The US has 14,000 military aircraft, more than China and Russia combined. And across the spectrum of age and capability our platforms are far superior to both.
I have respect for Kyle Mizokami, and especially so for Popular Mechanics.
But it's budget season and they'll print what the Pentagon wants.

How’s that F-22 trade for the F-35 working out, General?

And how long before it went “bad”.
I am not concerned about the Air Force.
However, I am concerned about the pussys running this country after the first missile hits Long Beach. We are a country quickly becoming run by Neville Chamberlains.
To: Mariner
That’s okay. If the Air Force is short on conventional weapons, the nukes will fly.

The Air Farce have themselves to blame. And on top of that, China has schematics on likely EVERY plane, down to the screws and rivets. And they manufacture the rest.

Let me guess. We’ve spent 35 years teacking other countries our methods in combat situations....now every one is trained...

a) you have to get them to the front lines intact
b) say half are in maintenance and not Mission Capable
c) the US had no answer to the Russian R7 BVR missile - ceding 30-45 miles.
d) Quantity has a Quality all its own. We have fancy planes - but in limited numbers; they have hoards of lower quality planes packing superior missiles.
