What I'm waiting for is the return of propeller-powered air-superiority fighters with machine guns.
They have that already. Ukraine has been fighting Shaheds and the like with propeller planes.
Tbh all you need is an old AN-2 and a dude with a browning.50 braced on the doorsill as you fly by the shaheds

A-10 Warthog enthusiasts are salivating.
Look, first off, this is her war. Soviet tanks out of mothballs, massed up and ready for the BBRRRRRR. But second, with some modern ECM, and explosive rounds, she could trounce every drone.
I'm an A10 enthusiast but I feel like it's the wrong tool for the drone job.
Soviet tanks though 🤤
It also doesn't do well with modern SAM, so you'd have to have more modern jets run SEAD for them to get in and do their job, but all those modern jets are also easily capable of anti tank bombing.
I know… but I loveses them buzzing little flying pigs.
