I sense a little bit of the old white-scarf-and-Brylcreem-wot-do-they-ever-do-for-Tommy-Atkins coming through here.
But what can go from a standing start to anywhere in a 600 mile circle inside an hour, whether or not the natives are cooperating, ID the good guys and the bad guys, and place ordnance within 5-10 metres of the latter, all on its own and without breaking a sweat? (Hint: it's not a helicopter or a tank.)
What can cover the same kind of distance and then launch a missile that will defeat the toughest air defenses and nail the President's dunny? (Hint: it's not a frigate.)
And do self-escorted ISR, given the appropriate pod? (Hint: it's not a drone.)
And what are the longest-serving weapon systems in most countries? (Hint: they're not warships.)
Yes. Fighters are toys.
