Israelis and US used F35 every day over iranian and Syrian soil.
Su57 is only an aero show jet. The few built are hand made. Russian air force is made of Su27 and Mig29 brothers.

Su57 is like T14 Armata : far too costly for the ruined russian economy.

Russia is the world's 4th largest economy by PPP, The 1st in Europe,
knocked Japan out of the spot in 2024.


a high-income country by per capita income, the 9th most populous nation, has the largest land area, and possesses the most natural resources. In this context,

what specific aspects of the Russian economy are people referring to when they talk about its 'ruined' and in what form might that happen?

The russia DGP is nearly the one of Italy.... with twice the population.

The russia DGP is nearly the one of Italy.... with twice the population.

The latest Leopard 2A8IT purchased by Italy costs €30 million per tank, whereas the T-90M costs €3 million—a tenfold difference.
The Trieste amphibious assault ship costs €1.2 billion per vessel, while Project 23900 has the same displacement but costs less than €600 million when converted at high rates.
What even is GDP? Russia purchases Russian ammunition and weapons; it doesn't use euros or US dollars. Of course, it should be calculated in local currency based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).
What kind of garbage country is Italy anyway?
Even if you measure GDP uniformly in US dollars:
Since 2014, the US dollar has appreciated by 100% against the ruble. Even under these conditions, Russia, with its population of 140 million, surpassed Guangdong—China's wealthiest province with a population of 120 million.
And Guangdong receives endless central fiscal support, relies on virtually cost-free migrant workers pouring in from other provinces, possesses ice-free ports, and doesn't need to bear the social security and pension expenses of its working population—nor does it have to maintain a 2-million-strong military or build jet aircraft, rockets, and nuclear submarines.Guangdong Province—the world's largest industrial contract-manufacturing cluster and sweatshop—doesn't even need formal official documents from the central government to draw coal or divert electricity from other provinces. All it takes is an IOU, and it doesn't even have to pay back the debt，Enjoys temperatures above 20°C year-round, along with a 10,000-kilometer six-lane highway network in both directions (fully access-controlled, supporting an average speed of 140 km/h) and 6,400 kilometers of railway, over half of which supports average speeds exceeding 200 km/h
And all of this comes at the cost of leaving inland provinces completely desolate and desertified… executing a powerful siphon on the population, especially highly educated talent

As for government debt, Russia's is at 20%, whereas China's is at 200%.
Its economic strength speaks for itself

Could it be that a mere country like Italy has twice the economic strength of Guangdong Province? From our perspective, they are nothing more than white beggars

If govt really accept the 2nd point then Indian Republic will officially becomes a mobocracy.

In that case, how will indian nationalist and patriots will speak against terrorism(as defined by indian law) ?

Isn't in that case, it will be just hypocrisy, protestors do violence against RAF and police for resignation then its fine, but if people/residents do violence to get independence or to take over govt then it's bad.

But i guess, human civilization is hypocrite at it's core.

Humanity was/is/will always about self interest and not justice or righteous.

Brother, did you seriously think this would sound normal. Cringe inducing. The words "keyboard warriors" is more apt. People went out in the real world and made real change.

Isn't in that case, it will be just hypocrisy, protestors do violence against RAF and police for resignation then its fine, but if people/residents do violence to get independence or to take over govt then it's bad.

Ah yes, it was the students who retaliated. Not the police force that used pellet guns to blind people. Forget this, police are picking up relatives of the students. You want to defend this autocratic regime that cannot handle dissent???

Humanity was/is/will always about self interest and not justice or righteous.

Its incredible. People will defend this autocratic regime until they are personally affected. Modi's crackdown on students will haunt him. His days are numbered.
