Future war. One thing I’ve not seen in discussions on future war is coverage of logistics and supply chains. That seems like an oversight, given what we’ve seen demonstrated recently.

Drones, from killer UAVs to hobbyist toys have created a very different operational environment. Similarly, the OSINT community has made operations far less secret. The proliferation of smartphones and internet changes alters the operational environment as well.

So what about 3D printers? Surely they must change the parameters of a conflict. One example, sabotage of complex machinery generally seeks to damage the most critical and difficult to replace parts. To keep the machine out of service for the longest time possible. How does that change if any part can be reprinted in the same time.

This thread is a cool list of clever reverse engineering tricks.
