Who, exactly, are we supposed to be dog fighting with in next 20 years?

- ckib16 12y agoNobody knows. We usually cannot predict future conflicts very well. A number of people think Stealth increases the chance for WVR engagements (WVR = Within Visual Range, or dog fighting). I'm one of them. The U.S. has a bad history of predicting the end of WVR engagements (see Vietnam and the F-4 produced without internal guns). Air superiority is definitely not a thing that can be taken for granted. But many people do because the West has dominated the skies for many decades now.
