Russia vs America combat jets per capita

[Beny Karachun]

The US lost 2 Apaches, F-16, F-117 over Kosovo a third worlder with hardly any military. What's your point?

Serbia isn't a 3rd world country moron.

Russia lost 2 MiG 29s over NO country, in less than a month.

That doesn't count. That was an ambush, not a combat.

Why are you bragging about the F-117 then?

Tested against who? Lots of them were shot down by third worlders.

Only 1 Russia plane was ever shot down in combat since Afghanistan when anti Assad army shot down a Su-25 earlier this year.



The end justifies the means. Russia eradicated anti Assad army in all of Syria except Greater Idlib, for now. America can't even control 50% of the land in Afghanistan.



Only 1 Russia jet was downed by MANPAD in Syria. A Su-25.



In Syria they are.

One glaring weakness is the lack of an advanced targeting pod for the Russian aircraft. Or any targeting pod at all. Russian aircraft currently flying in Syria do not use targeting pods like those carried by the U.S. and Western militaries. American and Western aircraft have been flying with targeting pods for decades and these systems have provided an incredible advantage during combat operations. Only recently was the newest version of the MiG-29 ‘Fulcrum’ -the MiG-35S – sighted with the T220 targeting pod while Russian aircraft in Syria performed with a mix of organic optical systems that limited performance and prevented a full range of targets from being prosecuted. India has purchased the Su-30MKI fighter jet from Russia and managed to incorporate the Litening targeting pod with its Flankers, and has done so for nearly ten years now. Malaysia is another customer who purchased a version of the Flanker - the Su-30MKM – and has adopted the French Damocles for use. Russia’s inability to produce a targeting pod comparable to Western pods is an extremely limiting factor in their aircraft’s effectiveness and targeting flexibility.

Targeting pods is the west's best talk about Russia planes weakness. They don't understand Russia combat philosophy. Dedicated Russia attack jets like Su-25 and Su-24 and Su-34 don't carry targeting pods. The have fuselage mounted EO targeting systems like F-117's targeting system. Su-25 has SOLT-25. Su-24 has Kaira-24. Su-34 has Platan. T220 targeting pod is developed from Platan. Targeting pods take up a hard point and adds weight. Also, satellite guided bombs have great range, all weather capability, and they don't need targeting pods to be used, they need GPS to be used.

Dozens of Russian aircraft got shot down over Afghanistan and Georgia, dozens more if you count crashes due to crappy Russian quality

So Georgia isn't a third world country @undertakerwwefan

Georgia is a third worlder. Very little military. Ditto with Ukraine. None of their air defense radars would even work under 24 / 7 aerial radar jamming.

Without 24/7 capability they bring down 8 Russian latest combat jets this we all talking about and you're not agreed about us @undertakerwwefan tthink logically and use the commonsense @undertakerwwefan

According to reports, Russia lost a total of 6 jets in the Russia Georgia war, 3 of which were lost to friendly fire.

However, Russia air power today is leaps and bounds above Russia power in 2008. If there is another war today, Russia would lose 0 plane.

for india it comes out to be 0.97 planes per million people
1291 planes and 132 crore population (excluding uav and choppers)
for pak it comes out to be 3.74 plane per million people
723 planes and 19.32 crore population(excluding uav and choppers)

wow...i didn't expect that...

India is one of the least armed countries in the world. Austria has 15 Typhoons for 8 million people = 1.875 per million people, and Austria is the 2nd least armed country in Europe after Ireland which has 0 combat jets.

Yak-130 is attack jet, so I added it.

Russia 1824 Yak-130 and Su-24 and Su-25 and MiG-29 / 35 and MiG-31 and Su-27 / 30 / 33 / 34 / 35 for 146 million people = 12.49 per million people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_Russian_military_aircraft

America 3462 A-10 and AV-8 and F-5 and F-15 and F-16 and F-18 and F-22 and F-35 for 325 million people = 10.65 per million people

As you can see Russia is indeed one of the most heavily armed countries in the world. Indeed.

As for India I only counted 244 + 84 + 66 + 9 + 41 + 233 + 92 + 45 = 814 combat planes.
