Actually i'm not American i'm British, and as long as our Ballistic Submarines are quieter and technologically superior to any antiquated Russian designs I imagine we are quite safe from any Russian sabre waving in our direction.

They don't need a fighter that can go toe to toe all they need is a missile that can do it and something to get it within range and job done and you don't need to spend billions on development

Sorry, how many Submarines has the United Kingdom lost in comparison to the Soviet Union outside of armed conflict? LoL
Even the mighty USA plays catch up in some respects to British submariners and their respective boats!

Even if we do enter another cold war, Russia will still be playing catch up, they can't even drill for Oil without using our patents. What chance do you think they have of even developing a 5 generation aircraft that rivals our F-22/F-35s?
Slim to none would be my answer.

The mathematical formula that allowed them to calculate RCS which directly led to the F-117 came from a Russian. Without it they couldn't have built it.
