And i dont care much for its NATO code name. Fulcrum, Flankers are cool. Ive heard that Russian pilots sometimes use these terms with eachother beacause there so common. Fishbed never got as popular. I wonder why that was...

Omg i wasnt saying the Fishbed will own the Raptor wtf? I was saying thats what Russian weapons fans say on here. And that confuses me to death. If you know about radars and missile technology etc you would be confused as me. Im not saying i would underestimate the Mig-21 against the Raptor it does have its attributes; its the fastest and climbs like crayzi etc but i would give it a 5% chance max in a battle against the Raptor.

Spend, spend, spend billions of dollars, money you do not have, mortgage your country, mortgage you land, you have enough taxpayers China will lend. But you have to buy, buy, buy, my Chinese made junk, and labor in pain from surplus of workers who get very little but you own me a lot.
Do not worry China you'll get paid very soon, when the blue moon comes out, with money devalued in half and dollar in rout.

The only time those kinda of weapons will ever be used is during a full scale nuclear war between Russia/US, most war games predict that both fleets will be destroyed within the first hours of the war. Aircraft carriers were never developed for nuclear war, they were developed to project military power of conventional war.

Most countries don't have the hardware to threaten a naval carrier fleet.

Because with Aircraft Carriers, you can bring airpower anywhere at anytime and don't have to rely on having an airbase nearby to bring that airpower where it needs to be.

The reason why Koindrank is because most of these planes don't have very long endurance. To maintain their combat strength you have to spend hundreds of hours of maintenance for each. By spreading out bases all over the world they can hop in and out of combat. If they had to fly back to the US most of them wouldn't make it due to combat wear and tear eventually.

The majority of the maintenance is on it's stealth skin. It has nothing to do with the endurance.

Nah, the inside is still machinery which has to be maintained like any other aircraft. That means someone has to go through inspect, clean, replace parts which wear out. That means 100's of hours of work per aircraft per flight hour.
The planes themselves can fly around the world no problem, with in-air refuling but the pilots can't do too many 12 hour hauls and still be combat effective so they have to spread out those bases.
