Which is the beauty of a coalition - not everyone has to have every bit of every capability. Maybe they can lend us some tankers
So as a nation we can only provide land based air with some help from other nations to get our jets from a different country, if they'll let us in, to the threat area.

Pretty impressive.

Or we can stick with the plan to have our two new carriers and, having built a corps of experience with the USN actually have an actual multirole aircraft capable of deploying from land and sea.
