GCI can be effective if AWACS is offline. Stealth would be the better choice.

It'll just be about volume. Drones will be used so much it won't matter if you know they're coming, you won't be able to target them all. 1,000 drones can be fielded for the same cost of 1-2 missiles.

Sat tracking will make future plane warfare incredibly dangerous without first knocking out satcoms.

stealth jet beats awacs

>in modern infantry battle is having rifles or ammo more more decisive
You need both, without AWACs the stealth planes need to use their own radar giving themselves away.

The first shots of WWIII will be ASAT weapons Anon.

Even without getting into kinetic solutions, I do wonder how effective satellite based sensors will be when they are constantly getting jammed or dazzled by ground stations that are placed dozens if not hundreds of km from the frontline. AWACS has its own vulnerabilities, but at the very least anything that wants to use EW against an AWACS bird has to be close enough to be at risk from other assets simply due to the earth's horizon forcing a degree of proximity.

Consider this following: Stealth AWAC

The future will actually be something similar to endgame honorverse space combat.

>volume AND technological supremacy reign supreme
>drone/missile spam with autonomous ecm/eccm/targeting drone/missiles mixed in

This is the next paradigm shift, which will only be superseded by magic-like physics-altering energy weapons, e.g. a first small step towards Culture level matter and energy manipulation.

The stealth fighters can passively detect the AWACS and destroy them.

>>65082803
How do the stealth fighters locate enemy fighters without a friendly AWACS to look for them?
That is my point.
