Anyhoo, in response to the obvious intent of this thread, attrition ratio for russian naval fighter assets vs US in last 6 months is 1500 times higher, even though USN annual flight hours are roughly 4.13 times more. So russian navy loss rate per flight hour is 6200 times higher since december.
Russian Navy? :confused: Your point being?
