1. Cessnas. Combat cessnas and about two dozen propeller driven A-29s.

They "captured" (we abandoned) 23 A-29 attack planes, and 33 militarized versions of the Cessna Caravan. With no replacement parts. The A-29 has a cruise speed of 320 mph and a range of 830 miles, if it has the extra fuel tank in place of any armament. For comparison, our unmanned Reaper drones can do 1,200 miles at about the same speed carrying four Hellfire missiles. If this flying jalopy gets anywhere near threat range to any American interests, how quickly do you think we could take it out?

"[S]uffice to say that the technology that’s in the A-29 is not cutting-edge technology,” [Gen. Mark Kelly said]. “When you look at the airplane’s range and speed and computer power and lifting capability … it’s not something that, frankly, concerns us.”
