Warplanes tend to be pampered and the fact that these have been flying without any manufacturer support for over 40-years should say something regarding core avionics and crew competence.

We mock them at our peril and underestimating a potential enemy has never been a good idea as the above examples show. They may well be paper-airplanes but it's a tremendously bad idea to treat that assumption as fact.

Well said
