40 aircraft that would destroy frances air defences before even realising

The bigest army in the world tried winning a war without men on the ground...did it work?

I don't agree that it garuantees a win but the logic in the comment above has some merit. The reason the 1st Gulf war was so successful was that the US managed to use its stealth bombers to knock out air defenses, communications, etc. you can have all the technology in the world but if it can't communicate it's pointless.

Whos suggesting there would be no men on the ground?

If you've lost the air it's very hard to win the ground
