Hypersonic air to air missiles will preclude ever seeing the enemy as will ai drones now under construction by kratos. LOL the Libyan civil war was retards chasing retards. Jesus you are dumb, are they still letting you play with minesTop gun is a complete fucking waste of time as no pilot will ever dogfight again.
*laughs*
*looks up again, laughs even harder*
Oh really now, once again you just inject nonsense and show that you are really John Snow.
The first American air-to-air kill involving manned aircraft in almost two decades opens up a new chapter in American warfare — and perhaps a more dangerous phase of the air war against the Islamic State terror group.
Nobody knows yet what the ramifications will be from the June 18 shootdown of a Syrian Su-22 fighter jet by a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, but it — along with Air Force F-15s shooting down drones on two recent occasions — quickly raised tensions in the volatile Syrian theater.Air-to-air combat is back: How will the Air Force respond as the war over Syria heats up?

OK, so "never again", since 2017. So kindly tell me, what has changed so much in 4 years to have made it obsolete?
There were dozens of air to air kills in the Libyan Civil War. At least 3 Ukrainian fighters were show down in air to air action in 2014.
In the modern era, "dogfighting" is actually primarily used against drones. And the same skills needed to dogfight a drone are those needed to dogfight a real person.
So while true, that "dogfighting" against another manned aircraft is rare, the skill itself and the use are not. And as drones are becoming rapidly more sophisticated, the skill is only going to become more critical. Especially as the newer generations of drones become more "stealthy", and the only way to acquire, target, and destroy them will be increasingly visual.
So please, do as you have every other time and inform us all exactly why dogfighting is obsolete, and will never be used again.
