  1. No The Serbian forces had to go through considerable effort to get that kill whereas Ukraine forces are just doing point and shoot They fired over 800 missiles at NATO aircraft across 78 days and only bagged 5 planes Russia has lost over 30 in less than month and the Ukraine forces main weapon is MANPADS

  2. No Russia never got with the program with upgrading their aircraft and it shows US spent a fortune after Vietnam due to considerable losses they took to developed precision technology which paid major dividends in the Gulf and later conflicts They have targeting pods which allow them to attack targets from 10 plus miles away and bombs able to travel that fact The US continued advanced both targeting pods and precision munitions Russia on the other hand did none of the above Russia relies heavily on missiles. Their missiles have advanced but the bomb technology stagnated. The KAB-series are still EO/SAL The GLONASS guided KAB -SE didnt come till decades later US bombs are SAL/GPS with advanced INS to deal with GPS denial. The newer SDB I/II are far more advanced than anything Russia has Even now JDAMs have powered versions under consideration whereas the KAB series ??? In Syria, they claimed that the SVP-24 Gefest allowed them strike with the same precision as US weapons but considerably cheaper The only problem was that in Syria, no one was shooting at them. In Ukraine, the Russia aircraft shortcomings have been painfully obvious The whole Ukraine sage so far has been painful shortcomings for the Russia military as well massive embarrassment
