Are these swarms of LO cruise missiles with embedded EW of some kind going to be air launched? If so then wouldn't it be best to strap them to LO aircraft which could be used on the other days of the war when those parts of the IADS that survived the opening salvo were still around?
Even if you dispute the need for LO aircraft one assumes most on this forum would support a Gen 4 delivery device - which would have to be kept in service alongside the LO CM stockpile. Sounds expensive.
I wonder what plan B would be in these situations?
'LO CMs haven't brought the diplomatic response we were hoping for Sir and whilst we have degraded the IADS we haven't rolled it back to the extent that Gen 4 can cope with.'
'In that case my boy, send in Gen 5!'
'We didn't buy any of those Sir, we thought a Gen 4, drone mix plus CMs would crack it'
'Awesome, let's go home.'
