“Pierre Sprey was one of three designers who conceived and shaped the F-16; he also led the technical side of the US Air Force’s A-10 design concept team. James Stevenson is former editor of the Navy Fighter Weapons School’s”
Are you saying they have a conflict and are not qualified to comment?
I agree with many of the points in this article.
Obviously the authors are correct that using fast, high-flying platforms like the F-22 for ground attack is ridiculous.
But it’s equally ridiculous to decree that we no longer need an air-superiority fighter when there is still a China, a Russia, an Iran, out there. I don’t care what the qualifications of the authors are, that’s just stupid.
No-it was just that para was at the end of the article-I didn’t notice it while posting.
