Kanwer Vikram the F-35 was such a poor example it’s all a mix of Government corruption, bureaucracy and over dependence ya could have used the F-117 something that was successful

[@Frikciya]

@Jeff Clark Well, don't want to argue about who has better equipment, but i disagree that america owned or owns aviation business. Maybe, it did in 90-00s, because Soviet Union died. Whatever. I'm writing this comment, because you underestimate soviet intelligence services. As West, as East would know about each others top secret stuff, from the moment that stuff left the engineering section and went to production. Even if we are talking about building small serial prototypes. So f117 wasn't such shoking discovery. Now, you can't even imagine how many perspective, i dare to say, revolutionary projects were buried when Soviet Union was killed. Killed by that famous reformer,Gorbachev, and his team. So his words 'we lost' was de-facto his plan.

[@Frikciya]

@Jeff Clark Surely, I understand that goverment won't tell me the truth through mass media. But again, my family has a huge military experience. Inside Army, Air Force and military industrial complex. And from their experience, from all info available to me ( like enthernet, books, reports and etc.) I'm judging that americans didn't dominate in avionics, so did the soviets. I know that there were some directions, where one country was better than other. But if we look overall we can't say that USA or USSR was leader. It's like compare planes, without counting the doctrine they were build under. Like key on speed and usefull thrust-weight ratio or key on supermaneuverability. Maybe i didn't understand your words proparly? I wrote you, because you said that USA owned the business. That was the first reason. Second, F-117 shock and Gorbachev theme. Talking about F-117 again, from what i, or more correctly, my relatives, inside the miitary, know, F-117 didn't make such crazy terror as you said. Yeah, it was something new and unseen, yeah, there were dozens of rumors about it, but still it wasn't something sudden for everyone. Ooh, you shouldn't have mentioned T-95. My father worked for Uralvagonzavod. He worked in crew, that was testing gun - 2A83 and fire controll systems. As he regarded, project was raw, but it was 100 % a step forward. And as he used to say, they would put him in service, 7-10 years from start of the program, if goverment would have invested properly and had intrest in it. P.S. Sorry for my bad english and punctuation, I used it, as we use it in russian.

[@Frikciya]

@Jeff Clark Hello, 1) where is t 95? In the same place where USSR is... in history. Country was destroyed, new born Russia didn't need costly projects. People inside the goverment didn't need Russia to have perspective stuff. T-14 has gained some details from t 95, so we can say that its his inheritor. 2) Ok, my fault. By using words like 'terror' and etc. I wanted to emphasize how huge the surprise was for soviets, as you say. 3) Well, russians aren't so soft. But it's easy to get in anger when you know the truth. But whatever you do, you can't pass it to anyone. Especially americans. 4) Nice photos.

what do you mean? Any flagship piece of equipment is vulnerable depending on the circumstances, bunch of damaged and shot down KA-52s and SU-25s was an expected outcome, they still achieved their goal of air supremacy and destroyed the capacities of the Ukrainian air force. Ffs Yugoslav army during the Kosovo war managed to snatch a few shots on the 2 apache helicopters and crippled their usage during that war, during Bosnian war Serbs shot down F16s and Harriers with stingers and scored the kill on F117 in 99 with the obsolete S-125 which in no means discredited the NATO's air supremacy and air domination just like this shit happening there is no way to discredit the Russian air force, but I guess to each their own holds a higher value.

[@chootanf]

@@mightymo897 while they did succeed in that area of "crippling down Ukraine's Air Force", they still lacked air supremacy because of the Western-supplied Ukrainian air defense that managed to secure most Ukrainian regions from Russian aircraft.

I mean it's still funny, russia doesn't have the maintenance to deploy enough of their planes, but ukraine does have an airforce and it's got better planes then most countries.

[@BlackWolf9988]

Ukraine gets western help and it had 8 years to prepare. russia does have air superiority but they cant use it to its full extend because stuff like MANPADS are a thing, even the US would have problems with the amount of ground AA. Its mostly a drone battle anyway, both sides spot their targets with drones first and then bomb the area with artillery. Or what the russians are doing now, bombing infrastructure with drones.

You should do another one of these but them all getting smacked by Ukrainian anti air weaponry.

[@robotdude4377]

Bold of you to assume that Ukrainian equipment is different from the Russian... Not that it would cause one side to draw big ''Z''s or ''V''s on their vehicles you know. That proves the Russian side is lacking funds or support from their government towards the war and Ukrainians are not.

[@beltempest4448]

@@robotdude4377 I didn’t assume anything about the difference between Ukrainian and Russian equipment. There is however a lot more footage of Russian aircraft getting clapped than Ukrainian ones. Why would the Russian government invade Ukraine and not support their forces. It would seem to me that the mistakes being made are the cause of poor leadership and training as well as an intelligence service who are too either incompetent (which I doubt) or were worried to tell their superiors anything they didn’t want to hear

[@robotdude4377]

@@beltempest4448 Russians didn't aim for a full-blown war. They just wanted to scare the Ukraine so that Luhansk and Donetsk would be free (that means Russian satellites irl.) But when Ukraine standed their ground and really made them lose a lot, they were unable to do their best because of international support towards Ukraine. Their equipment is rusting because leadership does not fund them enough. Why they are not supporting their units? They didn't aim for a full scale war. They just wanted to scare off them and get some benefits. Ukrainian Anti air capabilities are the same but smaller in size. Also, they seem to hunt enemy jets with interceptor aircraft instead of land AA. Those jets are probably the best keeped ones in their armed forces. Even with rusting equipments, (with a lot of them) they could *maybe* commence a good combined arms tactic like they did at south of the frontline. Russians did a not bad job there. They are avoiding what did Soviets wrong. Spending all their money on weapons.
