  1. Most peopel cheer for certain jets by those simulator games, which overall are good enough for a halfway correct flight model and all, but when it comes to actual combat and scenarios, they are a joke. But some channels make videos with NATO jets just flying deep into Russia for example to destroy an airbase and alike and so people think, those are simply just godlike machines which could win on their own easily.

  2. Russia got 2000 S-300 launcher and only 800 in active service, means they got 1200 in reserve - and that before their production capacity taken into account (at the moment they don't even get beyond that). Just as one example, how many they would have to destroy to make even a DENT.

  3. You can't even trust fotos and videos anymore these days and have to anyalyze them consequently. It's for example more than odd when you got 'proof' of a destroyed, burned out missiles system, but zero sign of burn marks around it, no sooth nothing. That's... unlikely. It's also typical for the NATO side to produce videos with endless cuts, what you mainly see in Russian videos when cutting to the surveillance drone to show the impact). Not even starting with how Russia is constantly using those 1500 FABs or even that Aerosol version. While those don't make fancy close range videos, the idea that anything could survive this in a 100m radius is... far fetched. And they use hundreds of those every week. On top of way more and way better drones, missiles, artillery superiority, other aviation and so on...

  4. They don't even need airforce for that. People don't get what a gigantic amount of anti air and ECM Russia got. Even when you just eat everything the Banderites claim, that's not even making a dent in their army. For example: Russia got 2000 S-300 launcher. They only actively use 800 of them (of course not in Ukraine alone, this includes all used system). 1200 are in reserve to replace losses. Just to understand, what level of destruction you would need to even start to bring Russia into a reduction of its anti air capacity. What you got now isn't even enough to get beyond their production. And since they produce that stuff themselves, it costs them only a fraction of what the west pays to private companies to get a new system, the majority of it just bein corruption to generate profit. Even a radar system isn't expensive to make. The most expensive part was to create the prototype and so on. If they would have to buy it from another country, sure, but producing it is very cheap.
