Interesting, what exactly quantifies the power level of an air force? Number of planes? Lack of susceptibility to drone or doohickey attack? Ability to fly when wind or rain exists? Budget?
It's always budget. More expensive plane = more better.
Nah nah, it's the long history of indiscriminately bombing civilians without repercussion
Well, those top three rankings stay the same if you use both # of planes and budget. Most planes have very little to worry about in terms of drones, unless they are on the ground. The US just has really big and theoretically effective air power. Also, what Shrike502 said.
Fighter jets are only even "flight-ready" between ½ and ⅔ of the time, but are not flying anywhere close to that. They're also extremely expensive and easy to target when grounded.
We're at a point in asymmetric warfare where a handful of drones could visibly sink an entire carrier fleet. We'll see how much longer that "air superiority" matters, I guess
