I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you, but your rosy observations aren't at all in line with US military thinking, which is why we've consistently focused more of our assets on China.

From what info i could find ,it seems china outnumbers our fighters by a few hundred.

Now from a technological point of view I'm not sure how the Mig-19's(china's main fighter) fair against our main fighters...the F-15 and 16.


Though with our F-22's and the development of the F-35, it seems china doesn't really have an aircraft capable of matching these aircraft.

Ill try to save this one from the move to Politics. The policy community is sharply divided on this issue. Every other FP is filled former statesmen, retired generals, and academics at one another's neck over this shit.

We don't have to worry about the Russian Air Force, the Russian Army has our backs.

^ That guy watched too much Top Gun.

It would be a waste to send F22s after Migs. A couple of them with good pilots could take out a whole squadron of Chinese Migs. Stealth ftw.
