I think you will enjoy reading about Zoltan Dani [1]. He managed to take down a stealth F-117 during the war in Yugoslavia. But it was not easy. I would go as far as to say that Zoltan Dani was a military genius for figuring out how to achieve what he achieved.

A repeat is quite unlikely though, as the US military is very good of learning lessons in war.

You are talking about low tech developing countries a long time ago (an eternity for tech), namely extremely uneven conflict.

That's why it is very important to assess the balance of a conflict on recent data in order to deploy the right equipment. Of course, there will be bluf, bad surprises, etc.

Not really. As everyone could see, Russia is still using tanks made 50 years ago.

I may be talking about old tech, but you are talking hypothetical tech. "I don't understand why anyone would invest in combat aircraft when this hypothetical tech could be developed by a peer nation and render the aircraft obsolete". Does that sum up the argument?

Well, I know with better source than HN that combat aircrafts are mostly useless due to "proper" air defence missiles.

But combat aircrafts are still usefull in uneven conflicts, namely when one side has really weak air defence, or even none. It is a similar issues with tanks.
