"We should begin producing F86 sabre esque jets. Much cheaper, and you can swarm the skies with them, and the cost to shoot them down vs the cost to build more would debt the country shooting them down."
Personally, I've always had a dream of building extremely cheap wooden UAVs with a gun strapped onto them for like $10,000 each, you could just build a couple thousand of them and the enemy would just run out of anti-air missiles and flak, and spend more money trying to shoot them down than you did building them. And in the end you've only spent a couple million and none of your guys die.
And I like the F86 idea, but the public would rage if the planes were manned. |
