Again wrong
When you have true air superiority , you have complete control of the battlespace. In essence, the enemy is unable to act freely
That Gulf War is example of true superiority as west had complete control of the battlespace
Vietnam again is irrelevant to modern warfare. Secondly wars are not fought with similar levels of equipment as Ukraine has shown. War are fought with advantages
The Pzh-2000 were out of action due the high-intensity of Ukraine firing. That problem is simply due to low number of Pzh-2000. Ukraine doesn't have enough western SPA yet
Russia's lack of camera's also makes no sense. The US has high resolution optics on everything so commanders can view situations as well confirm target movement and destruction.
Incorrect
The M777 needs 20 min per mission and range is just 25 miles. It has to set up, communicate/fire ,then break down and leave which normally takes 20 miles
The Pzh-2000 needs 6s min per mission. Set up, communicate/fire and displace ,its range 40 miles
The HIMARS only needs 3 mins and its range 50 miles. The missile are preloaded while its on the move so all it has to do set up, fire and displace
A KA-52 can cover 25 miles in 9 minutes which means it can easily engage M777s
Even at max speed, the KA-52 covers 40 miles in 12 minutes , 15 mins for 50 miles
By the time a KA-52 gets over head, Pzh-2000 and HIMARS are over 4 miles away. HIMARS as much as 10 miles away
This goes back to Russia's lack of air superiority
The US maintains air superiority by having aircraft 24/7 patrolling kill boxes
The principle benefit is that aircraft can react within minutes. a supersonic Su-35 or MiG-35 can cover 50 miles under 3 minutes but more importantly
if they had advanced western targeting pods and Brimstone missiles, they could precisely target and fire while en route without having to get overhead
yet factor why Russias's air superiority is farce

t's about flying without being interfered by enemy planes, which is the case for Russia-Wrong true air superiority is total and complete control of the battlespace
It's impossible to destroy every piece of equipment on the opposite side- Wrong
USA lost 10k planes and helicopters in Vietnam.- You best statement is war decades ago that has nothing to with modern warfare
your copium is hilarious
Lets get the propaganda out of the way, if Russia destroyed 10 himars and 6 pzh2000 in August, they would have wasted no time parading the wreckage for the world to see yet nada.
US military developed Persistent Air Support (PAS) which allows for total control of the battlespace.
The first asset is the UAVs such as the MQ-9 which can function as both reconnaissance and strike asset
The second is the E-8 JSTARS provide Airborne ground surveillance (AGS) as well communicates with the MQ-9
The JSTARS also provides battle management and command/ control of aircraft. Russia has neither
The newer EA-18G can network together with multiple aircraft allow them generate targeting tracks for hostile radio-frequency sources in real time
They narrow targets to down to very very small areas. Again capability that Russia does not have
US aircraft carry Litening, LANTIRN and SNIPER XR targeting pod, Russia aircraft lack targeting pods
The only Russian aircraft with an actual targeting pod similar to the Western pods is the Su-57. The MIG-35 OLS is basically the 80s era Pave Spike pod
hopeless out dated
JDAM, PAVEWAY, JSOW, JASSM, HARPOON and SDB I/II are standard to virtually all US military strike aircraft
B-2 can't use PAVEWAYs or SDB I/II but it can use most everything else
Lets look at Russian aircraft
Not one Tu-95, Tu-22M or Tu-160 can use any of the KAB-series weapons ,more to the point only few aircraft can use them ?
Same with missiles. In short, the Russian air force virtually no commonality with weapons, its literally a sock draw of capabilities
The Russian air force convinced itself that SVP-24 was good as the western targeting pod and that has been proven false
The short comings of the Russia military is endless
Strange how the Su-33 and MIG-29K are on the sidelines
It's impossible to destroy every piece of equipment on the opposite side- Wrong
Its not about destroying every piece of equipment, its about rendering the enemy combat ineffective which the Russian air force isnt doing
The way you render an enemy combat ineffective by neutralizing their supplies and weapons
its 10 months later and that has yet to happen
