@Sovereign If it was real, it would just be more target practice for the Ruskies.

i think the myth of russian AA superiority has been put to rest in the last few years as anyone who has bought it has been bombed with impunity including the russkies, with its only successes coming from kills vs non-maneuvering civi airlienrs

@Paultron @Sovereign True. But the war is providing the Russians with valuable experience that they can use to improve their systems - including radars.

@Sovereign @Paultron The B-2 is a really old weapon system. Its stealth effectiveness is questionable at best.

we have ukrainians for that, its good plausible deniability. turns out throwing remote controlled planes with c4 payloads into their oil refineries is not only effective but totally sufficient

@Paultron @Bunsen That is true, but it still isn't the same as Russia using glide bombs over Ukraine on a daily basis though. Russia can do the same, with greater quantities, and quality. The only advantage it seems "Ukraine" has is naval drones (for now). Russia is a large country though and Ukraine won't target every economic asset with drones.

@Sovereign @Paultron Plus, this war is a gift for Russia because it gives them valuable experience fighting a modern war. They will use this experience to improve their weapon systems and tactics.

@Bunsen @Paultron I'll never deny that the proxy Ukraine gets some shots at times but the problem for them is that Russia mostly has its lights on while Ukraine is at a level of chaos where they can only keep the lights on a third of the time. Not sustainable and who will keep paying their debts? For how long?

tbh given the demographic and equipment depletion of the russians it wasn't on their side eitherand htat's past tense since nothing is waking those dead upthe russians are not a serious factor for at least a decade at this point, meanwhile the west has decided the ukrs are disposable and are in quite a good position on that frontierthe russians are the bled white and drunk "allies" of north korea and little else considering the chinese market positions against the russians

@Paultron @Bunsen I'm not sure where you are hearing these things about demographics and equipment. All I know is I seriously disagree with your assessment on this. I agree that the west has determined Ukraine is disposable though but not much else.

@Paultron @Sovereign @Bunsen How can you say that when the American ally (Ukraine) has been actually bombed with impunity while Russia itself has remained almost completely safe over the course of the war?

@Griffith @Sovereign @Bunsen I wouldn't say Ukraine has been able to be bombed to impunity. Russian manned air assets rely mostly on long range glide bombs and cruise missiles launched at standoff rangeThe air war has turned into massed waves of missiles and drones

@Paultron @Sovereign @Bunsen It absolutely has been. They’ve lost power in their capital. The attacks come every day and they’re unable to stop them. That sounds like impunity to me.

@Griffith @Sovereign @Bunsen impunity would suggest that air zones beyond the line of control aren't entirely denied to their aircraftEither way, that is a question of Ukrainian/ western air defenses, whereas my original point was the relative low effectiveness of the Soviet/Russian platforms

@Paultron @Sovereign @Bunsen So did the Israelis. Do we honestly think Patriot batteries would have made the difference? I don’t think the AD grid of either of those countries was anything comparable.

@Paultron @Sovereign @Bunsen I’m asking you a question about Patriots in relation to Russian air defense in a comparative manner to see if there is actually an issue with Russian AD.

@Griffith @Sovereign @Bunsen and I'd say it's irrelevant, as the west has always emphasized air superiority over second line defenses- a doctrine that appears successful as there is no peer that can challenge them, perhaps even over their capital cities

@Paultron @Griffith @Bunsen The side that has the most of anything is Russia. It is shocking to me that this is still not understood by some and many. Russia is a massive land power. Ukraine is a petty proxy that is getting demolished. The speed of advancement is determined by Russia and Russia is doing everything possible to minimize losses. Ukraine is doing reckless attacks and wasting manpower for media stunts. They aren't the same.

@Paultron @Griffith @Bunsen They just don't need to fly over Kiev with a plane. You don't really understand Russian air doctrine. Even their strategic bomber the Tu-160 or the Tu-160M is not a gravity bomb type bomber. It is a missile carrier. It flies inside Russia and deploys a shit ton of cruise missiles and missiles. It isn't like a B2 bomber because Russian doctrine isn't designed to wage war against small little third world nations. It is built around defending against a near peer like the USA. If Russian AA batteries were ineffective, the US would be emboldened to use regular aircrafts inside Russia but they don't for fear they would be blown out of the sky.

@Paultron @Griffith @Bunsen Because they don't have the same amount of tiers of air defense, the same density, variety, or even training. Iran was mostly bombed from outside their airspace too. The only exception might be the B2 bomber but that is a very hard to target plane. They probably saw hints of it on radar but were not able to target it because they couldn't get air assets up in the air or were unwilling to do so. Russia would send various interceptors up and they would target a B2 bomber with IRST systems and then send some IR missiles against it by targeting its exhaust (which is not invisible).

@Paultron @Griffith @Bunsen And Russia has a doctrine of ground based air defense along with interceptors. The US fears them and you don't see any Ukrainian F-16s going into Russia proper, all they do with them is basically take out Geranium drones far away from the Russian border.

@Sovereign @Griffith @Bunsen @Paultron >>were unwilling to do so.The Iranians don't want to escalate if they can help itThe Russians on the other hand won't tolerate anything unwanted flying over their airspace period if they notice, even if they aren't able to bring a B2 down, they will keep trying. (They can)

@PalePimp @Griffith @Bunsen @Paultron Right and Iran has much more limited amount of planes so they have interest in using them for purposes that aren't very hard challenges. It is kind of like Ukraine, they probably have a few planes left but they are kept far away from frontline and hidden as much as possible. They are used for specific missions or to bring down drones. It is still wild to think that people somehow confuse these things and just assume "Russian air defense sucks".Russian air defense is stated to be even better than American air defense, lol. The US focuses on air superiority and expeditionary uses of its air force. They focus on projecting power globally but Russia focuses on defense of the main land against foreign air assets. If the US did enter Russian air space, they might be able to do some damages, but they wouldn't last very long and would suffer catastrophic damage.

@Paultron @Griffith @Sovereign @Bunsen >> wouldn't say Ukraine has been able to be bombed to impunity. Then:>> Russian manned air assets rely mostly on long range glide bombs and cruise missiles launched at standoff range the air war has turned into massed waves of missiles and drones.Ergo: Russia bombs Ukraine with impunity, daily.What Russia doesn't do: Bombard the civilian population indiscriminately.Ergo: Russia is not winning?Something doesn't compute.
