Yes and yes, although technically for A2A it is beyond visual range vs the horizon.

My guess is lasers appear as weapons systems and that technology sweeps past a whole generation of airframe development.

Because the world hates the f’ing F35

Agreed. Speed of light weapons can't be avoided by acrobatics.

How could you put something so beautiful next to something so pig assed ugly?

The most significant effort in aerospace engineering in the next 20 years will be the development of autonomous combat systems.

I'm with you, we are at the end of manned combat platforms. You will even see unmanned naval surface platforms within 20 years.

My name is Lou. Lou Tenent. But you can call me Lou. 😆

Nuke on a truck is still a nuke. I'd would even bet on static nukes in likely invasion routes.

They would loose control of the air fast and armored columns would be made short work of, but infantry formations would be all over the place and it…
