How about American Air Power? We do very well in that department. And we still have a lot of older aircraft stored out in the Nevada desert.
For that you need absolute air superiority, some thing neither side has in The Ukraine.
A report yesterday, I did not check the details, said the Air Force is going retire the A-10s, so the grunts are losing a true air support tank killer.
A short explanation of the "combined arms" concept, which the US and allies have developed to to a remarkable degree.
Russia doesn't seem to have grasped the concept, perhaps because there is still much rivalry among the branches of service there.
We, the US, on the other hand, cross train between the branches. Regular troops competing with regular troops, and Special Operations troops with other Special Ops troops.
My grandson was MARSOC (Marine, special operations capable) at various times, he cross trained with Rangers, Green Berets and Seals etc.
He trained in advanced 6weapons repair at Aberdeen Proving ground..an Army post.
Dogs and the handlers to match them, are mostly trained at Lackland air base in San Antonio.. "Enemy villages"
set up at FT Polk, where Army and Marines trained, etc..
Combined arms is how all the elements come together in the theater of operations.. Air power supporting ground power, and where needed, naval power joining in, none looking for 'glory' at the expense of others.
