Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called "mines" which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

I keep harping on this point again and again because I really cannot get across how fucking stupid it is: YOU DO NOT ASSUME AIR SUPREMACY OVER ANOTHER NATION'S AIRSPACE, YOU FUCKING INCOMPETENT IDIOTS. YOU CANNOT PROJECT AIR POWER 500 MILES DEEP INTO A NATION WITH A COMPREHENSIVE AIR DEFENSE NETWORK, RADARS, AND SAM SITES. YOUR STEALTH TECHNOLOGY IS NOT INVINCIBLE, AND YOUR SHITTY OVERPRICED BULLSHIT F-35 WILL GET SHOT DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THIS IS WHY YOU REFUSE TO DEPLOY THEM ON ACTUAL FRONTLINES.
Then again, since NATO keeps doubling-down on this idea it just means they're more likely to get fucking annihilated anytime they fight a near-peer in conventional warfare, so critical support to the failson Wunderwaffen generals I guess?
I think it says a lot about the countries NATO has been fighting that something like "assume air superiority" isn't laughed out of the room. It's because they are mostly in the business of destroying third world nations and haven't fought wars nearly so much as campaigns to exterminate resistance.
It's a fundamental flaw in the fascistic thinking of the West. Assuming superiority. "We are the civilized, evolved supreme people, and they are primitive subhumans."

One of my favorite Stalin trivia bits is that he wrote a personal note to a factory berating them for not making enough Ilyushin fighters.
You have let down our country and our Red Army. You have the nerve not to manufacture IL-2s until now. Our Red Army now needs IL-2 aircraft like the air it breathes, like the bread it eats. Shenkman produces one IL-2 a day and Tretyakov builds one or two MiG-3s daily. It is a mockery of our country and the Red Army. I ask you not to try the government's patience, and demand that you manufacture more ILs. This is my final warning.
Verbage like a disappointed dad lol
The assumption is nonsense but completely consistent with NATO transforming itself from a force designed to fight a peer military to a glorified colonial gendarmarie following the collapse of the USSR. They drank their own Kool Aid about the end of history and are paying for it now.
I absolutely need a variant of the "Sorry, We Didn't Know It Was Invisible" poster but for an F-35.
Go look on Reddit, you’ll see the same people who hem and haw that NATO is purely defensive gloating about bombing runs
Lol, what us this referencing?
During NATO's "intervention" in the Balkans, they sent what was at the time the world's most advanced and only existing model of stealth fighter, the F-117, to bomb some shit.
Serbian air defence shot one of them down, and not even by accident, they just straight up saw the "stealth fighter" on radar and smacked it with a missile. Later they put out this balling propaganda poster dunking on the Americans.
