Plus aircraft still have mechanical redundancies that the pilot can control in case the electronics are shot or knocked offline. Just because you knock out the electrical systems on a jet doesn’t mean it’ll instantly fall out of the sky, a pilot can still read physical maps, and fly a plane without autopilot assists.

Even if you neutralize every single jet, tank, and ship in the US military, instantly through some miracle, how are you going to neutralize MIRVS?

Assuming that B*eing didn't win the contract for the mechanical failsafe bit.

Don't you dare disrespect our comrades at Boeing and Northupp Grumman!

They have downed and sabotaged countless aircraft. How many war machines have you destroyed?
