1 - Just because there have been no wars doesn't guarantee there wont be none in future.How many wars have we had since 2002 with India where we needed to use our air force? There was no war nor is there isn't one in the foreseeable future.
You are still living in the time of your youth when advanced jets were used to bomb enemy's bases and important facilities, now the same is done by pressing a button to launch a CM or a BM. There is a belief in the Military hierarchy that the new war is insurgency which is already upon us and we need to be better prepared to fight it. If there is an all out war it will not be a conventional tank vs tank, artillery vs artillery and aircraft vs aircraft war, it will quickly escalate to Nuclear which will end both countries leaving no need for advanced weapons.
2 - If CMs or BMs are the only solution i see no need for USAF to go for Raptors and Lighting thunders IIs, or Russia going for flankers and PAK FGA/TA 50 or China for JXXs
3 - If insurgency is the only type of threat we are facing, there is no need to even go for F-16s, subs, corvettes or SAM batteries. We can handle insurgency in half the money we are spending on big ticket items.
Mastan Khan has been very clear for what he is advocating. Its painful that people at least cannot acknowledge the rationale he has put forward in front everyone.
