We canned all our better missiles and the ones we have left we didn’t significantly upgrade.
Also, we don’t seem to have done anything to defend against ‘AWACS killer’ missiles, which pretty much everyone who would be our assailant or would find themselves up against an AWACS like system has been concentrating on for decades now.
If their supporting AWACS gets taken out, even MiG-29s can take out our F-22s and our F-35s if they have to acquire their own targets - or worse, radiate. This has been shown in multiple exercises where our fighters had to go into action without AWACS support. It’s a BIG glaring problem in our doctrine and capabilities.
In the modern battlespace, you radiate - you die.
Without AWACs, our battle strategy is drastically altered.
