how many can be realistically produced and fielded in an actual total war situation?
all of this gear assumes a kind of warfare that cannot be fucking fought so long as ICBM’s exist
I think you're onto something here, but you have it backwards. You don't need to produce a jet that's economical to produce at scale in a total war scenario because such a scenario will never exist as long as nukes do.
