First, you're addressing a more "average" scenario than the one I was
talking about (no missiles for the F-15, A-10 ready for the incoming
threat).


Pretty extreme, then...


Only for a "first day," "first hour" war. But yes, it's odd, which is
why I've mentioned it as such two or three times so far.

I can easily construct highly scenarios where enemy tanks down attaking
Warthogs with accurately-thrown dinnerware, but that doesn't make
cutlery into a generally useful anti-aircraft munition...


If you're comparing forks and knives to 30mm HEI at a couple of thousand
yards, we can tell where your argument has gone.
