nah NATO would own the skies pretty hard. Different story vs. China, but Russia's aerospace forces are a shadow of the USSR's.

Russia's AA has been seriously degraded -- still more than enough to dominate the AFU's aircraft, but not a real airforce -- and Ukraine's limited AA has been enough to check the VVS's air dominance.

there is a reason its mostly a ground war involving disposable drones.
