Aerospace

Let’s compare some air supremacy capabilities


(Source: International Institute for Strategic Studies, “The Military Balance 2019”)
“Air power may either end war or end civilization.”
Major world powers are competing for aerospace dominance. China, Russia and the United States are designing and developing next-generation bombers; France and India are each considering developing weapons capable of hypersonic speed; and the United Kingdom is presently arming its Royal Air Force with the Meteor air-to-air missile, which its manufacturer touts as being able to neutralize fighter jets, drones and cruise missiles.
Winston Churchill’s words from a speech in March 1933 may prove just as true today.
