Maybe we should look for a more reliable supplier and close our airspace to their jet fighters. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 70 points 6 months ago permalink fedilink source parent [–] Einskjaldi@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (2 children) There isn't one, the only stealth fighters are in the US or Russia/China. If you don't have stealth fighters at all you will lose very badly in an air war against someone that does. That's just how it is, you have an overwhelming advantage if you can shoot your enemy but they can't even see you at range. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] xyro@morbier.foo 7 points 6 months ago Buying weapons from a country that threaten to annexe you is not a long term solution neither.
