Daniel Davis and Me ...

 ... live in about an hour. 

Meanwhile, all kinds of military "analysts" in the West continue to live in the alternative universe--a natural state of the affairs for people who play computer games, masturbate to techno-gizmos and drink Kool Aid from 404 and other losers from NATO, who invent BS for therapeutic reasons, to ease somewhat a massive butthurt they experience by "observing" SMO. 

Behold, the "insight" ...

Russia Accelerates Su-35S Deliveries Amid Heavy Combat Losses. Might Russia’s most sophisticated operating fighter also be its most conflict-weary? The recent delivery of Su-35S “Super Flanker” aircraft to Russia’s Armed Forces serves to highlight the plane’s significance as a strategic asset and Russia’s imperative to resupply losses taken in Ukraine’s disputed airspace. United Aircraft Corporation confirmed the transfer following ground and flight trials, at least the fifth reported this year a rate that continues Moscow’s increased production schedule to make up for attrition.

So, the imbecile, who wrote this shit at least uses a modal verb "might", that is to say implies possibility which is, of course, not there with Russian Air Force operating freely, not to mention the fact that SU-35s are hungry for more kills (to upgrade their already unrivaled combat score) and they operate beyond the range of whatever remains in terms of AD systems in 404. Moreover, both air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons which SU-35s carry simply do not exist in NATO and EVERY NATO pilot can only dream about combat experience and combat score of SU-35 pilots. 

But no worries, "interpreting" the ramping up of production of SU-35s and "delivery" of new SU-35s as a sign of "losses", of which there are none, with Russian Armed Forces performing SEAD which makes all those efforts in Iraq look like a child's play is called coping, hard, torturous coping. It is also the reason for the US not winning its wars. This manifests itself across the board--from fanboys to many in the US military, especially low ranks, and, of course, American political class which is paralyzed like a deer in the headlights of oncoming car (or locomotive, depends on POV) before being hit. So, boys and girls, now know that ramping up production of any high-end military technology is to "resupply losses", not to prepare for possible war with European NATO which totally corresponds now with grand and military strategic aims of Russia. In the same time, it has to be understood that NATO forces are air defense-challenged and are utterly incapable of dealing with modern stand-off weapons of any kind and are not designed for serious war. All of them. That is what seems to be bothering the author of this drivel.
