  • Also ironically interceptors like the Avro are back baby. The argument was they became useless in the new ICBM reality. But they never really did. They served roles in airforces since, and now Ukraine wants more interceptors than anything else because there isnt any dog fighting or offensive bombing runs happening via jet. US jets getting downed over Iran further nailed that stake into the coffin. Meanwhile interceptors deliver counter missiles and fast, and can be used for delivery of long range munitions. Not needing specialized hangers like F35s is a huge plus.

    Jets like the F35 will not survive the shift to modern warfare like the battleship didnt survive the transition into the last era.
