>Russia is clearly dominating the sky. We are in short supply of modern warplanes. It is not just about quantity but quality of them. We are very thankful to the world for already going through with the matter of training our pilots. This is important. But besides them being trained, it would be nice to have some confidence and surety that we are going to have these planes in sufficient quantity.
