Can you cite/name this pretty capable equipment
?
Again, I am no expert.
I suspect stealth is what is required, from the military leadership, to be able to take on the Russians and Chinese particularly.
I also wonder about putting so many expensive eggs into the stealth basket, but it is what it is.
I would prefer we build a fleet of Mach 3 B-70s against the Chinese and Russians, but that isn’t where things seem to be leading.
