Yeah, it will do a "bang up" job of suppressing the North Korean, Iranian, Al Queda and Taliban air forces. It may also be useful if the Kligons attack.
If we go to war with Russia or China air superiority won't matter for long; the nuclear tipped ICBMs will arrive on the scene far sooner that any jet fighter.

The NORKS and Iranians both have large pretty capable airforces.
