Experts recognized the superiority of Russian air defense over US aircraft
According to a study by Australian think tank Air Power Australia, the funds Defense Russia has reached a level that virtually eliminates the possibility of survival aviation US Air Force in the event of a military conflict. According to the director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, Ruslan Pukhov, the superiority of Russian air defense systems over American aircraft is explained historical factors.
Air Power Australia published another study that compared the capabilities of Russian air defense and US military aircraft. According to him, not only the American F-15, F-16 and F / A-18 combat aircraft are not able to withstand Russian air defense, but even the promising fifth-generation multipurpose fighter of the fifth generation Joint Strike Fighter, also known as the F-35 Lightning II.

As stated February 6 "RIA News"Russian expert Ruslan Pukhov, the superiority of Russian air defense over foreign, in particular, American aircraft, is explained by historical factors. According to him," during the cold war, Soviet aircraft lagged behind their foreign counterparts in their tactical and technical characteristics (TTX), therefore even then the Soviet military leadership focused on the development of air defense systems in order to compensate for the shortcomings of aviation. "
He believes that Russia's "latest air defense systems and complexes are significantly ahead of their foreign counterparts." According to him, a striking example of this is the Russian anti-aircraft missile S-300 systems and especially S-400. "In addition, it is precisely because of the awareness of the fact of the S-300 system's advantage over American F-15, F-16 and F-18 aircraft that the US reacts so painfully to information reports about possible deliveries of these systems to Iran," Pukhov said.

According to Pukhov, evidence of the recognition of the superiority of Russian air defense systems is the rush demand for these systems in the world. Long-range systems C-300 purchased by China, Slovakia, Vietnam, Cyprus. Short-range and medium-range air defense systems and complexes such as Thor, Buk, Tunguska were delivered, in particular, to China, Iran, India, Greece, Syria, Egypt, Finland, and Morocco.
Air Power Australia researchers also concluded that since the end of the cold war, Russian engineers have been able to achieve significant results in the modernization of air defense. They note that the Russian ZRS X-NUMX Triumph today has virtually no analogues in the world. At the same time, it greatly surpasses the American Patriot systems in its capabilities.

According to experts, the only reliable F-22 Raptor can be considered the only reliable multi-purpose fighter of the USAF today. The US strategic mistake will be to stop the production of F-22.
