Air Supremacy (Was) White Supremacy
Air supremacy was White supremacy and it's gone now. Iran reaps the Reapers and Yemen Fs the F-15s. Russia imposes no-fly zones and China is a no-try zone entirely. Air power was scare power and who's scared now? It's the White Empire, really, hiding what it can't hide anymore. They have lost air supremacy.
Some History
As the White General (after they forced the last, literally Brown guy out) Dan Caine said, "We have to assume from now on that our formations will be hunted by autonomous systems, jammed across the spectrum and tracked in real time." This is all true, but still they lie to themselves. As the war criminal continued, "We must continue to ensure that the United States of America can strike anywhere on the globe at the time and place of our choosing and sustain that force." This is quite a maximalist goal, to kill anyone, anywhere, for as long as you want. White Empire in a gunshell.
Caine talks about "generating and delivering lethality at scale," which is longstanding American policy. They call this carpet bombing or strategic bombing, but it really just means massacring civilians. What they did with blankets and bullets on their own genocided continent, they did with bombs and nukes across every other inhabited landmass.
As former War Secretary Robert McNamara said, "Killing 50% to 90% of the people of 67 Japanese cities and then bombing them with two nuclear bombs is not proportional, in the minds of some people, to the objectives we were trying to achieve." But they did it anyways, continuing the policy across Indochina, West Asia, and wherever they pleased. This didn't win wars, but if you were in the bomb business, it certainly made money.
McNamara talked about his war crimes openly saying, "LeMay said, "If we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals." And I think he's right. He, and I'd say I, were behaving as war criminals. LeMay recognized that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost. But what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?" These are questions he could ask himself in documentary and not at trial before execution because that's your answer. The victors write the history, no great mystery there.
The point of this wanton violence was not winning wars (strategic bombing is a misnomer) nor was it taking land (carpet bombing is not meant to walk on) but simply to kill as many people as possible. In short, terrorism, if you can imagine that non-White people have feelings, as we do. Mass terror to get people to give up and, if and when it doesn't work, so what? The military industrial complex made money from every bomb. It's no accident that Robert McNamara came from Ford and the last Defence Secretary (ever) Lloyd Austin came from the arms dealer Raytheon. War is a racket, as the Empire's own minions confessed, but the buck stops here and now. War is a rocket now.
The Rocket Era
The 21st century is the age of rockets and drones, not fighter jets and bombs. Fighter planes with men riding them is an antiquated as knights on horseback. Still quite capable of terrorizing civilians but useless against modern weapons. And I want to repeat, the Empire does not possess modern weapons. They have no hypersonic missiles in the field, few stand-off missiles in the arsenal (HIMARs), and a bunch of gravity bombs jerry-rigged with guidance systems (JDAMs). They are using fighter jets to loft missiles from afar, which is a like putting a cannon on a horse. Works, I guess, but hardly fit for purpose. They're a 20th century military trying to fight 21st century wars. Being the most expensive military is hardly a measure of capability. It's really just a measure of corruption now.
The world they're still trying to conquer has surpassed them. First of all, China, Russia, Iran, and Yemen all have the decided advantage of not being empires at all. While America has to be a mobile strike force, required to "strike anywhere on the globe," the other side of the globe evolved to just defend their homes, which is a very different proposition. All of these countries don't have to start from expensive and vulnerable strike platforms that need to fight every sort of battle against every possible enemy. They can build one knife that works for them, not a Swiss Army Knife that must potentially stab everyone in the world. The Asian powers fight from and for their own land, and can focus only on what works for defending themselves from White Empire, which is a much narrower problem set.
As we get into details, we'll focus on the (South) West Asian powers here, Iran, Yemen, and the Axis of Resistance in general. Their militaries evolved under the harshest conditions and leap-frogged the fighter/jet era entirely to become masters of drone and rocket science.
Da Drones

I remember when drones were Whites only. When war criminal Hillary Clinton would say, about a journalist (Julian Assange), "Can't we just drone this guy?" and all the junior war criminals just laughed. I remember when their drones were the uninvited guest at so many weddings, leaving death where life should have begun. When the meme said "They say the next one will be sent by a woman... really makes you feel like you're part of history." When a 13-year old Pakistani boy would say, "I no longer love blue skies. In fact, I now prefer grey skies. The drones do not fly when the skies are grey," appealing to a White conscience that does not exist.

But now that's history. Drones have become democratized and the IEDs, as they say, fly now. We may see an Iranian Shahed drone on a flag one day, it's the AK-47 of our time, copied by Russians as the Geran, and (badly) by the Americans as the LUCAS. The first-person viewer (FPV) drone has also revolutionized war, and those parts are made in China and operated at close range to terrifying effect by groups like Hezbollah. Meanwhile American drones are generations old and show it.
The MQ-9 Reaper drone used to sow fear into newlyweds, but now it's being positively harvested by Iran and the Axis of Resistance. Air defenses have evolved as well, and – using terrain as well as technology – the Resistance is able to pluck them out of the sky seemingly at will. As of mid-August 2026 the White-Washington Post admitted that, "The U.S. military has lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones during the war with Iran, or roughly 25 percent of its fleet. The potential taxpayer cost [profit to the MIC] is over $1.3 billion." We are witnessing a literal fire-sale of the military industrial complex, everything must go, and it's never being replaced.
The White press tries to whitewash these losses saying "roughly a quarter of the Pentagon's Reaper drones have been used," as if these were one-way drones, but they ain't. These are the drones from the meme above, they were meant to keep droning death from above across administrations. But the Axis of Resistance has been devouring them.

45 Reapers met their reaper by August 15th, and I've been seeing five or so culled each week. I barely keep count anymore, it's becoming so regular. America has switched to using older MQ-1 drones because they simply don't have any more. I remember when drones were Whites-only, but now the natives are relentless, and have more, better drones of their own. In the autonomous air, nature is healing.
The Rockets

Nothing is Whiter than a fighter jet, like a modern knight on horseback, imbued with mystery but mostly mowing down peasantry. White fighters like the F-Xs of America or the self-explanatory Eurofighters define the category. Even Iran still flies American F-5s or F-15s. When Trump crows about destroying their Air Force this is what he means, but he misses the point that Iran has largely circumvented the entire category. They have an Aerospace Force, which is a different thing entirely.
The Axis of Resistance has mastered rocket science. This was a conscious decision led by martyrs engineers like Moghaddam and carried out by many martyrs after him. They made the strategic decision to leapfrog fighter jet technology entirely by jettisoning the human fighter and just delivering the missile directly. Iran started with some wobbly Scuds but – at the martyr Khamenei's exhortation – made them more and more accurate such that they can 'put a cruise missile up the ass of a camel,' as the Americans would threaten. Now it is Iran that has this power, and they have it in much larger quantities and with higher precision. This technology has been shared with Yemen and Palestine and Lebanon not as a business like the goy-locked stuff the Empire delivers but as actual technology transfer. Groups like Ansarallah and Hezbollah and even Hamas, from inside a concentration camp, can manufacture their own.
These rockets (along with drones) are fired, for the most part, from basic trucks that can quickly retreat underground. And they are stored in massive tunnel cities that cannot be even be nuked. Nukes can move civilians, but not mountains. These rockets do not threaten America at home (the martyr Khamenei basically range-locked them) but they can threaten American empire, as has been proven. The IRGC Aerospace Force cleared American bases in the Persian Gulf within about five days, and are clearing them from their Red Sea retreat now. Nature is healing and the natives have home-field advantage after five centuries of White occupation. Because they mastered rocket science.
Furthermore, air defenses, once another domain of White supremacy, have also evolved. Iran was able to hit F-35 and down F-15/16s. The White Air Force was scared to fly over Iran at all, resorting to stand-off weapons, which is not what you do when you have air supremacy. And now Yemen is hunting F-15s in the air and Eurofighters on the ground.
Fighter jets have their place, just as horses were still used in World War II, but their place is not to project power on the other side of the world anymore. Because the other side of the world would like a word. That era of air supremacy as White supremacy is over. The rocket scientists of West Asia have proven it.
Air Supremacy
Air supremacy is returning to where it belongs, to the land directly below. Aircraft and aircraft carriers are now expensive liabilities, vestiges of a lost century. The European incarnations of White Empire used naval power to gird the globe and the American incarnation used air power but now all they've got is scare power, the shadow of their failing Empire, still falling on children. The once great US Navy has been reduced to petty piracy and Air Force to pathetic terrorism. Kidnappings, assassinations, hospital bombings, and suicidal violence. That is, the weapons of the weak and desperate. The Whites don't control the air, they don't control the seas, and they certainly don't control the land anymore. All they control is the narrative, but those threads are rapidly unspooling if you look. Just see their vaunted air power in an underground Iranian museum, the rotted spoils of war.
Iran has unveiled a large collection of US & Israeli aircraft & UAV wreckage recovered during the recent war, displayed inside an underground IRGC Aerospace Force air-defense base. Among them are wreckage from MQ-9 Reapers, Hermes 900s, Hermes 450s, alongside an MQ-9 identified with serial number 261. Iran also displayed the remains of a US F-15 shot down on April 3.
