Hopefully well. Those are flying coffins these days against state of the art AA. We need better missiles instead!

Same as we thought about our dumb bombs, right?

Trying to predict the next war or the what we’ll be against is ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS, which is why we keep getting our butts kicked, as clearly spelled out at the beginning of Top Gun (when they talked about how we got our asses kicked in dog fights...because our brass thought that dog fights were also ‘obsolete’ so we stopped training our pilots).

Sorry, but Russia GOT THIS RIGHT, which is that thinking you can figure out the next war is downright STUPID, so you hold on to what you have, and then if you need it, it is there. If not, it is a relatively small cost and you write it off.
