re: #366 Great White Snark

Not a particular study. Confession time-I use an advanced sim to model some of this. Used to be a $199 game. (Steam $39) That thing has the latest public data on practically everyone’s military. kay that’s a game, might be FOS. Even though the Navy buys it, mods it and trains with it.

Just look at the specs for our Patriot missile and the Russian equivalent. Israeli anti air developments, again on our $$.

Imagine an A-10 trying to get into defended airspace over Israel or Russia. Or stay alive more than minutes. Those weapons make their way down the allied nations via arms sales over time. Recall what a complication the new Russian anti air missiles were going to be if sold to Iran? That’s the kind of example I’m using.

That’s gonna be a drone job.

That’s the same sim War is Boring used to model the Baltic aerial fight between the F-35 and the Su-35S. Given that my posting about that touched off this whole discussion, I’d say you just brought things full circle, RWC.
