If, for example, we had gone down the same path that the world went down

You mostly see that the world, East and West, went after airplanes

For what they call deterrence, you would go after airplanes

If we had gone down the path that the world took

Now the world has reached, say, fifth-generation aircraft

If we had wanted to follow exactly that same path they took

We would probably still be struggling with third-generation, trying to move forward

What does that mean? It means whatever we did, we would be behind them

We would have had a huge gap, but the fact is that we came and

chose a path so that instead of moving behind the enemy

and still not catching up with them, we chose a path that now has put us facing them

That is, it is true that in these years we have seen sanctions

We pursued sanctions, we pursued the capability so that, for example

we could respond to the sanctions, but in many cases

at least in this last decade, we have moved in a goal-oriented way

Meaning we have been after issues, after equipment, after capabilities

That from this one point, in fact, we can achieve success in Tabani

that will render all of the enemy’s capabilities ineffective
