IDK, there’s articles from that part of the world claiming it’s a conspiracy by the American news media to label the Dassault ineffective against Chinese hardware. Our media is full of shite but I’m betting their media is even more full of shite.

Okay, F-22 takes on 10 enemy planes and has a 100% success rate. Cool.

The next day 10 more show up.
On and on.

You’ll constantly have to maintain air superiority, and eventually they’ll get theirs.

One of the few times I will agree with you. Riding a ford pinto into a race with Porsche sports cars is not smart. Riding into a race with a ford pinto with Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse as the pilot is even more insane.

I don’t understand why they are upset about you posting this. It’s easily verifiable


Because they are clowns. Whenever they get caught posting BS like "That is 40 year old Technology" then I prove them wrong with sources they think it some sort of Flex to say "Of Course you used Grok" If you noticed the posters who do this consistently are the same ones who constantly complain about Twitter and AI. (SFP,Memphis, Owl, LSURUSSIAN, Narax) They just hate the fact they can't post their BS anymore without getting fact checked.

Correct. F35 alone with F15 platforms carrying the munitions would decimate the mighty 4.5 gen fighters.

See they have limited AWACS type capabilities to begin with.

Even weaker beyond visual range capabilities.

This isn't a video game with infinite spawning

The infrastructure to launch attacks also cannot scale with any volume-based advantage. Just because they have 10x the planes doesn't mean they have 10x the pilots, runways, etc.

Or the command and control which dies quickly.

A guy named Colin Powell said it.
first we cut it's head off then we kill it.

Centralized command and control dies.

Those 4.5 fighters have no leadership and no orders

Regardless of what you think, mass production matters. It won us ww2.

Mass production of all weaponry and equipment. You gonna wave off the pace of their naval ship building too?

Eventually numbers start to matter.

I never said that.

The tech difference is just that immense.

It's like an NFL team from 1950 trying to play one today. The skill gap is that large.

quote:

The old tech won't "see" the new tech and the new tech has weapons that have longer distances than any weapons of the old tech.

Dogfights like the movie Top Gun don't exist with modern tech.

If we want to conquer and occupy China, this would matter.

One F35 can use 10-15 F16s as munitions platforms. Run the entire air to air engagement to include launching munitions off the wings of this F16s

That's one F35

With effective awacs command and control assistance.

Nobody can do that except the United States.

Those numbers die. Even before superior drone capabilities are even factored into the fight

You know, if Poland could only have produced more horses, they would have beaten the German tanks...eventually.

China is not an ally of the United States of America and will never be an ally of the United States of America.

If only some of these guys have effective air to air refueling they could potentially loiter long enough to be an effective fighting force

Fighter aircraft over Afghanistan Syria and Iraq often flew 6-7 hour sorties. Hundreds of aircraft .

None of our near peer threats can do that.
