The lesson here is that the balance of weapons has turned to advantage for air defence.
No good news for militaries that require air superiority as part of their victory plan.

Given how much the Ukrainians have lied, and continue to lie, and our MSM and government help them lie, there's no reason to believe the Ukraine's claims. They cried wolf too many times.
If their claims are true, it does not remove the importance of air superiority. Air Defenses are taken out by aircraft and ground troops all the time. This 'story,' or today's propaganda piece, does not signal a turn of events. The media is going to fan these claims to try to portray it as worthy of billions of United States tax dollars. The Ukraine is dying and will continue to die until Zelensky flees to his mansion and the MSM distract everyone with a false flag. Why should the United States pay for the Ukraine's funeral?
The balance of weapons is for this war, not war in general, as this is the RuAF we are talking about, not the US and NATO, as their equipment and doctrine are very different and have not made an appearance in this war at all.
And its not really a change in “balance”, as the RuAF has never in this war been able to challenge the Ukrainian SAM umbrella with manned aircraft. Its spent most of that time nibbling at the edges of the front line at low altitude.
What the Russians have been doing lately is dropping standoff glide bombs, necessarily at high altitude, from what they hoped was beyond the range of that SAM umbrella. They have been disabused of this notion, and henceforth any glide bomb operations will have to be conducted from even further back. The Russians will probably have to modify their munitions in order to find such a safe zone.
Just gotta have superior EW.
Two countries do. Russia isn’t one of them.
It took place in late 1970s. The article is still garbage.
