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.
