Holy shit that’s a bad take. Who has hypersonics, is it the west yes or no?

Was it the west that lagged behind in material sciences and failed to realize titanium welding could be a game changer in submarine technology?

Who is it that has been recently and repeatedly proven to lag behind in anti-air solutions? Kinda one of the most important parts of modern war (even artillery plays second fiddle if it has to fear air superiority).

Supposed western tech superiority only has a single shining example in GPS being unveiled during Iraq and only the collapse of the USSR is why they didn’t get there on an equivalent time frame. They won every part of the space race except the moon, and are still the one and only for Venus among other accomplishments.
