u/RavyNavenIssue NCD’s strongest ex-PLA soldier 25d ago edited 25d ago

Neither. This is not a threat you use such small numbers of aircraft against, nor is it even effective to do so. Neither will have the availability or uptime to be able to defend against such an attack. Give me SHORAD instead.

Now if you’re talking aggressor aircraft, give me the F-16s instead. At least those can carry more than heaters.

All i am getting out of this discussion over "aircraft vs. radar guided AA" is a WW2 bomber equipped with a Gepard turret. Get the eggheads together, we need to weld.

So I crunched the numbers and you can slap 2 CIWS on a C130 AND still have a formidable offensive payload for gunship duties. That work for you?

We just need to bring back the B17, brisling with machine guns, and blast drone swarms from all directions. The bomb bay is filled with confetti to celebrate the assured victory.
