Its just a mig-19 no match even for our early 1970’s aircraft.

With this administration it won’t be long before the Chicoms
have the plans for the F-22 or the F-35.

I think that if you ask veteran Vietnam pilots you’ll find that the gun-armed MiG-19 presented the F-4 & F-105’s a lot of problems. Neither US aircraft had an internal cannon and the MiG would often sneak in close before it got detected. Close is where guns defeat missiles and also where maneuverability trumps raw power.
