It's all mostly political posturing these days.
Human pilot brains don't function at 9-12Gs and nothing will fix that.
Any and all senors can be disrupted by multiple means. Even pre-installed to trigger from early infiltration. Flying blind is just that.
Gen5 fighters will do the trick but they have to be close enough to the target.
Aircraft carriers are slow and massive targets for excoset type anti-ship pew-pew from a base.
Or just a plain old flu. "Oops we did that?"
Any base or military structure is vulnerable to human infiltration, electronic sabotage, and now hardened nano-bot swarms which might release incapacitating agents.
Or from satellite-based laser or missiles.
Or just mandatory low-IQ hires without morals willing to destroy their own country...
And satellites are vulnerable to other satellites or ground-based missiles.
No vertical F-15 needed.
But, of course, a hyper-sonic stealth nuclear cruise missile takes out everything.
