Point well taken, yet perhaps a faulty or questionable cost benefit analysis by the military. SendIng manned state of the art aircraft into combat involves putting hundreds of $millions at risk even if they all perform properly in combat owing to pilot error, equipment failures etc. FWIW, repairing a runway in full satellite view which may be again under attack just before the concrete sets might be challenging at best especially for the guys sent out to do the job. Hurry up Hussein, I hear that winding sound again of the widow-maker.
Curious if the decision makers even consider such basics any more given the vast array of high tech toys available to them.

Better to destroy the aircraft on the ground and in their hangars.
We might want to use those runways, ourselves.................
