As a Russian general, I can confirm our tank turrets have spent longer airtime over Ukraine than our Air Force has.

Russia really perfected the doctrine of establishing air inferiority in Ukraine

The people that made the Soviet Union a superpower are in separate countries now... including the one they've invaded.

As a survivor of a window accident in a Russian high-rise building, I can confirm that it's dangerous to talk about the "special military operation."

"Russia planes are just airborne artillery" Perfect description 👌

The battle of Britain should have taught everyone that targeting cities and civilian homes doesnt break the enemy. It just strengthens their resolve.

Russia doesn’t want to embarrass its Air Force.

0:30 By saying that ukraine has never been tested on the battlefield you are not giving ukraine enough credit.
They have been fighting in eastern Ukraine against Russian separatists since 2014.

“A former military superpower” made me laugh so hard!😂

The training and tactics which NATO countries provided to Ukraine should not be understated. NATO was designed and built to counter soviet tactics and the UA embraced NATO doctrine quite effectively.

This really is all about China, Russia is upset seeing the USA move on from them and the Cold War and seeing us with someone else.

"I hope Russia doesn't de-nazify my house with a rocket!" I should not have laughed as hard as I did at that line.

The Soviet Air Force chief of staff in WWII was Armenian air marshal Sergei Khudyakov and Armenian engineers Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Pogosyan created the MiG and Sukhoi jet aircraft

LOL, Poor Putin, I wonder when he'll realize how pathetic his military is without nukes.

[Sub-kmnk]

Just months ago The United States and NATO considered Russia a formidable military adversary

[MatthewSmith-tohz]

Everyone: Where is Airforce?

No one: How is Airforce?

I remember the third week I wish I remember this guy's name, but a Russian general was killed, he fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya twice, Ossetia, Georgia, the khazak revolt, he didn't last three weeks in Ukraine
Imagine pilots who never were trained to dogfight, or how to avoid mpads

You think Russia miscalculated this whole thing but that’s putting it mildly.
