Tweet says "Use of military aviation along line of contact may indicate deterioration of Ukraine's air defenses" but Bristoe reads, and subsequently declares, that "Russia owns the sky over Ukraine."

That's his idea of facts.


If Russia owned the sky...this would have been a three day special operation.

Ok Patton.

We completely owned the skies in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Syria, Somalia, Yemen and bombed the schit out of civilians to establish flourishing democracies. How did that work out for the US? lol

I won't pretend to know a damn thing about fighters or how air supremacy ties into strategic war planning, but an important distinction here is that we 'invaded' those countries as liberators, not conquerors. If we had intended to conquer, those conflicts would have been waged and ended MUCH differently.

Due to the tactics used, I am guessing Russia's real intent was to totally conquer Ukraine, and has failed to do so due to whatever conspiracy theory a guy wants to dream up.
