Not just with airplanes! See the Millennium Challenge 2002 naval exercise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002 TL;DR: the Red team general, with Iran-equivalent forces at disposal, employed asymmetric tactics and WW2 equipment to sink an aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five amphibious landing ships, estimated loss of 20 000 US military personell. Then they stopped the exercise because it was too embarrasing, refloated the Blue team ships and instructed the Red team to play by the instructions designed to make them lose.
