> I think that the “recharging” will always be a vulnerable stage and that the objective is to do that puntually and not a continuous dependence on power supply, For an electric recharge I think you need a decent size infrastucture that you cannot move that much or easily. I don't think that you can do with a enourmous power bank mounted on a truck. > but still seems safer and easier to abort than the one done currently with non electric planes, Except that you can refuel a normal plane with just a couple of trucks and a strip of road long enough (Sweden built the Viggen around this principle and even the US has the highway designed to work as temporary airfield by some old law). While it is easy to hit an airport, it became a lot harder to take out all the roads (in part because you will later need them) > and for defense patrolling you will have more important infrastructures that would be targeted first, I still see only advantages if mature enough Yes, the charging station. Once I take out it, you electric planes are out of order. No more patrolling.
