Hmmm, who would have guessed reliability in difficult conditions would be an issue? Who knew?? </sarcasm>

Sorry they can’t have these issues after wiping ISIS out completely!

No doubt — but for all their troubles are they killing more bad guys at a faster rate than the Obamanation?

Perhaps Ivan should swallow his pride and ask our guys how we got it done in the raghead’s sandbox.

Simple rationale ... Russian/Soviet aircraft were designed for the European and humid environments. They were never designed to operate in arid/sandy environments. Yes, the Russian/Soviet airfields are in icy and snowy areas of the country, and are designed for that.

It's obvious to any observer that Russia uses ISIS just as live practice targets, and sees Syria as a test range. All the feedback about reliability and failure rate of all components is necessary for improvements.

Don’t believe a word of it.
Consider the source.

I recall that our troops had similar equipment problems when we first went into Kuwait and Iraq.
We figured out what needed to be done and the Russkies will do the same.
Don’t forget - we rely on them to take Americans back and forth to the space station on equipment that is Russian designed, built and manitained so they can’t be too incompetent.

Well golly if an unnamed US DOD official says it, it has to be true, right Wally?
Russian airframes been all over the middle east for 5 decades. They have a reputation for high dependability, short lives, and lower tech. Now DOD turns that on its head.
Propaganda.

With the headline, first thing I thought was ... Gee, they never had stories like these when we were doing the bombing.

When I was in Afghanistan I can recall only one maintenance issue, which occurred while we were in the air. We RTB’d, got it fixed and were on our way within an hour. Other than that, we always completed the mission. That was over the course of 77 combat missions.

I thought sturdiness and reliability was one thing they did well.
