Jet engines and airframes require constant maintenance. Constant use requires more maintenance.
The more advanced they are, the more stuff breaks down, the more maintenance they require.
That is both time consuming and costly..................

Hey, Snake, BI would be doing a better assessment of aircraft losses if it would graph the losses per month. A better analysis would be derived from that as well as more useful “lessons learned”.

A Russian contingent of 50 planes flew about three times as many sorties in Syria as 180 USAF planes for the same time period and managed to hit seven times as many targets.
And that before you’d look into what targets USAF was hitting (empty huts, camel tents etc).
Russian air force will be just fine.

Russia produces about 24 jets a year and close to a 100 combat helicopters so IF she is telling the truth their numbers are down about 45 overall.
Probably could buy that many from the Taliban that Biden gifted them.

Correct. Modern Russian military aircraft are known for relatively limited service life. In contrast, US and NATO military aircraft have much longer service lives and are intensely maintained and flown frequently, even in peacetime.

Wow, Snake, next you will be declaring that anyone who questions your reporter (who merely parrots whatever the propagandists at UK “intelligence” say to her) must be WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
GOING FULL LEFTIST MODE NOW/

Used to produce about 40, now probably twice that.
