During the Korean War, the Soviet Union moved a lot of Mig 15’s into northern Korea and NE’stern China, manned by Russian pilots.

For a few months, we were getting our ass kicked. The Mig 15’s had swept wings, were faster than our fighters, could out-turn our fighters, and outgunned our fighters.

After about six months, we introduced Sabre jets (F-86’s) to the fight. Swept wings, similar maneuverability, similar speeds, and slightly less outgunned (we really could have used 20MM cannons, bit we stuck with MA-2s), we started killing more Mig 15’s just because we had better production numbers and training than the Russians.

Now to the present day!

The Ukes have been better prepared by combat for this war than the Russians. The Russians equipment is almost all obsolete. Their comms suck. Their logistics software sucks, their tires suck. They are laughably unable to coordinate their various offensive units.

It’s what happens when you try to be the US Army and your GDP is the size of Texas.

Can the Russians come back from the problems encountered in Ukraine like we did in Korea?

Oh hell no. They have a GDP the size of Texas. They are so, so fucked.
