That is the thing, even if Chinese bombers are worse...it is very clear American air defenses are almost completely reliant on fighters. The US now have to devote more and more of its fighter fleet to protect its bases, possibly some on American soil, which frees up more and more of the PLAAF (also the RuAF and everyone who doesn't like the US).

There's probably none of the ground based radar and GCI infrastructure leftover from the F-106 days eh? That's probably expensive to rebuild, and might explain balloon mania a bit.

The Nike system was completely dismantled in the 1970s and was not replaced by anything (there was a battery not that far from the Hollywood sign). T

T There's also a battery just north of the Golden Gate bridge, you can go in and get a tour of it. I'm sure that lobbing nukes at the H-20 bomber is viable solution so we should get started on reactivating them.

The protesters should be sending up drones to orbit those clowns. Just videotaping what they are up to would be good, but they probably would also freak out and run away.

In 2020, a USAF report noted "unacceptable" accuracy problems with the GAU-22/A on the F-35A. These were due to "misalignment" in the gun's mount, which was also susceptible to cracking. These problems were resolved by 2024. The F-35B and F-35C have no internal gun and instead can use a Terma A/S multi-mission pod (MMP) carrying the GAU-22/A and 220 rounds; the pod is mounted on the centerline of the aircraft and shaped to reduce its radar cross-section

The plan was to mount an external pod on an aircraft that is suppose to all be about stealth?

Mike Pompeo sent his book to President Xi. The title "Never Give an Inch" seems to be an accurate summation of the US approach to diplomacy. https://twitter.com/mikepompeo/status/1784222251941838979 Some poor low-ranking diplomatic functionary is probably going to be assigned to actually read this.
