non-stealth aircraft are not entirely obsolete. Electronic Countermeasures have become incedibly advanced in denying the enemy the opportunity to use their AA sensors.

Laser antimissile systems could also fly in direct support of non-stealth aircraft.

Advanced weapons systems and electronics will win the next European war over superior numbers.

This. The Prowler and Growler are more than capable at protecting strike aircraft.

Advanced weapons systems have to be deployed in enough numbers to overcome numbers. Look at the Germans in WWII. Compared to Soviet weapons and equipment, the Germans were far and away more advanced and sophisticated than their Soviet counterparts. How did that work out for the Germans?

But what you say is possible. However, as the Sherman's in WWII showed us, you still need at least some numbers and right now NATOs numbers a pathetically low. Low enough that they'd have no hope of overcoming Russia's numbers. And beyond that, not only do the Russians have the numbers on their side, they also are modernizing their forces as well.
