What would a modern land, sea, or air battle look like?

Air: Remote-controlled pilotless drones. They'd primarily assault enemy ground settlements, and wouldn't really be equipped for drone/drone combat.

Sea: Entirely missile/missile, like playing Battleship. No reason to come any closer when you can wreck the enemy from afar. Possibly underwater submarine drones for closer combat.

Ground: Cyber attacks, long-range infrastructure damage wouldn't require armies. Any armies would be used for threatening, and if needed would probably win by marching in after the enemy has been sufficiently bombed to hell.

Cyberspace: Now that's a real question. Study that.

And future wars in general are more likely to be asymetric same as we see in Afghanistan and Iraq. You may find some of these cracked articles interesting and / or entertaining.

So it would just be small squads of men moving around in some forest, city or plain and blasting away at eachother? No big armies attacking eachother, huh, no wonder we don't get mentions of battles in actual warfare.
