The RAF's fleet of combat aircraft is so small it would be wiped out if Britain went to war against Vladimir Putin, according to a parliamentary report.
There are so few Typhoon jets and F-35s that the fleet could not withstand the 'levels of attrition' that would occur.
The UK has just 169 frontline jets to Russia's 1,500 and, after repeated post-Cold War cutbacks, our fleet is also smaller than that of our European allies.

Uncle Sucker again.
“The thing that’s always worried me about being one of the few is the way we keep on getting fewer.”
“400,000 Ukrainian KIAs is hardly pussyfooting.”
That is a ridiculous figure.
Disprove it
I can’t see the tail codes but both of those may be from RAF Lakenheath, an American run base, which has about 75 F-15s and about 35 F-35s.
Britain couldn’t go to war with Monaco. 😏
Focus on America under Biden
Why should I? You are making the claim. That is way bigger than even the Russian claims that have been posted from time to time here.
Col MacGregor made the claim. I posted it yesterday. Search 🔦 still works.
It’s total BS. “Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.” I’d say the US is more credible than Col. MacGregor.

Alrighty then...the Russians will deliver Mr Kinzhal from the territory of Kalingrad so as not to offend the mighty Finns and warlike Swedes. Either way “Great” Britain gets taken off the board pretty quickly.

You can find it yourself. I did.
I tried. It doesn’t exist. Please do better.
England doesn’t need any air force. They will never fight another war. The mighty American empire will fight for them. They just need a few symbolic planes to fly over parades and a few old Spitfires to use in memorials. If they need planes they can always buy them from China.
The Britoni could at least pay tribute to Caesar for the use of our Air Force.
