1. I’d also say the war in Afghanistan shows its limitations.

2. It took them two years to figure out that NATO doctrine is completely wrong and a losing strategy?

3. need a way to launch a 2000 pound bomb about 10 miles from a land launcher

4. I hate to tell Business Insider, but the US Air Force probably does not need to rethink a more localized concept of air superiority. Localized air superiority is already a well-established concept. It was first developed by … the US Air Force.

5. I’d like to point out this quote came from the War on the Rocks podcast on Monday. They have some high level guests like the Air Force head and Marine Corps head.

6. Incremental surrender of American capabilities by the Biden administration.

7. What does “air superiority” even mean in the age of cheap drones?
