I don't claim to be an aviation expert, but I've seen a low, slow and quiet triangle up close. From my stance, that sighting trumps anything any aviation expert or enthusiast can attempt to tell me about where we stand in the development of our weapons.

So yes the 15, 16, 18, etc are still good enough for whatever's needed today and well into tomorrow.
I also strongly believe in the concept than even extremely obsolete weaponry remains viable in limited conditions. For example an ancient sword or axe will easily maim or kill anyone of us.
