You’re right and it does. The air dog-fight scenes are absolutely top-notch and intense

It’s basically them trying to fight in old planes against 5th generation hi-tech planes and being completely out-geared by enemy tech (which is a bit unbelievable for the USA but like you said it isn’t a cerebral movie). Also having to do what almost seems like a suicide mission considering the amount of anti-aircraft missiles the enemy has

It isn't as unbelievable as you might assume. The F-22 is pushing near to thirty year old tech at this point, the F-18E family was never intended to be especially forward-looking*, and the F-35 isn't really a fighter in any conventional sense of the word, it's more akin to a modern version of the 60's era F-105. There is in fact a real threat of some other air forces matching or surpassing the U.S. in some areas in coming years.

*The F-18E originated as something of an emergency stopgap because during the 90's several different families of Navy aircraft were fast approaching the end of their fatigue lifespans with no replacement funded or planned. Hence the Navy needed planes, it needed them fast and cheap-ish, and it needed them to be able to do several jobs tolerably well. The F-18E exceeded all expectations and proved a rousing success, but it was still really meant as a gap-filler, not the next word in technological development.

Mandala effect that bothers me is when you say this to your friend:

"Haha I know, like the way you like ______."

And they go, "I dont like _______."

And you go, "yes you do, you specifically said 'I like ________." like 6 months ago.

And they go, "I have never said that, I dont agree with that at all."

No they are not idiot friends gaslighting me, this is the mandala effect!

There was a bunch of popular books about this then it died off.

I believe it.
