Combat readiness of aircraft of the Air Force (Air Force) The US has declined. Their condition is reported by 19FortyFive with reference to a report published in Air Force Magazine.

The publication emphasizes that only one of the eight types of combat aircraft of the US Air Force has increased the level of combat readiness — the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft, up to 72.54 percent.

The author drew attention to the decreased share of fifth-generation aircraft ready to perform tasks. The readiness level of the F-22 Raptor was 50.81 percent, and the readiness of the F-35A decreased to 68.8 percent. 19FortyFive emphasizes that in the event of a conflict with Russia or China, the US Air Force will have to use aging aircraft and a limited number of fifth-generation fighters.

The US Air Force uses the concepts of combat readiness and full combat readiness. Fully combat-ready aircraft are considered to be capable of performing all tasks designed for this type of aircraft. If the aircraft can perform at least one task, it is considered combat ready. This indicator was taken into account in the Air Force Magazine report.

Earlier, Russia described a way to destroy F-35 Lightning II fighters. It was noted that refueling in the air deprives stealth aircraft of the advantages of stealth.
