Every single way you conceive of war is wrong. Mobility>Firepower and guns are only localized suppressive Fire.

The only use for firepower in this day and age is to pin the enemy while you close.

>Muh Marksmun
>Muh Riflemun

Jominites keep complaining about bullets being to " weak" when ammo is just meant to pin troops while you maneuver and close.

bullets are only useful for keeping the enemy in one place while you wait for a plane/drone/artillery to fuck their shit up.

As a general rule, dead people and destroyed vehicles are bad a maneuvering. So making the enemy a pile of ash always a good thing to do.

If mobility was, as you say, superior to firepower, how come soldiers can't outrun bullets and shells?

Nigga my planefu is the YF-23, at least that thing was actually superior in some aspects to the F-22.
The Valkyrie was only good for NASA experiments and getting rear ended by Starfighters.
>>
>>1033402
It was better than the plane it was meant to replace. And having a supersonic heavy bomber can come in handy one day.

Post YF23 pics, pls... for research.

Actually you need both.

Mobilty means jack shit if your bullets can't penetrate your opponent's armor.

And you still have to make the other guy dead. Bullets are pretty good in places you can't call in an airstrike/artillery barrage/Attack Chopper support/tanks/dronestrikes/shitposting army.

It cannot carry the B61, which is the current tactical nuclear weapon of the US.
Neither can the F-22, although the F-35 is capable of carrying it.

Who?

Also, bullets often are meant to pin the enemy so that artillery can take them out.

Even then, it depends on the war. A total war between two well organized nations is different from an ethnoc conflict is different from and American war where you attack a weak country to create demand for cruise missiles.
