  1. Oh no, they have mopeds now. Can't cheat physics. No amount of smugness would make this work.

  2. Not really?

  3.  @outlawfly664  They aren't. Air power is absolutely decisive in modern warfare, Ukraine shows what happens when neither side has air superiority focus.

  4.  @outlawfly664  Air superiority is defined by the ability to conduct air operations without strong enemy air power resistance. By definition you NEED air power to use air power. If you haven't noticed. It's not obsolete in any way. Air power beats air defenses. Remember in 2018 when B-1 bombers used standoff weapons in Syria? The S-300s couldn't stop them. Ukraine showed that without air power, you are forced into a painful exchange in artillery fires.

  5.  @outlawfly664  "they are not as cost effective any longer (an important issue)" - They are extremely cost effective. Air power can hit the rear areas of enemies, cripple their logistics, take out command and control, etc. Doing that with ground forces only is extremely costly because you'll lose men and materiel doing those missions. "The unit prices are overwhelmingly large" - Extremely cheap compared to the men and vehicles you lose on a ground war. "and are vulnerable to most modern air defense systems" - The other way around. Defense systems are destroyed with aerial SEAD campaigns. Which is why the US gave Ukraine HARMs. 90s HARMs, by the way. The next generation HARM will have an even better seeker and longer range. "you also need airbases or aircraft carriers to operate them which are very vulnerable to modern accurate missile attack (ballistic and cruise missiles)" - The craters seen in satellite imagery show that half the missile strikes on Ukrainian air bases missed the runway. Runway attacks are also temporary, there's a reason purpose built anti-runway weapons often deployed AP mines to threaten the engineering works to repair the surface. "Hence why i see why Iran isn't investing heavily in modernizing its fleet even though Russia offers them their su-35 series, or China offers them J-10s etc." - Maybe that's just because Iran doesn't want to go bankrupt. Is Iran the smartest country in the world? Because you're just admitting that Russians and the Chinese see a future in aircraft. But Iran doesn't. Are you saying Iran is the wisest country or just use Iran as your example for everything?

  6. It's from a Pakistani nationalist, but the levels of delusion are the same.
