So, the lesson from this is that if USAF has air superiority, then the BUFF will rule the battlefield.

name one country that can actually challenge US air dominance?
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

No one that I can think of.  However, a few countries, Russia, China, Norks, maybe Iran, would give a try.  Or at least make it difficult for the BUFFs to do their thing without more worry/support.

Nobody provided the U.S. has planes that can actually fly when they're supposed to and pilots to man them which lately hasn't been a sure thing.

Let's be honest - no one has really tried to challenge US air dominance since Korea.  Even the Vietnamese didn't send up a whole lot of planes to fight back.

What would it look like if the Russians actually started shooting back with all their AA in support of their aircraft engaging us?

The Kremlin has decided to turn their disinformation machine on the White Helmets in Syria

They are targeting hospitals so this is no surprise... expected really.

The Iraqi Air Force put on a great show during the first Gulf War...by flying to Iran to hide.
