They’ve kicked themselves out.
They had a beachhead in Syria (and still kind of do) but their stupid frolic and detour in Ukraine has sucked up their entire bandwidth. All the “good” equipment went home to fight.
They also used the ME as a profit center, selling their crap weaponry to Iran. No one will buy S400s again. They’re worthless.
Piece-ful as in ROP.

Unless you are trying to shoot down commercial airlines, which Russia is adept at.
