underestimating U.S. air power.

As I scroll through the board Ive noticed something.
Do many foreign militaries really believe some of the things that are posted here? things like :

* stealth is obsolete?
* the U.S. will be a ineffective air power in a few years?
* The U.S. has never fought a credible opponent?
* The F-22 is worthless*
* the Rafale and typhoon are in the same generation as the F-35*

Wouldn’t it be a huge advantage if a hostile enemy had a total disregard for U.S. air power? isn’t this attitude the same one usually found in a bungling dictatorship after they have been pounded with rolling air strikes?
Examples:

* 1989 in the Gulf of Sydra, Libyan mig pilots are clueless of there disadvantages versus the Tomcat
* Serbian Mig-29 pilots shot down by F-16s.
*Iraq and Saddam Hussein underestimating the advantage of the F-117 and U.S. fighter in general during the 1st GW.
* Iraq trying to use Russian GPS jammers to jam U.S. smart weapons. The jammers where killed by GPs guided bomds.
* Ill even throw in how the iraqis thought that The U.S. would be afraid to use urban warfare In GW 2*

I’m i would really like it personally if the Chinese had no respect for U.S. tech or air power, and sent 20 Sukkoi fighters at 20 F-22 raptors during a Taiwan flare up.

has it been a tremendous atvantage
