What is with the guy in the suit at the end! - trying to explain that the aircraft must be more sophisticated because we can only build a certain amount of them??
I think you only picked up on part of the argument; you should watch the whole video and both segments.
Is the old “quantity versus quality”/technology/sophistication argument. Josef Stalin allegedly responded to America having more advanced technology/quality by saying; “quantity has a quality all of its own“.
So it’s an argument that has been going on for a long time. Whether it be the AK-47 vrs M-16, F-16 vrs F-15, JSF vrs F-22. Often it’s a matter of tactics and scenario as to which one is better; as they often are apples and oranges and all have their advantages depending on the conditions. So there are good arguments on both sides; but I feel in the some of it all it is not a very good argument because it depends on the scenario and conditions. At this time I still feel we need a heavy fighter and a light fighter. |
