didn't russia just invade ukraine with tanks and troops and shit?

No. Just off the top of my head the Iran-Iraq war was a conventional one between two relatively equal states.

Iran-Iraq war happened before the end of the Cold war you illiterate retard.

Conventional warfare is still being used to fight conflicts that do not require large scale armies against a state, but against dug in partisans and celled resistant groups which require more time and energy to gather into one place and exterminate + hope they don't come the fuck back.
Sorry I should have rephrased this a little better. I am aware that conventional war is not "obsolete" per say but I generally get the gist from people that because the change in technology and with our economy becoming very much so part of a globalized world, I don't know if a large scale conventional war would be feasible in this day in age.
You're not just going to build a factor and produce thousands of tanks and planes with a year or two. If we lose a shit ton of men in a war today and we run out of ammunition, how are we going to respond to this?

Not to samefag this but how would the U.S. have gone about with that issue? Even today over 25 years later, how would we solve this problem of military manufacturing/production?
