“Air power may either end war or end civilization.”

Major world powers are competing for aerospace dominance. China, Russia and the United States are designing and developing next-generation bombers; France and India are each considering developing weapons capable of hypersonic speed; and the United Kingdom is presently arming its Royal Air Force with the Meteor air-to-air missile, which its manufacturer touts as being able to neutralize fighter jets, drones and cruise missiles.

Winston Churchill’s words from a speech in March 1933 may prove just as true today.

Is there any point in comparing basic numbers without taking into account sophistication / "generation," radar package, weapon load, etc?
