Dear Russell, while i value very much your insights - i m sometime amazed by how you can be influenced by mainstream medias on the UKraine / Russia war… While the (UK logistically supported) coup to the Russian Air forces is clearly negative for Russia leadership, these are planes from the 50s and account for less than 6% of the total fleet. This is clearly not an important blow for Russian army.UK and EU are trying to trigger a massive Russian response to continue this war.

Ah the first casualty of war is truth. Maybe you are right about them being old planes - but they would definitely cost more than the drones that destroyed them.

As for the war - it is Russia controlling Ukrainian area - not the other way around, so you have to be deluded to think Russia is being goaded to continue fighting. When you take land - expect fighting. Its a rule that is old as time.
