    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 it’s the good ol’ “expensive means good” philosophy. Cool. Love how that’s just what people are running with nowadays, seems very stable.

        It’s been carefully designed by extremely talented engineers to ensure parts are sourced from all major players in the MIC.
