US has burned through ‘years’ of munitions since start of Iran war.
there is a SCMP report that US MIC has only 2 months of rare earth reseves left. If the report is true then it's game over
I am hearing alot less of F-18 performance this war than before. We're seeing alot of F-15s and F-35s but not much about F-18. Wonder why?
F15 and F35 are probably Israel's asset. Though American CSG have the ability to launch FA18 and F35C. Isnt it was reported that IDF did most of the bombing? US does support with tactical and strategic bomber strikes.
F-18 are naval fighters. Are carriers currently close enough to reach strike sites in Iran without refueling?
If that is true the desperation has too be in another level.
You can fly into friendly gulf states and refuel there.
There's a steady enough stream of their flight operations...they fly. Obviously more numerous and heavier air force jets with more range, more fixed airfields and far better tanking fly more.
There are no Hitlers here. Only Mussolinis.
