> I guess my definition is “US can do whatever it wants without contest” and that seems to be the case here.

Whatever it wants, as long as that doesn't include flying aircraft or going through the strait.

I would term it; the US has air dominance but the airspace is still contested as evident by the recent losses.

Also, I think the US is still predominantly using standoff munitions instead of switching to dumb munitions because the airspace is still contested.
