Use your head. If Russia had anything at all like that kind of power why did it put in its worst performance since the Finnish War in Chechnya ? Why did it fume in impotent rage when their beloved Serb brothers were being bombed ?

Exports to China ? The Chinese buy a few dozen planes and clone the technology into their own productions. What export markets are there ? Do you see Syria replacing all their T-72's and T-62's with T-95's, as they need to ? India wants license deals to produce T-95's domestically, not to import huge numbers of them.

Basic common sense should tell you that a country whose primary foreign trade is to displace the Philippines as key exporter of young female flesh is not a country in very good shape at all.

Yes they are in bad shape. But one cannot overlook intentions, especially with regard to the China-Russian alliance IMO.
