But its also highly overrated to travel over Mach 2.0 for today’s fighter with today’s turbine fan engines.

Most of today’s air-combat still takes places at speed range of Mach<1.2.

Yeah, but you gotta get to the fight, toady.....and we'll see the heat signature on your French knockoff from orbit before it even gets off the ground......something the Chinese might want to consider before picking a fight......

"Most of today’s air-combat still takes places at speed range of Mach<1.2."

And where, exactly, is today's air combat taking place? Last I checked there hasn't been a real air war since Viet Nam if not Korea or WWI before that.

NOBODY challenges the US in any airspace we choose. Nobody.

That is precisely why there have been no air wars.

Only post-merge, and that piece of trash, that flashlight in the dark, shoot-me-first piece of junk would never survive to the merge.

You know nothing of fighter tactics, let alone MODERN fighter tactics.

Sheesh. . . you are making me laugh so much I can hardly type.
