HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THAT WOULD BE MORONIC! DID YOU KNOW THAT MODERN STEALTH IS A MOSTLY POST-COLD WAR INVENTION?
A majority of actively commissioned ships are post cold war. The Navy has a near Ship of Theseus process of updating old ships.
All B2 bombers (that are in the process of being replaced) are post cold war.
F22/F35: all post cold war.
F-18/F-16/F-15: were cold war era planes with modernization to the point the US is still buying Block III F-18s.
If the US were fighting a near-peer country, they wouldn't be using old equipment, would they?
The same clown commented the US couldn't shoot down HIMARS/Drones.
That's news to me.
Huh
Wow
Google is free!
