Air dominance is better insured by better missile/bomb/satellites than by Ultra advance and expensive planes that can be easily destroyed.

Uuh no. The F22 won't be easily destroyed in battle.

Do you have a modern day example?

Tell me why and how.... Shouldn't fighters be a part of the overall air dominance?

Are you proposing to do away with all fighters? The F-22 has been scaled back in targeted production runs hasn't it?

I'm trying to learn thus I don't have any bonafides in this area....... However I asked about yours and they are?.......

"Air dominance is better insured by better missile/bomb/satellites than by Ultra advance and expensive planes that can be easily destroyed."

'Air dominance' has to be obtained before it can be insured - 'bombs', 'missiles' and satellites don't seize airspace from the enemy, they work in the relative calm after dominance has been won.

It'll be a long time before we develop unmanned vehicles capable of taking over from a defending air force so that the A-10s of the future can do their thing.

Nice missile mean jack if the jet can't get within range for a shot. . .and, oh by the way. . .see the enemy.

Satellites can see stuff but you have been watching too many Tom Clancy movies if you think satellites can actually track a multi-bogey air-to-air environment.

I was pinged for this thread but I can see you are offering nothing but "feelings" (democrat).

What you will find here on FR, rather than other forums, is a wealth of very experienced and many knowledgeable people with expertise in just about everything. So, if you are so inclined to start a thread that you hope may cause a debate, fine, but you better come armed with facts and experience and logic, not fancy dreams and declarative statements of no value or substance.

I am outta here on this one.
