Russian invasion of Ukraine

I can’t remember seeing anything about the ‘big’ ones, since the early days of the invasion.They’ve used loads of bombers? We saw loads of Tu-160 and Tu-94 sightings early in the war launching cruise missiles.
I’m guessing that along with their navy, ‘numbers of units’ does not equal ‘number of units that are in a state to be used’

The Russians never ended up getting air superiority which has enabled Ukraine to come back at them. The air defence systems they have been provided with by NATO have helped massively with that. As it gets to winter both sides won’t be able to move artillery and rocket systems round the battlefield as easily, wonder if the F16s they have been promised will come into play dropping bombs on Russian positions.

Are they getting F16’s ? I know it’s possibly the simplest western fighter/ground attack aircraft, but it’s still very different to the soviet/Russian aircraft their infrastructure, training and actual pilots are used to.The Russians never ended up getting air superiority which has enabled Ukraine to come back at them.
