Personally, I am glad to see the UK taking this seriously. I speak as one who, as a recent civvy, introduced pilots of a former Soviet-ruled state to the NATO way of operating - with approval from UK Gov. I was amazed at how bad and sclerotic the Soviet air defence tactics were when I started working with them. For instance, they couldn’t see the point of having a wingman in a fight because they got in the way! It took me beating their CO in 1v1 doggers to make them take me seriously. Luckily, he managed to recover from the spin by only 3000’ below base-height!
Admittedly things will have moved on a bit from there but I am still quite sure that our oriental friends are decades behind modern Western thinking, when it comes to employing air power - and I believe that we should endeavour to keep it that way.
