I think all countries have few pilots. Russia is the #2 Airforce in the world, behind the US. If you compare them to the US, sure, they look under prepared.

I think all countries have few pilots. Russia is the #2 Airforce in the world, behind the US. If you compare them to the US, sure, they look under prepared. Against literally any other individual country, they look fairly competent. I don't think any conflict will feature overwhelming air superiority between two comparable powers. As far as accuracy, it's tough to really say. The Russians have claimed to have hit all sorts of things, including a Patriot complex. Of course, the Ukrainians deny that. As far as drones vs similar costing items, there's a different tool for a different job. I think the drones have proven quite efficient.
