That is COOL!
I had a real hard time watching without laughing to some extent. All I could keep thinking about was the propaganda clips from Starship Troopers. Dead bug I'm doing my part! |

I guess we are back in the numbers game. No stealth, active jamming, and send it lots and lots of asset, overwhlem their defense, and eventually a few made it thru and drop the weapons...mission accomplished.
I recall similar tactics back in WW-2, where we send dozens of B-17 to go after a bridge. Low tech do have their advantages, they are cheap. |

Avenger only survives in a permissive environment.
Faced with rings of BUK, TOR and Pantsyr SAMs surrounding the big S-300 SAMs, the Avenger doesn't stand a chance. And reliance on electronic countermeasures is a fool's bet that your EW software programmers are better than the enemy's ECCM software programmers. |

There is always going to be risk...however, an ADA network can only deny airspace...the UAVs/Cruise Missiles/Strikers can use airspace. Honestly, I like the idea of LO autonomous UAVs for SEAD. I think that is their niche. |

I'd rather a swarm of cheap UCAVs lay some devastation down on the AD than lose manned planes. |
