It's ridiculous how easily superpowers can take out a nation's air defense systems. There does not seem to be any counter. Strong air force, navy, and nuclear weapons seem to be much more important than air defense.

US can likely take out Iranian air defense systems in such rapid duration too. However, Iran has advantage of large landmass and difficult terrain. Plus ability to strike back with missiles. No wonder Iran investing more in BM tech rather than procuring air defense systems.

dunno what that means but 5 Russian helicopter losses turn out to be 1 Ukranian halicopter and 4 turkish drones.

11 air airfields
3 command posts
1 naval base
18 radar stations of the S-300 and Buk-M1
1 combat helicopter
4 Bayraktar TB-2 combat drones

*Ukranian drones (Both the ownership and operation of the TB2s belong to the Ukrainian army.)

As far as I know, they could not even make the jets to fully operational that the Russians cut in to piece and returned . I think 143 is just a number on paper.

Where?

Trying to find out.
