' Wrote:Look up the Korean War with the Super Sabres, no guns, just missiles. You'll notice that the missiles are useless up close and the MiG pilots were trained I believe to get in close to take advantage of the major flaw. The Super Sabres were excellent at getting into combat and from theatre to theatre quickly, great overall speed, sadly their agility was a bit lacklustre, meaning they were usually doomed up close.
The Korean War was 50 years ago. Not "modern" by any stretch of the imagination.
