Incapable Against J-20 Fighters – US Air Force Says ‘Not Ready For 21st-Century Battle’ With China Due To Outdated AWACS

[Aasimkhan]

Rattled? Hardly. The E-3 platform is nearly 50 yrs old and the fleet has served our needs far beyond what we originally designed it to be. Just because someone made a technically based comment about a potential adversary does not mean we are 'rattled' about it. The J-20 have yet to prove to be a threat.

Being a Super power you can afford to get NEW TOYS FOR THE BOYS, may be this is a necessity to keep the innovation in technology alive to maintain USA's cutting edge technology but dont say J20 is yet to prove its a threat, It is a threat already, the only it has not done so far is draw the blood.

As you wish...Here is the USAF/USN training progress chart...

If we recalibrate an air force's capabilities to when the jet age began, because the jet engine was a point of no return for aviation, the USAF/USN have 70 yrs of drawing blood day/night and all weather. China -- 0.

Show some respect to your predecessor will you?

Of course big question is how they would use Sentry's in a predominantly Naval battle

Stationing the E-7 at air bases as close to China as possible. Kadena but also islands closer to Taiwan.

Roman empire was unchallenged for more than 1000 years, but it met its match, US is no exception

Not interested. The US 'empire', stretching the meaning of the word, will last longer than your great grandchildren's lifetimes. So please stop bringing up the Roman Empire.

Please actually listen to the original interview and what Gen Wilsbach said. It's really disheartening to see people twist the original comments and then get posted without the context of the question/answers.
