It's strange, but since these questions come up regularly, I'll note: I'm being asked what to expect from Russia, given that approximately 800 units of aviation equipment are concentrated on our borders.
The criterion of “quality” is the bottom
I will say this. Nothing. Russian aviation today is a cowardly bottom. The bottom, consisting of pilots who have experience, but abstract from flying into the airspace of Ukraine, and pilots who fly into the airspace of Ukraine, because they urgently need to pay a mortgage, a loan, and because they are a graduate of a flight school who imagines himself to be a bitmin .
The Russian aviation does not have enough missile aviation weapons to carry out shelling of the territory of Ukraine without harming the crews. What is? There are bombs. Oh-oh-oh-a lot of bombs. But in order to strike with bombs, you need to enter the airspace of Ukraine.
Any entry into the airspace of Ukraine by Russian aircraft ends in humiliation for it. Through layered air defense or MANPADS calculation – it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that they do not know where and from whom it will arrive.
They do not know whether they should now keep the maximum speed in height, or switch to LOWPASS. They are on their nerves, losing a kilogram of weight in half an hour.
Six months that broke the myth
Today, the Russian so-called military space forces are powerless and bottomless. Leveled and canceled by Ukraine. That in matters of the military-industrial complex, that in matters of aces. In just six months. That's it.
Don't be afraid of those 800 aircraft at our borders. They were February 24th. They are there even now. But feel the difference. Do you feel? That's all. At our borders there are not 800 units of aviation equipment of the “second” army in the world. At our borders – 800 pieces of scrap of opustniks.
