It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Interesting, what exactly quantifies the power level of an air force? Number of planes? Lack of susceptibility to drone or doohickey attack? Ability to fly when wind or rain exists? Budget?
It's always budget. More expensive plane = more better.
Well, those top three rankings stay the same if you use both # of planes and budget. Most planes have very little to worry about in terms of drones, unless they are on the ground. The US just has really big and theoretically effective air power. Also, what Shrike502 said.
Fighter jets are only even "flight-ready" between ½ and ⅔ of the time, but are not flying anywhere close to that. They're also extremely expensive and easy to target when grounded.
We're at a point in asymmetric warfare where a handful of drones could visibly sink an entire carrier fleet. We'll see how much longer that "air superiority" matters, I guess
