“Typical NATO / USA gold plated overcomplicated fragile crap that is good for the occasional precision strikes on ragheads, but doesn’t last one day in a real war”
Oh PLEASE. They weren’t meant to fight wars, they were meant to SEND A MESSAGE. If we wanted weapons to fight wars, we would have bought them from the Russians.
I’m not sure. I really believe that they though their wonder weapons would defeat “low tech” Russia.
I don’t think that the reality will sink in until they lose several carriers in one day to hypersonic missiles / and or drones.
And even then, they will want to escalate to nuclear war, rather than take the L.
