    At the time, the Russians probably thought they were so smart. “Stupid Americans spending billions on new fighter planes… Oh wait, shit.”

      I mean, it didn’t actually hurt their own sales and war never broke out so… I guess they probably didn’t care?

      Putin might when his new “Fifth Gen” fighters get vibe checked in the 2030 resource wars.

        As if Putin would last that long. Or Russia. Or Russian fighters.

        By 2030, if they have any wars, they’ll be using paper airplanes, sticks, and rocks. That would be all that’s leftover.
