  • Both were great ideas. The US aviation at that time were mostly trained to do interception because the fear in that time was the long range strategical bombers. The concepts of BFM that where known in WW2 was unknown for the new pilots.

    I think defeat is from where you learn the most. And the US learnt a lot of strategies for modern combat from there. And also modified all their training from there and their weapons design.






  • Russia SAM’s are good. It’s the only thing where they (can) put money. Aircraft designs are solid but they don’t have “gadgets” to equip them and be competent at modern air combat.

    SAMs can be good only by the dissuasive factor. Which is the point of them.

    Although not sure how many operative new SAMs Russia has or can move to the front in operative state. The USSR had great technology and even sometimes was better than US tech, but they lack the means to create a reliable industry production of it. So most of the stuff stays as a few demo products but never gets to the front in full scale.
