Sure if they are in the right place to shoot them down. You saw what happened in Belgorod, Russia with that oil storage attack flying low and escaping.
I do not understand why so many in this forum believe that Poutine sent in his second strings and bench warmers and somehow that made the disaster that is the Russian military more palatable. Send in your best to win the war then use the second stringers to enforce the peace. For those who believe Russia kept their best back in Russia, I hope their countries' militaries are filled with stupid people like them.
Best thing to do is keep sending more Russian made or Russian design vehicles and equipment that are nearby to be use right now. They can also send in their own vehicles that they don't use anymore. We don't know how long the war is going to be, and the Ukrainians are fast leaners and they can learn to use some of the western equipment. Take a few days or weeks of training on western tanks for example.Krauss Maffei says can do upgrade up to 7 pieces of Leo II tanks per month. In addition the company can quickly deliver infantry tanks Boxer, Puma and artillery worth 20 billion euros.
That’s not all for Ukraine certainly. Most go to the Bundeswehr.

Its kind of like Saddam who prefers to keep his precious Republic Guard units intact.
To think in Call of Duty they captured half of Europe and the whole East Coast...
The problem for Saddam Hussein was that his Repugnican Guards were not that 'elite' to start. They were 'elite' in the sense that he paid them some extra money, more benefits, and publicly favored them. Ultimately, they were more his bodyguards than deployable troops.
Ah I figure they had better equipment and some training compared to the other Iraqi units at least.
In order to enhance the Reptilian Guards image, of course they had better gear and some more training, but the problem was that whenever we in the West reads/hears the word 'elite' we automatically impute our own standards of what is 'elite-ness' onto these other militaries, which eventually we usually found out they were not so 'elite' after all. When I was active duty, even when I was on the F-111, I heard from the F-15 guys that they quietly lower the standards for the Saudis 'elite' F-15 pilots because so many of them are 'princes' one way or another. You cannot be anything less than 'elite' if you are a prince. So all these Saudi 'princes pilots' are often are better airmen than American pilots. But paper is cheap...
Think the recent info is less than 100 hours of training per year.
that can not possible be true.
