>Could mercenaries work in naval or air war?
It's do-able but the most realistic scenario is anti-poaching ops for poor countries. Sea Shepherd with guns basically. I know some African countries have hired mercernaries for this but it'd be, like, one South African guy with a speed boat and a machine gun who'd speed up to a Chinese fishing boat illegally poaching in their waters, aim the gun, and they leave.
