    They are most probably already used to shoot down rockets and gliding bombs. They won’t be pulled anywhere near the border until every enemy’s anti-air facility in the vicinity is thoroughly destroyed.

      Yep. They have crummy range without refueling. Nobody’s talking about Gripens anymore for some reason, but those have the advantage they could hide on the ground near the front.

      The sappers are the one non-incompetent part of the Russian army. Without some kind of offensive airpower it’s a WWI-style deadlock and no breakthroughs seem possible.
