Seems to me that any time Russian air defenses have been required to react to ACTUAL events they've failed in a major way.

You might tell that to all the American aircrews shot down over Vietnam, along with Francis Gary Powers and Rudolf Anderson, by Soviet SAMs.

I guess if we’re running thousands of sorties per week some are likely to be shot down by plain luck.
