anyone want to take a guess why we are having to scramble F-22s to take out high altitude threats
and not shooting them down with our ground based missile defense systems?
good to know that in the event of a real war we have to wait to give orders from Biden, to Trudeau, to the Air Force Commander at Elmendorf, to NORAD to scramble planes and wait 15 minutes for them to reach altitude and range.
because in real life, incoming enemy munitions are just going to wait around for us to get our act together.
An F-22 sortie and an AIM-9 is a lot cheaper than a missile that probably isn't even covering whatever part of Canadian airspace this thing was
