True. But it isn’t 1940. For example the US Navy had institutional blinders on then. Officially the USN believed that the Japanese couldn’t build an effective torpedo. They had the best one in the world while US torpedoes were utter shyt. Then the Vietnam experience taught the military to not underestimate a low tech determined foe. I’m pretty sure the DoD isn’t blowing off the Chinese like they did the Japanese.
What the hell was the “one mission?” Should have been in par 1.
The whole thing is poorly written. It sounds like either AI or a human ignoramus like Kamala whose extemporaneous speaking consists of Markov-chain word-salad that never comes to a point. Possibly Chinese or other foreign speaker. Possibly corrupted further by poor voice recognition. Obviously published without editing.
I took that statement to be a faulty voice recognition of “The Raptor HAS no match at all…”. But that’s being charitable.
I agree. My point was that we cannot be complacent and make assumptions like we did in 1940.
Going down in flames is a mission?
Apparently the SAM systems that Pakistan bought from China have a habit of not detecting aircraft that are clearly visible to the naked eye. And the missiles have a tendency to fly in any old direction. Chinese engines have extremely short lifetimes. They are a society that builds a lot crap.
I believe it was written by AI. Before the AI craze people would use software called Article Generators that would search the internet for keywords and generate an article everyday for websites they owned that had Google adsense. They would have hundreds of websites with fake articles and make lots of money.
Today you have thousands of tiktok videos from video generators doing the same thing to get ad money.
