  1. Russia has not had control of the skies since the beginning and it is not going to start now.

  2.  @notsocleverley  Do you realize it takes like 2 years to build an SU-35 and 3 Years to build an SU-57? At any rate, Russia already has them in stock. But they are not able to put many into the air because SAMS can knock them down very easily. Even a very old Russian S-300 can easily shoot them down. Also, the 300,000 man "army" you mentioned are being sent to fight with no military training.

  3. Russia and the West were actually in the middle of negotiations on the day Russia invaded Ukraine.

  4. Russia has always been big on making great big giant brute force weapons. But they have to hit the target to be effective.
