No sir , Russia is a wreck of her former self, she is struggling to keep her image.... China is the real deal.... it's China and Pakistan who are running the middle east theatre.
textbooks from last century should be rewritten to adapt to new realities imo... I bet the one who wrote these lines never saw a country like Iran coming: a country with basically no air force but deadly missiles. well I guess the E-3 and KC-135 kills could fit the "defeat enemy air force while they are on the ground" narrativeAm going to get this straight...
Air Dominance: The ability of an air force to compel other air forces to re-array themselves, usually into subordinate postures.
Air Superiority: The ability of an air force to achieve control of contested airspace(s), repeatedly if necessary, and if there are losses, those losses would not pose a statistical deterrence to that ability.
Air Supremacy: He flies, he dies.
The clear indicator here is air force vs air force.
There are two ways you can lose an air attacker, be it a fighter or a bomber: against the opposing air force, or against ground based defense.
We can eliminate the Iranian air force as cause of our air losses. The best way to defeat enemy air force is to destroy them while they are on the ground.
Ground based air defense is the last line of defense. Ground based air defense is when the enemy is literally over you. Ground based air defense is REACTIVE while an air force is PROACTIVE/PREEMPTIVE. Ground based air defense CANNOT carry the fight to the enemy but an air force can. Do you understand?
Like it or not, the US owns Iranian airspace. Any Iranian airplane flies, he dies. Simple as that.

My bad i was thinking of scott o grady a us f-16 pilot shot down over bosnia in 1994. He did survive for 6 days6 days? you are very wrong about that. can you double check that then return please?
