" In WW2 Germany had qualitative edge in its tanks etc. but was eventually outgunned by the sheer number of opponents...Initially Germans were too much for the Russians but eventually despite having the most prolific strategists and tacticians on the Russian front (Manstein, Guderian, Hoth etc...) they could not overcome the sheer numbers thrown at them"---quote from allgreen.
Hi,
It is not as simple as that-----it was the american indutial production power that won them the war----the german production lines were under fire but the u s production line was far far away......
In india pakistan scenario or otherwise as well---there will be other issues involved---the effect of seeing your partners---colleagues---course mates and others being shot up without firing a shot---without getting in the range to engage the elusive enemy---time and again---the enemy comes and goed at will---uses its extra reach and takes off and hides in the far horizon---will prove to be devastating on the morale of the fighting men.
Today----the designers of F 22 raptor are realizing that they made a mistake in installing a gun in the raptor---it has taken so much room and added weigght that other items could have been installed---now you guys would say---what are talking about----guess what ---the missiles of today are so deadly and advanced that it will take a tremendous amount of fortune and luck to escape them----secondly---the raptor was designed to hit and run----this was no close combat aircraft---so the technology has reached to such a stage that the USAF maynot want to be in close combat anymore.
Case in point again----M1A1 tank---if you can't touch it---you can't hurt it---it still has around 1500 meters at the max asdvantage over other tanks before they get to it and even then the 125 mm anti tank round maynot be enough to kill the M1A1.
No sirs----with the present day technology---once you cross over the minimum numbers threshold and you have room to manouver---quality will always overcome quantity. It will be just like shooting ducks in a gallery.
