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

Who said 4,000 tanks? You basically make up my points to refute, that’s more intellectual dishonesty.
I don’t have any narrative, I am talking about facts. You claim to have military experience, but repeat media propaganda designed for dim-wits who don’t know the difference between woman and man.
Regarding Russian air doctrine you know about as much as you know about air superiority - not much.
And if Ukraine didn’t lose the planes, including 160 it got over the last 18 months, why there is a talk of F-16s?
