"When Russia or China looked at the US Air Force 30 years ago, before and after the storm in the desert, they simply did not want to approach. It was not the potential that I would like to deny," Kelly said. According to him, the reason for this behavior is that not only US fighters become older and become less, but also because both China and Russia are investing considerable funds in their air fleets.
Kelly added that Russians and Chinese want to check at what distance they can detect American fighters and "want to train", getting closer and closer to F-22, F-35, F-16 and other aircraft. "They say," Hey, know what? They no longer have the potential and opportunities they had 30 years ago. Maybe it's time to repel them, "Kelly says.
According to General, no one should be surprised that the Russians encountered MQ-9 because it does not intersect the" red line "when it comes to deprivation of a person's life or creation threats of her life. However, the situation will be complicated when the US Air Force begins to send drones to the task together with manned planes. Meanwhile, it is not known how they will do in the Pentagon in the event of exacerbation of opponents, if threats to the lives of pilots still take place.
