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.


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

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


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

40 T-72s. You gotta figure you'll be lucky to take out 15-20 enemy armored vehicles per 40 ATGMs you shoot.


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

Even the F-35 has to open them at some point.

It's faster man. Or will be once we work on the doctrine that puts surface fires before CAS. CAS costs a lot of money and is a logistical nightmare. Deconfliction takes time too.

I would put it in the tough call category. Tanks are still pretty useful, but yes, very vulnerable to the newer and cheaper ATGMs.

Cost is a huge factor as well
