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?
Forgive me for perhaps conflating your numbers with others like kazan who have reported 4000 tanks lost, I stand corrected
As to needing F-16s or other western aircraft, yes they need the numbers to compete with Russian air fleet, but more importantly is the weapons and radar capability these aircraft will bring with them
But you already know this
Stand by my understanding of Russian air doctrine
Russia always knew it could not stand toe to toe with western airpower, that is why they invest heavily in ground based air defense abs artillery with aircraft namely being used for ground attack support and limited (temporary) air dominance in the area ground attack is happening
Western doctrine is air supremacy with airpower, B bombers and ground attack aircraft doing the major infantry support , not artillery
Yup limited knowledge
