In light of Russia effortlessly bombing the fuck out of the Ukraine, can we finally acknowledge the following:

Putin was holding back the entire time
the only rational explanation for his restraint was that he wanted to minimize civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure
this desire to minimize collateral damage makes Putin a better man than all of the Western commanders who indiscriminately carpet bombed their enemies in virtually every major conflict since WW2
at this point, if Western media are speaking, they’re lying
everyone on this board who thought the Ukraine was winning this war, or that Russia was somehow outmatched, is a fucking retard

Yes! It is weird how they think Russian weapons are somehow superior. I remember how these people used to have boners preaching the superiority of the Russian weapons years ago. Then peddle the excuse when these weapons failed that it was either "monkey models" or bad training of the army who employed them. Now we now that they all suck. The best evidence until 2022 was when Russia attacked Israel, and both sides fought for a brief period of time in the 70s. Russia failed miserably then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rimon_20

Egyptian military leaders were pleased with the outcome of the battle because the Soviets had long been criticizing Egypt's aerial losses to Israel and attributing them to a lack of skill among Egyptian fighter pilots. The Soviets kept quiet about the incident so as to avoid the embarrassment of their defeat. It was one of the final engagements of the War of Attrition and is widely believed to have contributed to its conclusion.

And remember that the Mirage IIIs were interceptors, not designed for dogfights(which the Israelis somehow managed to do and be very successful at it), while the MiG-21 was very agile.

I am sure that if Ukraine gets even the early Abrams model that destroyed the Iraqi T-72 brigade, they will wipe the floor with the rusted carcass of the T-72/80/90 they will destroy.
