It may be said that warfare has acquired a new phase – technological war. In the past, research and development were only preparation for the final and decisive testing of new systems in battle. Today the kind and quality of systems which a nation develops can decide the battle in advance and make the final conflict a mere formality or can bypass conflict altogether.

New conditions require, new solutions new weapons and imaginative methods for maximum application. New Wars are never won in the past.

An air force is always verging on obsolescence and, in time of peace, its size and replacement rate will always be inadequate to meet the full demands of war.

– Hap Arnold
Have a plan A & have a plan B – More important
