Russia has removed some or all of its air defense systems from Syria. This probably plays into Israel’s decision to send aid to Ukraine. Russia’s presence around the entire world is seriously reduced as they used the Wagner group all around South America and Africa. The entire world will be safer for decades to come.
I bet the 3-4 Su-34s Russia has in Syria have (or will) go home shortly.
They’re down 15 as of today, which is probably most of its fleet. They only had about 30 of the 34M operational. Assume a 50% flight readiness status, and things are getting thin there.
Such a waste. Putin is an idiot. Russia only real enemies are China and Muslim hordes.
They only removed the old S300 systems - the S400s are still in place. No Biggy.
