And why would they launch more fighters when they always

have a CAP
overhead?


The CAP flies a 200 mile radius, it's not overhead.



It flies underhead?


At 200 miles they are over the horizon and below you.




It is silly to try and use million dollar missiles to

knock a large toy RC
plane out of the sky. The Bismarck was sunk by biplanes

because the gun
directors on the Bismarck were not calibrated for such

slow flying planes.
Will history repeat itself?



Iran has biplanes?


No, just toy airplanes with the capability to fly undetected over American
aircraft carriers for 20 minutes and then evade aircraft without getting
shot down.
