Historically, sometimes the “Oldies But Goodies” still work in modern warfare.

One Japanese fleet was T-boned by a group of WW ONE cruisers/battleships and blown to bits, something our modern battleships never did.

Morse code and CB radios are still low frequency backups to high-tech, easy to disrupt modern communications. If you don’t believe me, see “Independence Day” and a movie by Bruce Willis with a CB radio complex in some geek’s basement.

I’ll take an F-4 for firepower/napalm on ISIS’s ass over anything other than a Warthog.
