Everything old is new again.

Well, at least the American Taxpayer didn’t pay for that one.
F-16s are so yesterday, and no match for ultramodern, sleek SU-35s
The F-16’s Ukraine has, maybe.
The F-16’s in the USAF? Probably not. Because those F-16’s have F-15’s, AWAC’s, and other (USN, etc.) platforms at their assistance.
In other words, USAF > SU-35’s, Russian AF. ALL day.
It’s like sending F-18 F/G’s against Iran’s 40+ year old F-14’s. Sure, the F-14’s are pretty, but they’re woefully outdated.
Sorry you missed the tongue in cheek S tag.
That I did.
And even Ukrainian F-16’s are more likely capable than the Russian planes.
I would not hold my breath waiting on Ruzzia to collapse.
Ruzzians have lived for decades on very little of everything.
They are used to daily life hardships.

Yet the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia itself fell into disorder for a decade. Before that, the Tsarist regime collapsed in 1917. That is not a good track record.
