My son flies an F-15E. They often have gone up against F-22’s in mock dogfights. If they are lucky, they only need three or four of them to find and attempt to attack one F-22 before they are “shot down”.
According to him. the Chinese also have an air-to-air missile that if it is fired at them, their only hope for survival will be the eject lever. It is the bomber and the fighter-bombers that accomplish the lion’s share of the “early” missions, led by the stealth planes that can survive while shooting down enemy fighters that otherwise would destroy our fighter-bombers.
Let’s not get too focused on Obambi here. If the Iranians for example decide to do something “stupid” Obambi will be controlled by events whether he likes it or not.
I disagree.....
Obama will do what Obama wants to do.
He's a hardheaded pacifist pig. If he does not want to strike back, he will not do it.
This is what concerns me with nukes. If Iran uses one, Obama will sit on his thumbs and pretend he is superior by not doing anything. Hence, the response deterrent is not there now. We become sitting targets.
