How do you know? Are you an expert on defense issues? And more importantly what do you know about air defense 10 years from now?
Who says it is fragile? The fact that F-22 or B-2 aren't used often in Iraq is understandable. But neither of us knows when and for what they are used. That is kept secret.
What world? Who is getting unmanned aircraft that are autonomously combat capable? You just repeat buzzwords you picked up somewhere...
Personally I have no opinion on if the F-22 program should be continued or not. There are many questions to be answered, most importantly visualizing future threats. Not many people are capable of doing so accurately. |
