Pilot quality is paramont. Poory trained pilots will do nothing but waste aircraft.

Add to that what is called force multipliers*. One can have a superb system, but if it´s not integrated in a usefull net of other systems its efficiency is severely handicapped. IJN has almost none back then and Israeli denied Syrian´s the use of theirs while maximizing their own.


(*) - A capability that, when added to and employed by a combat force, significantly increases the combat potential of that force and thus enhances the probability of successful mission accomplishment.

You're preaching to the choir. Our military is so networked that just about every system is a force multiplier. All our weapon systems can both act independently and as a whole. The SSGN is a prime example, on its own it can unlease massive distruction on an enemy but as part of an overall strike force it can "knock down the door" for the fixed wing guys.

This is why US is the undisputable military mighty since the late 80s. Also, I kind of like Carlo Kopp but it must be clear he has an agenda: making US to sell, and Australia to buy, F-22s.

Besides, the chinese have a long way to go. Last time I checked they still couldn´t produce Su-27s engines with original standards. What to say of a 5th airplane?
