GIVEN CURRENT WARS, F-35s ARE BETTER CHOICE THAN MORE F-22As
"Roger Conroy" wrote in message ... Anyone who bases their armaments aquisition programme on CURRENT wars is an idiot and is doomed to be on the losing side in the NEXT war. Major equipment is intended to be used for about 20-30 years. Take the example of the "Teens" generation of US fighter aircraft. They came off the drawing boards in the 1970's and are now at the end of their useful life as first world front-line equipment. It really is not acceptable for a 1st world fighter pilot to be flying the same plane that his father did. "Shock and Awe" only works if you have a clear margin of superiority over the enemy. Any leader who sends his forces into battle equipped at parity to the enemy should be shot for gross incompetence. anybody who ignores the war they are fighting now to worry about a hypothetical war against an yndetermined enemy at an undetermined future date will lose the current war and render worries about future wars moot. nobody has anything in the pipeline either. |
