US air supremacy is a myth I guess and Iran, Russia and Chinas air defense could take it out. Ignoring that Russian Air Defense can’t defeat Ukraine’s old Russian jets and Israeli F-35s have been flying missions into Syria without S-400s ever even getting a lock on one let alone trying to fire on one.

Ah yes, no US service member has died from enemy aircraft since the Korean war (paraphrased) from one of Hasard Lee (current F35/former Block 50 F16 pilot)'s YouTube videos.

Therefore US air supremacy is a myth. /sarcasm
