And the Commander, a Vietnam Vet, just shot down the entire PLAAF air superiority nonsense. Crobato is a great tech guy. Doctrine wise, not so good.
The Commander is echoing what I've been saying for yeas. The PLAAF has never flown beyond the sight of land. Until they do so in numbers, I have absolutely no confidence that they won't be swimming with the fish, not because the RoCAF is that good, but because they will get lost.
