If only we had some way of affording a larger military with a proper ground attack aircraft to support them.... Oh well, money doesn't grow on trees! *F-35 lands in a forest setting 40,000 acres ablaze*

Cream_Filling posted:One pilot complained about the touch screen interface used to control the radios, saying it is not readily accessible, requires more channelized attention, has no tactile feedback, and is error prone particularly during demanding phases of flight or under turbulent flight conditions. I have said, and am saying again: Touchscreens are great for casual stuff but poo poo for any serious application. Touchscreens on Ipads and Smartphones and poo poo? More power to you. Touchscreens on a computer where I type more than two sentences at a time?  Touchscreens to drive a car, let alone to fly a loving fighter jet?

I'll go out on a limb and guess that touchscreens also cost more than the traditional interface.

All aviation electronics, including the lovely 8 inch monitor in a coach seat back are insanely expensive because each component needs to be flame retardant. A business class sleeper seat on an airliner with a full entertainment suite costs like half a million new. the entertainment system in coach costs more than all the electronics in the average person's house per seat.

America and Russia's militarizes are so lovely at this point that at the very least, Western Europe would have to do most of the fighting in Ukraine since the two main players are using planes that fall out of the sky and tanks that burst into flame without firing a shot. Of course, that will be Western Europe's last time in the spotlight so they better enjoy it.

On a hypothetical idealized battlefield yes, but home-field advantage is a really big loving deal. The US is the only military that can solve the logistic equation to project power because of the simple mass of money behind every movement. This doesn't mean there is the ability to arbitrarily project power around the world.
