" ... For example, clicking on the map’s Bomber Aircraft tab shows that Chinese H-6 bombers based on Woody Island – about 400 miles from Hong Kong — could strike targets far to the east of the Philippines, and as far south as Singapore, the vital shipping routes through the Strait of Malacca, and Indonesia’s capital Jakarta. China’s J-11 fighters could reach as far as Singapore, Balikpapan and the Java Sea, as well as to the east of the Philippines. Southern Vietnam and Malaysia would be well within range of Chinese airpower. ... "
" ... Light attack aircraft were just that – smaller attack aircraft like the A-37 Dragonfly or Navy OV-10, with significant weapons loads but not designed to stand up in the front of the apocalyptic Soviet/NATO battlefield. For the Air Force, the long path to considering a new attack aircraft started in 2008. Faced with increasing airpower demand in Iraq and Afghanistan, the existing fighters were being wrung out. For the kind of air support we were providing for U.S. ground forces, the existing F-16, F-15E and Navy / Marine F-18 were a ridiculous overmatch. Recall that by 2008, the Air Force and Naval aviation had been in continuous combat since January 16, 1991, and a decade and a half later the strain was showing. Meeting airpower demand with expensive, high end aircraft was the only option we had, and we were flying their wings off. We still are. ... "
" ... That has resulted in a surge in the number of bombs dropped and the increase is primarily due to a change in the rules of engagement orchestrated by former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis. Certain restrictions on the employment of airpower were removed so it could be employed more effectively. That change in strategy has come at a cost with the United Nations announcing last summer that Afghan and U.S. forces killed more civilians in the first half of the year than insurgents. ... "
" ... There is no such thing as an equitable trade between new and old airpower technologies. It can take about 10 to 20 or more legacy fighters to accomplish the same effect achievable by a handful of F-22s or F-35s. If we are talking about striking targets, B-21s will hold an even more powerful advantage given range and payload attributes. The Air Force should not trade away even a portion of such obvious mission value to buy less effective aircraft under the assumption that they are “less costly and almost as effective.” Those two supposed attributes are of no value if the aircraft get shot down by an adversary as a result of their being non-stealthy with vulnerable and readily detectable radar and infra-red signatures. ... "
" ... Those days are gone. Even if manned aircraft are someday replaced by fleets of cheap, expendable drones, they would likely be met by masses of anti-drone weapons. The fact remains that even if the U.S. remains ahead technologically, Russia and China have plenty of sophisticated weapons and the military competence to use them. Given U.S. dependence on airpower, they don’t need to defeat the U.S. Air Force. They just need to inflict enough losses to prevent the Air Force from accomplishing its mission. ... "
