The talk was about tanks if you paid attention.
Regarding aircraft, they lost about 400, of them some retired returned from mothballs and maybe 160 provided by the former Warsaw Pact countries.
Note, that they failed to score a single Russian jet in air combat.
Regarding the rest, I have no idea why are you trying to insult instead of arguing, but it is normally a symptom of butt hurt.
Feel free to reasonably refute any of my points, but I understand that it is really hard to draw parallels between your experience in A-stan and a real war.
It always cracks me up seeing NATO POG types commenting the videos of recent engagements, like what this or that guy did wrong. They just lack the basic understanding of NSW in principle and going to crap their pants the moment you’ll put them on real frontlines.

Appreciate you Russian MOD numbers, 400 lost aircraft and 4000 tanks is more than they ever had, and at the very least would mean they have none to counter attack with. That is obviously not true, but hey who can argue with reports that showed Bradley’s being lost before they were even delivered.
You have your narrative and I appreciate how strongly you stick to it.

Speaking of mothballed those t-64s t-55s and d-20s along with 1940s trucks do polish up well.

Air combat good point a lot of that going on from the Russian side, pop up drop your munitions and the high tail it out of there. Question how many Russian aircraft have ventured over Ukrainian air space

Russian air doctrine never stressed air to air, I get that, more of ground support role, but with the claim of 400 Ukrainian auto shot down I would think a country with “air superiority “ just might try some longer ranged attacks.

Well Russia has a few less transport aircraft, strategic bombers and fighter/bombers than they did a few weeks ago so there is that.

Bring on the T-14s and 57s should have an interesting effect on the export market
