“The UK has just 169 frontline jets to Russia’s 1,500...”
LOL. As if the UK would ever be facing Russia alone.
In the real world, NATO fights together, and NATO’s combined air power dwarfs Russia by a large margin, and is of higher quality as well.

” NATO’s combined air power”
...is currently grounded at a 50% or higher rate in most cases. Toss in some high flight hours and those wizard aircraft stay grounded.

Yeah, and the US spends more on defense than the rest of NATO combined and then some. In the real world, the US would be defending the rest of NATO, which adds little to our own defense. The US has been providing the security umbrella for the rest of Europe for 75 years.

Add up NATO for us and see how many you get that can survive the environment in Ukraine?

What alternate universe are you in? The Air Force, like Carriers, will not be a factor in another war. Drones will be used for the most part, it will an automated video game war.
