I don't have to divulge myself but I know the defense industry enough said!
Divulge what? We, or at least I, can tell when a poser is talking. So far, I have yet to see anything from you that even hints that you know what TF you are talking about.
Just because Russia is incompetent over Ukraine, from the beginning until now, does not mean that we will be the same. General Allvin did not revealed any specifics in that article. All he did was essentially gave US airmen a soft alert, not even a warning, that as air defense gets more sophisticated, US airpower needs to be
PREEMPTIVELY adaptive, and Ukraine is giving US plenty of opportunities for that, especially since Ukraine is using Western arms. There was nothing in that article that says US cannot defeat any air defense system. If we stay as we are, then yes, as new technology enables new tactics, we
WILL be defeated. And that was the point that Allvin put forth -- do not ignore what you (airmen) see.
Point 1. When you deploy 1000 air assets against 100, there is no excuse outside of incompetence for your failure to establish air superiority over there. When the US created Top Gun and Fighter Weapons School, that was US saying 'No excuse' to ourselves. We did not blame the Soviets or the North Koreans or the North Vietnamese. But now, Russian incompetence is unbelievably celebrated by those who never even served in their own countries' military.
Point 2. Once Ukraine received Western arms, do not allow them to gain experience with those weapons. But again, Russian incompetence enabled that. Western arms is reputed to be technologically more advanced than Russian versions. We can be critical and say that reputation was not consistently earned. Fair enough. If Russia got their shids together, we would not see the war deteriorated to WW 1 trench warfare today. Instead, the Ukrainians had time to train and learn in near real time on what Western arms can do. In this case, your incompetence leads to enemy's expertise.

air is overated.
I hope every country believes that. I hope that every military get rid of their air forces, invests heavily in SAM and rocket artillery, then change their war doctrines to static positions. By all the gods Man ever imagined, I prey (deliberate use) to them that this will happen.
