Yep.

I have always been an advocate for putting up another couple hundred Raptors...another 300 BRAND NEW/UPDATED F-15c and probably 500 or so of the newest F-16.

Augmented by a few thousand combat drones controlled by the manned aircraft via local links.

MUCH MUCH cheaper and very likely far more effective.

I thought it was closer to $200 million, but your point stands.
