And that supposes an air-to-air battle.

I think it would be Cruise Missles, then Stealth Bombers, then we would clean up those aircraft that did not fly out of the country seeking asylum.

Then, it would be MOABs and lots of them (if it goes MY way)

Cruise missiles.
Stealth bombers.
Arclight raids.
Tactical bombing.
MLRS.
155mm howitzers.
Apaches.
120mm mortars.
THEN the infantry and armor hit them.

They ain't got a chance in hell.

"Then, it would be MOABs and lots of them (if it goes MY way)"

Why? You mean you would have cargo aircraft... the MOAB delivery platform.. fly into a hostile environment of any kind? They would not even need to have their old F-14's get into the fight.

What is it with a MOAB? They are a VERY limited use weapons. Actually not very good at clearing anything but minimally reinforced bunkers (rarely) and trees and heavy brush. MOAB's barely caused any seismic disturbance when tested.

Why do you think we never use them? They do make a neat conventional fireball and a loud noise but that is it.

That's right, the best "air battle" is jockeying for position on the refueling tanker after taking them out on the ground. Not a fair fight, but when it's our guys' butts on the line, fair just doesn't come into it.
