As to Ru AF issues… When they take seriously, the concept of a well fed, well trained, well taken care of enlisted and officer cadre like the USAF ( what really makes the USAF effective )…. Call me. Until then, they will always have personnel problems with hair on them, as a normal course of doing business.
Hey elp, great to have you back.
I take your point about their need to improve training and the command structure etc – however, I do think things are moving in that direction. In theory it should not be long after 2010 that the whole armed forces is professionalised. While you may be able to treat green conscripts who are going to be going home in a matter of months one way it will be a different story with professional soldiers who are in it for the long haul.
EDIT: Also, it is worth bearing in mind that we actually still know very little about the RuAF – I was reminded of this when Garry asked someone recently when they last saw a Russian fighter with ‘real’ missiles hanging from the hardpoints. They’re pretty rare and yet we know that the Russians have fighters and missiles.
