That's why it's so important that NATO has the F-35.
I have zero doubt that Russia can knock those out of the sky. The fricking serbs were shooting down F-117's 20 years ago.

We need to get away from aircraft as quickly as possible. Precision guided long range surface to surface missiles and artillery are the future.

Would you rather 40 T-72s with countermeasures or 40 kornets? Which benefits you more in the long run?
40 T-72s. You gotta figure you'll be lucky to take out 15-20 enemy armored vehicles per 40 ATGMs you shoot.

Yeah an F-117 flying a predicted path with its bomb doors open. Talk about stealthy. Stealth is better than no stealth.

I have no argument here. The only inhibitor I see is reaction/delivery time.

I mean the systems and their stocks of missiles. Just as the T-72 is stocked with rounds.

Without control of the air, you can't control the ground.
