Su-35 ended up being pretty weak for its potential though...
Old F-15s have so many airframe aging issues and F-22/F-35 are hangar queen. Having fighters that can fly is way more important than having fighters that are G limited for structural reasons, grounded or unavailable.
Relying on surveillance, the kill chain need to be short and outside the range of any hacker. AI will help but you need insane coverage from interception missiles platform too, not just from satellites.
It's hard to test defence systems without the real threat, they don't have any hypersonic missiles to test against it. Look like vaporware but it's still a good tinfoil to bring money home for the defence industry.
how do you know? just because it can destroy a air defense system does not mean it has to do it right away.
and there is alot of experimentation going with alot of systems both ground and air.
It was presented from day 1 as acting combined with attack choppers.
How exactly?.
Seems like AGM-183 ARRW is moving forward. Nothing really official, but the fact that it now has to be discussed in a classified environment tells me the program must have turned a corner.
Maybe they will test it more but behind the humiliation of it failing in the public eyes.
