Most of airwar today is about range, because, well, aircrafts are good at hauling missiles.
Flying low, stealth, etc only helps at avoiding detection, and can do nothing about the plane being fired upon. Only ECM has a chance to fool a missile today if a specific counter for the missile seeker exists. And it's a one time opportunity, because Russians can obviously record the jamming signal, and find out how it messes with their seeker.
Russian jets patrol around 200-300km behind their SAM lines. At most 2 at a time.

Europe must be told and figure out that the old days of Europe as safe and secure is over. The post-cold war era is over with Trump and Putin. These smashed the old system of US protecting Europe. Europe has no reliable partner to crush Russia. Europe has be the army that defeats a Russian invasion. Uncle Sam is not going to save Ukraine or NATO Europe.

UK and the US are not going to save Europe. That was never the plan. Europe must re-arm and get nuclear weapons.
The Chips are down, whose gamble will pay off remains to be seen. 2023 will be the decisive year for the outcome in Ukraine and will decide the US and Russian position on the global stage. Following the defeat of NATO in Afghanistan a NATO defeat in Ukraine will be too much to bare and will set the world order into a multipolar state for a long long time with China at the top. However it will be a springboard for the US arms industry which will readjust to challenge the global order and strive to be at the top.

By the way, R-37M is a great example of Russian deception, and hiding killer facts in broad daylight.
It was found out that R-37M is not an AWACS killer, but more of an all-rounder missile, with use against fighter jets being one of its primary tasks.
It pulls high-Gs, cannot be notched, and comes with a look-down capable active seeker (which you absolutely don't need for killing awacs aircrafts).

Can i ask what a defeat in ukraine looks like to you??
Cause even if russia manages to crawl away with the donbass…the majority of a key soviet republic (ukraine) now is beyond their influence sphere and actively hates them.
Russia lost their main gas consumers.
Europe is rearming, tripling budgets (buying mostly american arms).
Its a geopolitical nightmare for russia and they can only hope to soften the damage/fallout.
Europe is also taking heavy economic hits and becomes more reliant on Usa again.
How is China and america being the major gainers of this conflict (at expense of europe and russia) make the world more “multipolar”?

The industrial production in the EU in November was up 2% y/y:

"The European industry is dying without Russia"... ney, it`s a minor Problem, Russian economy is small.

Europe was always depended of the US and.... China, Russia was just a gas station that can be replaced ( NOT without pain ). "Multipolar", is possible with US, EU, India, China... maybe south America. Russia just played their chances.

Russia has taken a massive strategic loss in this war. There’s no doubt about that at this point. They’ve lost Ukraine forever, NATO and US vastly more powerful, huge losses in manpower and military equipment, sanctioned to the hilt and economically bludgeoned. All of that for only 10% of Ukrainian territory gain since February ‘22. This will go down as one of the worst strategic blunders in history.

Russian SU-25 CAS, SU-35, SU-57 fighter jets; KA-52 Alligator, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind helicopters; and long-range bombers have all participated in the current war in Ukraine.
However, Russians have found their missile, drone, and artillery better suited in some of the battles such as the one taking place in and around Bakhmut. So they are preserving their air force for perhaps an escalated phase of the conflict in the future. One doesn't need to show all of his cards in a conflict.

You cut off one pole, so the next contender in line gets better odds competing with the former no.2.

If anything that can be taken from this war is, a nation with 1-million men in arms, backed by the Western empire has been brought to its knees. If the West was not bankrolling Ukraine withe endless supplies of both military and financial backing, this war would've been over long ago.
So the reality is the Russians have fixed their earlier mistakes in the war and are executing it now meticulously while the West is grabbing every week and month who can give what to Ukraine. Any unbiased observer can clearly the panic on Western leaders on daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Another thing that took a hit: The SWIFT financial system that the West always used to suffocate other countries. Russian SPFS and Chinese CHIPS are fully operational. Countries are longer chained by SWIFT and the fiat money. All of those financial controls that the West built in order to preserve their empire have been broken. If a country wants to do business with China, Russia, Iran, or even India, the "Fiat Dollar system" is no longer in the middle. Multi-polar is a reality today.
Of course, you and others can continue believing your fairy tales though.

You are asking very in-depth questions requiring very in-depth answer. I will come up with some points and detail it to you.

This French journalist busted all of the false stories that the Western propagandists were running with. In return, they tried to assassinate him. Luckily, he survived. This is the extent that the Western elites, their propagandists, and hit men go to silence any man and woman who tries to tell the truth about the atrocities that Ukrainians and their backers were/are committing in the Donbas and Ukraine in general.
