I have my doubts about Israeli claims, I think some of the SAM losses were actually air to air kills. What benefit there would be in denying these kills I don’t know but it is possible.

Nobody in the region able to realistically. Saudi Arabia maybe, but not while playing “friend” to the US

Pantsir may be cutting edge, but its also short range.[/QUOTE]

Exactly, sadly there will be plenty idiots on the net who think that the destrcution of Syrian defences despite the presence of a hand full, if that, of Pantsir and Buks proves the said defences inferiority.

Just like the fact that Serbs 20+ MiG-29s failed to defeat the 2000+ NATO armada proves its uselessness

How come,is Ka 60 experiencing development problems? Didn’t the Russian VVS order a decent amount of Ka 60 recently?

I think he means export wise. Ka-60 has been ordered for the Russian military yes, but it has taken no export orders as yet. Production of the AW in Russia could mean taking orders themselves, just like the Polish have done with the S-70 (Saudi S-70I is produced in Poland)
