Is it that easy? It's that how you can do it against Iran? Take out the kill chain with lots of missiles?
It's not difficult. You don't understand that there is no such thing as a superweapon that can change everything, including nuclear weapons. Every weapon has a powerful system behind it. Like an aircraft carrier, the most powerful battleship needs a bunch of other ships around it. Not to mention the satellite communications, reconnaissance systems behind it.
Likewise, missiles are not. Missiles need maintenance, training. You need target information before launch, a secure launch site. After launch you need to track the missile information, assess the impact, and prepare for the next strike.
A complete combat system is composed of many subsystems. The difference between large and small countries is in the integrity of these subsystems.
If India buys the F-35, do you think IAF is as powerful as USAF?
Of course not. The USAF does not just use the F-35. It also has advanced early warning aircraft, refueling aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, various weapons systems, satellite reconnaissance systems. At the same time there are complete logistics, maintenance, spare parts replacement. Modified and upgraded r&d capabilities.
