By the way things are going and the massive amount of copium in these middle east conflicts , i think more likely engine or mechanical failure or running out of fuel.
Stealth fighters are not magic weapons. They are just normal planes with slightly more shaping to deflect away some (NOT ALL) radar waves. They just ensure you are detected at much smaller ranges. Superior tactics, numbers or terrain can and will take down a lot of stealth planes.

Several pages ago, but China is also not spending 1.5% of its GDP on the military.

China outproduces the USA in naval and possibly aerial military production. Its military budget is only 30% America's. I took a quick and probably inaccurate look at J-10 and F-16 cost. The J-10 costs ~$45 million and the F-16 costs ~$65 million. You don't spend 3x less and get equivalent production if your jet is only ~30% cheaper.

The Soviet Union also stated it spent 2.5-3% of its GDP on its military throughout the Cold War.
Also far outstrips the US in procurement of military ground vehicles.

From air defense, rockets, artillery to tanks, ifvs etc.

God damn spoil sports! Genocide is one thing, but this is going too far!

These days i tend to only believe something happend if AMK confirms it - over the years ive unfollowed so many that spread untruths, and i hate falling for it (as if i wasnt already miserable enough)

Why are they taking a page out of the Jai Hind book?
