laser weapons, kinetic weapons, lighter armored divisions, robotized light artillery and deep-operations equipment.

>"A kinetic bombardment or a kinetic orbital strike is the hypothetical act of attacking a planetary surface with an inert projectile, where the destructive force comes from the kinetic energy of the projectile impacting at very high velocities."

The strongest military will be 100% unmanned air, land, and sea weapons controlled in real time by an AI (trained like AlphaGo Zero, i.e., by having it simulate battles against itself for years. It will be a better general than any human).
The AI will always make optimal decisions, without being affected by ego, wrath, or fear, and it will control endless waves of easily replaceable, relentless automatons.
Strategic measures will be the only way to overcome it:
>cyberattacks may be effective, but probably not terribly so
>losing the war quickly, then practicing sustained guerilla / terrorism against human occupying forces.
>using, or threatening to use superweapons (e.g. nukes or better) against the country that controls the AI army

Kinetic bombardment is stupid when you consider the cost of putting something heavy in orbit. It's cheaper to build 10 surface to surface missiles.

those don't destroy bunkers
William Foster
if you want to destroy the bunker that badly why not use nuclear missiles
David Taylor
too much fallout and friendly-fire
Eli Johnson
at least the enemy bunker would be dead. If you use rods from god you're probably going to miss.
