I guess we could do this “urination competition” all night - you don’t know what I know either. What I am sure of is that all technology is eventually defeated by more technology. The question at hand is whether we will continue to carry delicate, irreplaceable, G-sensitive, air conditioning and oxygen-dependent payloads into next generation combat. If we don’t advance, our competitors will. The battleship sailors “knew” that airplanes couldn’t harm their ships. Billy Mitchell knew better and proved it. EW is a finger in the dike against the threat of a new generation of combat capabilites.

I think numbers are important in warfare. After all, Germany did have the technological advantage in WW2 and they lost. We did not have anything that came close to the King Panzer.
They have jet fighters, remote controlled bombs (cruise missiles) and V2s.
