I would've used to agree with you because of those Indian-US Wargames where the USAF got pwned.
Until i read that the USAF told their F-15Cs and F-16s not to use their radars to get more F-22 funding. That killed the buzzstreak, and i am now of the opposite opinion.

Well, I'm not like most Englishmen, I have an inferiority complex... I think I'm the same as everyone else. This means I'll defend races that clearly should be ours... the Indians... the French.... the Americans...
On that subject... if we hadn't went to war in India, we'd have kept the 13 colonies.

Correct me I'f I'm wrong but don't pure VTOLs need more fuel to get airborne as they have to realy solely on their engines to get airborne?

In the days of satellite reconnaissance and modern SAMs, the SR-71 is dreadfully obsolete. If however, you are using it as a fighter, use the YF-12 because it can actually carry weapons. Either way its a bad Idea. (Although I will admit I use the YF-12, it was adopted in its original role as an interceptor and remains in service as an aggressor trainer standing in for hypersonic high altitude enemy bombers and re-entering suborbital strike aircraft.)

You do know how fast a SR-71 is right? Satellite won't help.
