The Russian airforce:
* 40 year old planes
* Built by error prone Soviet factories
* Maintained by crews who pocket 80% of the budget
* Flown by pilots with more vodka than oxygen in their blood
For all these reasons the Russian air force has shown itself very poorly this war.

Meanwhile, Vlad rolls on, the Donbass and Russian eastern provinces are 99 percent liberated, the southern front now rolling in on Mikolayev. When, not if, the “ Zelensky line” in the Donbass folds ( already punched through), they retreat across the flat, indefensible plains to the Dniepner. Fish in a barrel.
When Mikolayev folds, the ethnic Russian city of Odessa is in Vlads sight.
Game over…..getting close, the northern, eastern and southern fronts getting saturated by Vlads artillery….in excess of 100,000 rounds daily. Is Vlad taking the gloves off?
