The author fails to mention that the Russian R9 BVR missile has a tested range out to almost 200 miles, well beyond anything in the US inventory. Oh, and they sold the missile to China ...
That we know of...................
“The author fails to mention that the Russian R9 BVR missile has a tested range out to almost 200 miles”
It also fails to mention that the radar on this missile, or any other missile (high frequency for precise speed, range) cannot target the F-35.
Even when the Russians link multiple VHF, low frequency radars to find the general position of US stealth aircraft, their long range missiles cannot hit the target once they get there.
And the Chinese are even less capable.
