Do some research about our 5th generation fighters and you would realize that Russian planes wouldn’t last a week.

We need to have a real conversation about balance of power in our politics.
The air power example is the easiest example... in the same scenario I highlighted a minute ago the Gepard powers on and locates the predator drone. The S300 lights up to acquire it and take its shot.
Problem is... neither see the F22 or F35 flying SEAD that has a Anti-Radiation Missile out the chute within 5 seconds of those radars turning on.
I know it's popular, especially among the Putin-tolerant right at the moment (that will shift when politically convenient to the left), to complain that we should be focusing on China...
This conflict has shown us the Balance of Power in the world currently is as follows;
United States.
.

China
India
France
UK(?... maybe Japan or South Korea)
Example 2;
We are witnessing what Ukraine is able to do with 18 HIMARS units...
We have five hundred and fifty of the fuckers.
