The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust
this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports
that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the
situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a
large plethora of military resources? PS: I realize there are many casualties on
both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to
how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia
winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so
I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of
allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic
country.
In fact, Russia has some of the best air defence around. The west focused on trying to achieve air superiority through stealth during the Cold War, while USSR instead focused on air defence systems. Today, it's generally acknowledged that Russia has some of the best air defence systems in the world, and many of these don't have any western equivalents https://missilethreat.csis.org/system_tax/russian-air-defense/
Liberal brain flatness. F-35 program cost is absolutely astronomical, but when liberal hear of it, the pavlov reaction kicks in, and the only conclusions he can get from that is "wow, if it cost 10 times more than Russian fighter, it is surely 10 times better" instead of what even he knows on a daily basis, that in his corrupted country there is nothing more corrupted than MIC.

So if Russia’s air defence is top notch, what makes F35s so special?

So it’s the good ol’ “expensive means good” philosophy. Cool. Love how that’s just what people are running with nowadays, seems very stable.
Pilot killing efficiency
hype mostly
It’s been carefully designed by extremely talented engineers to ensure parts are sourced from all major players in the MIC.
