication troops your core part is shit
P.S. Admin, you'd better get back from repression to the subject area.
Tanks? The Russians and Ukrainians seem to prefer "tank". Singular.
Like it or not but the proliferation of FOG-type munitions with integrated killer-ISR capabilities means armored vehicles are less survivable in numbers and more survivable in singletons. At least it might make presently anemic Western tank fleets more impactful since acquisition of relevant tank defense systems should be easier in small batches.
There is no reason to concentrate infantry when infantry firepower is not important. It appears to me that troops are forward mostly to dig and occupy defensive fortification and a highly dispersed approach is fine.
"Highly dispersed" is relative. A five to seven man assault section against a two man foxhole is a very serious attack these days.
Drones only work in fair weather and without EW. This is hard in the defense but easy in the attack. Artillery doesn't care for weather. Polaris golf cart doesn't care for splinter protection.
