1/ The Russian Air Force’s inability to protect its aircraft against Ukrainian drones is symptomatic of its neglected status within the Russian armed forces, according to a prominent milblogger linked to the air force. He says it is afflicted by “desperation and poverty”.

1. The poverty is clearly demonstrated by the used tires, supposedly assisting in camouflage in the planes (which really worked exceedingly well – NOT!). If RuZZian Air Force personnel were well off, they would use new tires.

2. You’d think a country the size of Russia with so little access to the sea would prioritize its air forces

3. Russia’s military has always been afflicted by desperation and poverty. Even in the “glory” years of the Soviet Union, soldiers were stealing anti freeze and brake fluid and making them into alcoholic beverages.

4. “poverty” is a nice euphemism for “corruption” 😆
