Yes and no. I get the point and internal logic behind long range air operations against a certain country.

However I currently am doubting if the time for such operations isn’t over in general. As we currently observe in Ukraine it seems much more logic to saturate the enemies air defense with cheap drones and use said drones coupled with long range cruise missiles to strike hostile production capacities.

However I recon this is just my opinion and a country’s military consists of many different actors, some of whom may share similar views while others may disagree—each with good reasons.
