Air Combat Command leadership, threat to U.S. deterrent power

Thought for the day.

One of the principal reasons which justifies the additional design and maintenance expenditures on stealth aircraft is that significant economies can be produced by using all aspect stealthy penetration techniques – only the aircraft carrying bombs to strike targets need to be deployed, and a minimum of supporting aircraft are then necessary, with munitions expenditures limited to the bombs required to do the job. The SDD Joint Strike Fighter with its impaired stealth cannot use this strategy, and the operational economics are thus degraded to those of legacy aircraft, but still incurring nearly all of the cost burdens of a proper all aspect stealth design.

My assessment of top Air Combat Command leadership is that THEY, through their F-35 religion, are dangerous to the deterrent power of America. If this is the best they can do, we do not need them.

The F-35 will help an enemy to win.
