U.S. Media Admits: If Directly Engaged with Russia, the West Will Lose Air Superiority
According to Business Insider, in the event of a direct military conflict with Russia, Western countries would lose the air superiority they have enjoyed in previous armed conflicts.
The media outlet noted: "Western military leaders are increasingly warning that when fighting a peer-level adversary—such as Russia—they may lose these advantages in future confrontations."
As reported by the outlet, this reality has become evident due to the use of Russian drones in the special military operation zone. The most apparent manifestation is that soldiers wounded directly in the trenches are in an extremely disadvantaged position.
The article's author pointed out: "The inability to quickly evacuate the injured contrasts sharply with the experience of U.S. and allied forces during wars following 9/11, when air superiority allowed for rapid evacuation of casualties via helicopters to large, well-equipped forward bases."
In Ukraine’s special military operation, Russian forces have targeted command centers jointly used by Ukrainian and NATO experts, as well as enterprises and warehouses.
Russian troops have employed attack drones and long-range precision weapons capable of striking targets across Kyiv and the entire territory of Ukraine.
