The Russians are putting their air frames through it to a point but they have the new SU-57 coming into service now and most of their aircraft basically take off, drop a glide bomb and land. They are not facing any real combat with a peer adversary. The F-16s they Ukraine are getting are hardly the newest airframes either but are hopefully better maintained.
And here we see the failure of the west. When we had to really step up and face Putin down, we again failed. Too busy getting caught up in internal politics, facing outright Russian sympathisers and a general unwillingness to accept some hardship to assist another nation against Russia has all been brought to the fore. Putin now knows the west doesn't have the stomach to stop him. We are setting such a bad ******* precedent here for all those expansionist dictatorships around the world. We can't be motivated to stop it happening right on our doorstep so why would we defend say Taiwan if China invades?![]()

Hell we don't even have to send our own troops to Ukraine, we just had to ensure they were kept supplied and we couldn't even do that. The industrial power of Europe eclipses that of Russia and we could outproduce them if we wanted...
