    Missiles also did not have 100 miles range 20 years ago.

    Somewhat missing then point there I feel.

    They are right, I was thinking the exact same thing when I read the headline, aircraft don’t really engage in dog fights anymore. It’s all missiles and long-range combat. I don’t think any modern war would involve aircraft shooting at each other with bullets.
