with the idea of an air armada overpowering their enemies’ small handful of ultra high tech aircraft.

Exactly. As Stalin correctly observed, quantity has a quality all its own.

We are moving in the direction of having only a handful of super whiz-bang planes in the USAF. Yeah, they're GREAT planes, but if just a few of them go down we are toast.

I've had the same concern since the B2, which has now become the Air Force equivalent of a "Capital Ship".

We need a new Air Force equivalent of a destroyer.
