        Russians have hands down the best air defense system in the entire world.

        what makes them the best?

          Being opposite the most technically skilled air force in the world.

          Even back in Vietnam, Russian SAMs scored an impressive kill count against the USAF.

        NATO does not have the capacity to win a conventional land war against Russia.

        Then why is Ukraine winning large parts of territory back?

        The Russians have hands down the best air defense system in the entire world.

        So how come they failed to eliminate the Ukrainian air force and did not achieve air dominance?

          They're not NATO.

          Someone doesn't understand what air defense is or what it does. You can't win an offensive campaign with air defense.

            They're a weaker opponent then NATO, so it should be easier to defeat them...

            What? This is simply not true. Ukraine took back a large territory in the Kharkiv region and a smaller piece between Kherson and Mykolaiv.
