Business Insider: The West could lose air superiority in a war with Russia

Business Insider writes that in the event of a direct war with Russia, the West could lose its air superiority.

This demonstrated the successful use of Russian drones in the Northeast Military District zone.

In a special operation in Ukraine, fighters use attack UAVs and long-range precision weapons.

MOSCOW, September 13 – RIA Novosti. In a direct war with Russia, the West will not be able to enjoy the air superiority that was available to it in other conflicts, writes Business Insider.

"Western military leaders are increasingly warning that in a future war against a rival of comparable strength - such as Russia - they could lose these advantages," the article says.

It is noted that this fact became clear due to the successful use of Russian drones in the Northern Military District zone. It is especially acute in the vulnerability of soldiers wounded in the trenches.

“The inability to quickly evacuate casualties flies in the face of U.S. and allied experience in the post-9/11 wars, when American and coalition forces were able to take advantage of air superiority and transport the wounded by helicopter to large, well-equipped bases,” the author added.

In a special operation in Ukraine, the Russian army is targeting decision-making centers, enterprises and warehouses that the Armed Forces of Ukraine use together with NATO specialists.
