    Most (including US) current generation weapons systems have been untested.

    Hasn’t a lot of it been tested in Ukraine and Gaza? That’s part of why Israel is useful for the West; they get to test their shiny new toys.

    In other words, using qualifiers like inferior or superior for literally untested weapons(and yes, weapons are untested until used against an enemy) Is purely a faith/propaganda thing.

    This makes sense in a conflict between equals, but for example Hezbollah literally doesn’t have an air force. Which makes sense because they’re a paramilitary organization, but like yeah it’s not really a question who’s outgunning who here. Hezbollah, and Russian aligned countries in general, primarily use old Soviet models which were at best on equal footing with contemporary Western models. Meanwhile the IDF is one of the most modern armies in the world, only being manned by morons.

    If you need more proof that Hezbollah is outgunned here, then look at the state of Southern Lebanon compared to Northern Israel.
