Yep. But we must accept high-risk encounters ie lots of downed planes and dead pilots. However, making an airforce on the cheap, means we will have to re-manufacture lots of cheaply made Sopwith Camels and Spads - Gates knows what he is doing, doesn’t he?
Those pesky Flankers, PACs, SA 400, and Anti-Access weapons will never be able to detect our new WWI airforce.
When it comes, if it ever does, perhaps we can have US pilots wave pictures of the still-to-be-produced F35s at the opposition - sure to strike fear in their evil hearts.

No We don’t really know what we will be facing in Air Combat in the Next decade or longer untill our enemies take there Air Craft out and face us.The only thing we do know is what the opposition wants us too know and most of that is disinformation. The same way with our Military Services.
