USAF and RuAF Fleet strength
Let’s start with a little bit of heroic (maybe slightly biased) videos from both sides. The Americans are further down.
The US Air Force has since the end of the second world war been regarded as the supreme air force of the world, but with its increased spending in the middle east and the Russian military budget having increased a lot over the last two decades, how does the air forces look compared to each other? In this article, we will take a look into the two biggest air forces in the world: USAF and Russia’s Air Force!

US and Russia defence spending
Now, what can we deduce from the table? Well, first of all, we can obviously see that the US has more aircraft overall, actually more than double the amount of Russia. But why is there such a huge difference? One of the reasons is the military budget. To show this I have here a graph showing the military spending of Russia and the US over the last 22 years. 
The real differences in strength
B-2 Spirit
But even though the United States spends more money on its air force than Russia there are a lot of things to contrast between the two. For instance, the fact that Russia has more bombers than the US is rather interesting. One of the main reasons for this is that Russia has many old bombers still in service that are cheap, instead of spending their money on new, costly projects to create the “bombers of tomorrow”. Russia’s main bombers are still the Tupolev 95(Introduced in 1956), Tupolev 160 (introduced in 1981) and the Tupolev 22M (introduced in 1972). Even though many of them have been upgraded since they came in service, the cost can not be compared to both the development cost as well as the unit cost of some of the extreme US projects like the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bomber. As an example, the unit cost of a Tupolev 160 is about $40mill while the one of the Northrop Grumman B-2 is over $2 billion each (unit cost USD 737m – total program cost as of 2004 USD 44.75b with only 21 aircraft produced).
The same idea goes with the fighters but here the US really flexes its muscles by having not only more but also more expensive jet fighters than Russia has. The most recent US multirole fighter is the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (first flight 2006) and the Russian is the Sukhoi-35 (2008). While the cost of the F-35 is around $125 mill, the Su-35 only cost $50 mill. So the fact that the USAF has more expensive and at the same time almost the double amount of jets than Russia has, could explain why the United State’s military budget is so comparatively high Look at the table below for more information about the different concepts of the air forces.
Early Warning aircraft, or as many call it “Eyes in the sky” are aircraft with the capability to scan the area around itself looking for incoming aircraft, like a mobile radar station. Since you usually have permanent radar stations on the ground, the early warning aircraft is only (almost) used with aircraft carriers and amphibious warfare ships. Because the US has 19 aircraft carriers compared to Russia’s only one, and 31 amphibious warfare ships in contrast to Russia’s two there is an obvious reason to why the US’s need of AEWACs is much greater than Russia’s currently is.
Transports and tankers are used by all nations, but they are obviously not used as much if the country uses a big part of its military force as a defence as if it operates a lot in another country or on another continent. Because the US maintains a world-spanning network of military bases, protects trade routes worldwide and with the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, they need to transport their troops and supplies great distances, which is why they have such a bigger number of transports and tankers than Russia has.
Trainers are used as can be easily figured to train pilots. There is basically only one reason why the US Air Force has so many more training aeroplanes: the extreme amount of personnel. The Russian air force has approximately 140 000 persons involved at the moment, while the USAF has almost 700 000! This means that the latter has to train a lot more persons and therefore needs a lot more training jets.
The Russian Mi Mil 26 lifting a Boeing CH-47 Chinook.
When we now come to the rotary wing aircraft the reason to why the two countries have such big differences are mainly two things. The first one is that the United States use most of their helicopters as a part of the navy/army and the second one is that Russia has put much more effort and money in their helicopter business which is proven for instance by the world’s heaviest lifting helicopter – the Russian Mi Mil 26.
Now to conclude this comparison there are some things that are needed to be said. The USAF spend such enormous amounts on their military each year that it is almost impossible to compare it with another country. But since Russia has the second greatest air force in the world there can be some conclusions drawn of how the air forces compare to each other as can be seen above. USAF’s idea is to develop aeroplanes that cost a lot, while Russia instead focuses on making many cheap aircraft, just like Josef Stalin’s famous quote (some say it was actually used by Lenin before):
Quantity has a quality all its own.
This is a comparison made not to show the “best” air force but instead to point out what the countries have spent their money and time on and how this has shaped them into what they are today, and how surprisingly different they are when you look deeply into it.

USA high-end planes completely outnumber Russia’s.
You can’t fight F-22 with dated Kukuruziks.
Even if russia pours all its budget to develop a very good plane, they have them in laughable numbers.
very funny
But last time the Americans went full air to air combat they got massacred by the Russians by their cheap nasty MiG’s. Even in the 90’s retro fitted Mig’s built in Europe made the state of the art American air crafts look bad!
Not true. Look at the gulf war of 91. Iraqs Russian planes were easily defeated. Israel uses US planes and has won every war with the Arabs. Not to mention how many Russian planes were shot down in Vietnam Nam and Korea.
I think you should pull your head out of your arse, with all the flash gear they’ve taken into different conflicts around the world, they still get their arses kicked by guys wearing straw hats, car tire sandals, or peasants in the hills of Afghanistan so what flash gear you have means nothing
The key reason why no one has won a war in the mid east yet is: there are rules of engagement in war these days.
if America or Russia did a combination of blitzkrieg and scorched earth and just killed every damn adult male Muslim instead of picking and choosing who to kill we could have won the stupid mid east war in 1 year instead of Losing even after 10 years
Really ? Peasents in the hill , equipped with stingers or modern iglas. Never have USA lose a single jet in Afghanistan. Check your brain and facts before speaking up.
You list no attack aircraft. The a10 is the usaf attack aircraft
We the USA lose wars from internal issues such as political reasons. You piss us off bad enough you might wake the sleeping giant again. When we get mad and have had enough you will know, I guarantee it
In Vietnam there were heavy losses only due to the (mistaken) idea that missiles were the future, and therefore they were designed with less manoeuvrability and guns. Put up against the old-style MiGs, the Vietnamese won many engagements.
Also, the people fighting in Afghanistan were hardly peasants – they had soviet equipment and technology as well.
Not to mention the stealth jet the Serbians shot down w antique Russian SAM
Wrong! Vietnam, despite its communist gov, absolutely would NOT join China, N.K., & Rus. They would likely try to remain neutral, but would tend towards the US.
1) Diplomatic relations between US & Vietnam have come a long way since the war, inc trade.
2) Like many countries of the Asia Pacific, they’ve also been engaged in disputes w/ China’s claims to the geographical region.
Don’t forget the it wasn’t the Russia that “freed the world” in WWII, it was the Soviet Union which collapsed. They also couldn’t have held up against the Germans w/o the massive # of shipments from the US of materiál.
Next N.K. Poses no strategic military threat, they would only serve as a tactical threat if nukes were launched. Even then, they have nothing reliable nor accurate.
Russia IS IN TROUBLE atm as a matter of fact. They are getting their ass whooped by a bunch of rag tag land defenders WITH American “flash gear”.
So…Where is China & NK ? Hmm, that’s right. But, guarantee this- should any one of those countries mess w/ the US, they will be facing 30 other countries by default. …NATO.
It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot, genius!
ideots.as if the Iraqis could fly a kite .thats the difference.un serviced planes and wank pilots couldn’t win a war in any kit .think about it .also the russian ga defence’s will take out 2out of 5 everytime .
What are you talking about the americans have outkilled russian planes since ww2. We were even flying some of our ww2 planes against their jets in the vietnam war.
Are you implying that the F35 flying penguin can take an SU-57?
Yes, and while flying backwards and while on auto-pilot….
No but Us would overwhelm Russia in all out war with multiple shock and awe mitigation……silky silly man.
Who k own it never happen yet I say yes f35 will be dected by the s 400 blown out scythe can’t dog fight rapter most Def would loose25 year old junk
The F-35 was not designed to be the best dog-fighter. The F-22 Raptor out classes them all as a head-to-head dog fighter including the F-35. These two planes were meant to work together with the F-35 used to strike ground targets while at the same time maintaining it’s ability to be a pretty damn good air-to-air fighter. The F-22, however, out performs them all in air-to-air dog fight.
With all this in mind, let them attack a NATO member and they’ll find out .
It didn’t end well did it – some American ground-attack planes were taken down with small arms fire
You’re so gay.
no u
Russia cannot even take Ukraine. Get the fuck outta here.
Really ? When ? In Vietnam? 90% of American loses were due to AAA not MiGs. MiGs were wiped out when they dare to attack American forces. One of the major factor in developing stealth plane was to made the AAA useless. In Iraq the hitech planes of US wipe out the Iraqi MiGs . Only one F18 was shot down in air to air combat and about 60 plane due to the AAA. So lesson learned. Since the 90 US is able to strike with impunity whenever they want.
fellas, how about the copycats Chinese with their growing fleet.
l think they outrank the Ruskies and are secound to Yankees.
U.S. can, and would, defeat anybody in air-to-air combat. Oligarchs stole defense money, just like put it in my ass putin did, for the last 3 decades from russian taxes. Slava Ukraini, fuck russia, WE SHOULD JUST ERASE THE KREMLIN ALREADY TO PROVE A POINT THAT THERE WON’T EVER BE ANOTHER hitler ALLOWED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. put it in my ass putin is hitler 2.0. The world would be safer without him. Kill him, Ukrainians have nothing left to fear. Neither does the world.
you poor poor soul, they got destroyed then, what makes you think they would get destroyed now with the countless updates they have…
Last time you mention is during Gulf War and we saw that how even 3rd generation us fighters wiped out entire ıraqi air force ,equipped with mig29s,mig23s,mig25s,su22,su23s,su27s
What mushroom pile did you face plant?
Not so as it started out that way as Americans aren’t the animals looking for war as the only thing their men can do or should be going. Still the greatest miscalculation of all wars including the one to come is underestimating the American will by watching its pathetic liberals whining about having to work or sex as their life’s prime metric. America is like Rocky – time for Russian men to grow up and quit being the cattle for the aristocracy. We’ve have more in common than not. War – fir those of you who never have fought in one let alone clown in one, please take your comments to the gaming sites.
that’s why they develop S500 and S600
The world should not forget that the Russian’s freed the world to end World War 2. Just imagine the technology the Russians have today as they were first to travel in space. Why doesn’t anyone try the “Big Bear”. If Russia was in trouble, China, North Korea and Vietnam would be happy to help against Fasists like USA and England.
Hey Patak – Russia didn’t win WW II idiot. Allied strategic bombing and Lend-Lease did Sport….
Hey Patak.
keep to making the curry mate lol.
The US and EUROPE Run the world so fuck off and do as your told batty boy lol
But in anti-aircraft missile Russia is much better than the US. American jet fighters can be easily shutdown by S-400, S-500 and even S-300 systems! American Patriot is not as good as S-400!
Moreover, the weapon itself is not much important, rather braveness and intelligence of the user of the weapon is much more important! Russians are really brave. They have proved in WW2.
Americans are coward and are highly relay on their weapons!
In a real war Russia will win for sure!
War is fought by the plebeians. The puppet masters fight with a phone in a secure location. War is terrible. China, Russia and the USA could ruin this good earth for all mankind.
Americans are cowards? You’re FOS.
We fought against overwhelming odds for our independence. There was no draft in WWI or WWII… Americans stood in line to volunteer to fight… and Americans won… saving Europe, especially France’s unappreciative ass.
Korea… fought again with mostly volunteer force against N. Korea AND China. ( Note: Americans saved China’s unappreciative ass from Japan in WWII)
Aside from America’s mistake getting involved in Vietnam…. American soldiers fought bravely when only South Vietnam wanted them too.
Today, America’s armed forces are entirely volunteer…. I’d like to see you walk up to an American serviceman and call them a “coward”…
Lol. Y’all can’t even beat Ukraine….
The warriors of WWII are gone. What remains are less capable the grandsons of Ghengis Khan.
You are all stupid. War is not the answer, and building all these machines to kill each other is a ridiculous venture. As Isaac Asimov demonstrated in the Foundation Trilogy, trade is the answer, not pointless battle. Grow up!
OMG, why are you still believing that US has more air-to-air power because of years of scientific achievements and not comparing with real-life military comparison such as destroyed targets, safiest escape units, hell-trained units (and really, TeamSix cannot be compared with traditional russian special force units), etc. Ageing of aero-combat planes is not neccesary to discuss because they are upgrading year by year, only visual status is the same as 30 years before. USA, take care, I told you – big fan of AIR combat community, NOT RUSSIAN!
The US would destroy Russia AF mostly because of it pure numbers but the Russians build some dam good jets ! but in today race, it all about stealth teck ! you can win a war if you cant see um and you really can’t see them.
They only got 172 Raptors
You dont know what are you talking about …. did you ever se in person a russian Sukoj ??
I hope Europe does its best to be on good terms with Russia. America plays its part with good diplomacy around the world.
In the Iraq Iran War, Iraq was flying Russian mig’s and Iran was flying at the time almost state-of-the-art F-14 which at that time were fully functional.
It was no contest. Iran destroyed so many Iraq mig’s that the migs would no longer contest them when they were in the sky
Unfortunately America has lost just about every war since the Korean War, The Cuban War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan War and the Iraqi War to mention some. The Russians have a very powerful history were the Americans can only dream and keep on dreaming truthfully enough. Despite Americas superiority, the Russians would effectively initiate America if it came down to it lets be honest here okay.” The Russians just have it in their genes naturally to be tough fighters when it comes to war! The Americans are all talk and no real action as we’ve seen time and time again haven’t we?! The USA, the greatest sorest losers of all time arguably enough. But the Russians do have the best nukes and the most powerful right now it has to be said.” America, just keep on sponsoring ISIS and other affiliated terrorist groups to do their dirty work since their military is incapable of getting the job done from start to finish okay?!
Hey Vlad go home your country is trash hahahaha
Dang you. AMERICAN PRIDE!
Vladimir,
It’s apparent that you don’t like the United States, and considering the actions of our government over the past twenty years I can’t blame you. I didn’t vote for ANY of these corrupt idiots that have governed American foreign policy from the late Clinton years thru G. W. Bush and Obummer. So please don’t blame me.
Now to Americans being, as you’d say, “Paper Tigers”. I’m afraid you are sadly misinformed. Outnumbered more than 2-to-1 we killed almost 1,000,000 Chinese and North Koreans in less than three years during the early 1950s while suffering less than 60,000 killed. We utterly destroyed the Viet Cong and kicked the NVA’s ass during EVERY standing battle of the Vietnam War. But we lost the political will to continue fighting in a civil war that we never should have entered.
In every standing battle of the Iraq War we destroyed those who opposed us.
As for nuclear weapons, our Trident SLBMs are the absolute best in terms of range, accuracy and destructive power. Period.
And while Minuteman III is a very effective weapons system the current new production models of Russian ICBMs are probably superior.
Russia is a great nation and it was Russia that tore the guts out of the Nazi German war machine. While we helped it was Russia that did the heavy work in the European theater of WW II. So you have my respect and I hope that our two countries may somehow revert to the friendly relations that existed during the 1800s and early 1900s.
But this talk of nuclear war is insane. In such an event there will be no “winner”.
You underestimate American resolve and determination based on the stupidity of our politicians. The American people are tired of war and I know the Russian people are as well. Think of what our two great nations could do together. I’m a 17 year veteran of my nation’s military and I never wanted to go to war against Russia. Not because I fear your great nation but because of the lives that would be lost on all sides. A true warrior doesn’t want to fight but only as a last resort. Ask the warriors in your military. The American people don’t hate the Russian people. I think you will find a most formidable opponent when the American people rally to a cause they all believe is.That has only happened once since WW II.The world saw what America and it’s allies could do. Each of our nation’s have incredibly powerful militaries. I understand it’s a matter of pride who has the best air force as it should be. Do innocent people have to die just to prove a point set by our politicians.?So if you want to prove who has the best do so in competition instead of war.
Americans are cowards?
We fought against overwhelming odds for our independence. There was no draft in WWI or WWII… Americans stood in line to volunteer to fight… and Americans won… saving Europe, especially France’s unappreciative ass.
Korea… fought again with mostly volunteer force against N. Korea AND China. ( Note: Americans saved China’s unappreciative ass from Japan in WWII)

Only an insane moron wants war and the resulting loss of life. Both Russia and the US are extremely capable in the war department.
One day we may be allies again against a far greater adversary..
How did the Cold War turn out for Russia? And Afghanistan? Got their asses handed to them.
Russian airforce cannot compare with americans… american is so strong that they will against the rest of the world… fuck russia lol…
Russian history – got beat by every major army that invaded them, and got saved by the winter and burning their own cities to the ground to starve them out.
The USA would get anilated if it ever tried to invade Russia by land if it could talk a European nation into letting them attack from there. I am almost certain also that the USA would find it very difficult to resupply from the USA. Russia of course could not even consider invading the USA It just does not have the Navy and production capacity to resupply. The US Aircraft Carriers are useless against Russia so the US has to do it from another nation in Europe. The Russians have proved it time and time again over centuries. They are a great land power and will fight to the last man and woman to defend there Mother land.
Russia, great fighters on the ground? They couldn’t beat Afghanistan. They was at war with them from 1979-1989.
The only reason Russia lost to the Afghanis in the 80’s was because the CIA was supplying the mujahadine with hundreds of stinger missiles. Those stingers were destroying Russian helicopters and tanks.
Your sense of character, geography and history are flawed. Having probably never met an American, you can be forgiven your lack of understanding of the American character, however, there are interesting examples in history of unexpected turns of events based on daring, imagination and geography. I can see this potential in the US-Russia situation. But I would not point it out to you.
If we are talking about defending the homeland, neither the US or Russia is likely to ever be invaded and captured by a foreign power for any number of reasons. Russia might be defeated by China simply because of geography. As far as civilian forces go,the US population has more arms and ammo in hand than most nations.
100 million civilians armed with bows and arrows would be formidable, but given some of the finest firearms ever built, they would make operating in the US a very difficult task unless the power was willing to utterly destroy the country with nukes which kind of makes invading pointless.
Russia could not invade the US ever. The US might under the right circumstances invade and capture parts of Russia using its allies in Europe, but even that is doubtful because either nation that sees it is being defeated would use nukes and that’s not going to work out well for anyone.
Russia is a great Army defending its homeland, bit like everyone else who invaded the Afgans, they got their asses handed to them..
Both countries have issues
Russia has a conscript military ..not as good as volunteer army
The US has an ego issue ,..they talk a great job but..
Russia has quality issues with technical support
The US is too high tech..
Trouble is any US -Russia conflict will end is mutual destruction……no winners
The worlds best military despite underfunding is the British 🙂
Bro every aircraft has its unique abilities for example Russia has the fastest interceptor while the U.S does not but has effective and functional fighter aircraft’s. USA has wide variety of planes but has zero attackers while in Russia they have many bombers than USA . Both countries are powerful to defend themselves but they have their own advantages and disadvantages according to me but the differences come according to their planes advantages so they are just powerful countries
The US literally had 11 active carrier strike groups that can attack anywhere on the planet. Rusda has none capable of anything but coastal protection. Cant be used as offensive force. Sooo……….. we can put literally 1000 jets over your skies pretty much when we want that dont have to come from our mainland. Just saying bro. Thats half your airforce and thats just our super carriers in the navy. Forget about our airforce
So true…. American carrier groups are undeniably very powerful forces unto themselves.
The United States has already placed weapons in space! The United States is the only country in the world to place A MAN on the moon! The United States is the first country to develop a nuclear weapon! The United States is the first country to develop stealth aircraft. I can go on and on. Use your brains. The United States is literally decades more advanced than anyone outside of ultra top secret clearance has knowledge. Think about this, THE UNITED STATES HAD A AIRCRAFT NAMED THE SR-71 BLACK BIRD WHICH WAS BUILT AND OPERATIONAL IN 1966! THE SPEED OF THE SR-71 WAS MACH 3 – THREE TIMES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND DURING THE 60’s. HERE WE ARE NOW, DECADES LATER, AND IM SURE YOU KNOW HOW TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES! READ MY FRIENDS, THE UNITED STATES FIGHTER JETS ARE NOW OUTFITTED WITH NOT ONLY BULLETS, ROCKETS, MISSILES, BOMBS, BUT NOW LASERS!!! CHINA AND RUSSIA HAVE BEEN BOASTING THEIR ADVANCEMENT IN HYPERSONIC MISSILES, WHICH TRAVEL AROUND MACH 5, AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE LASER WEAPONS WHICH TARVEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT! Do a little research on a top secret United States aircraft named “AURORA”. THE AURORA IS A AIRCRAFT THAT MADE DEVELOPED BY THE UNITED STATES THAT FLIES FASTER THAN CHINAS AND RUSSIA HYPERSONIC MISSILES, AND FASTER THAN ANY AIRCRAFT THAT CHINA AND RUSSIA CURRENTLY HAS IN OPERATIONS! SHALL I GO ON? LOOK UP PROGRAM “STARLINK”, ITS A SYSTEM THAT IS ALREADY IN DEVELOPMENT, AND WILL ALLOW THE UNITED STATES THE ABILITY TO INTERCEPT AND DESTROY ANYTHING ON EARTH AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT AND ON ANY PLACE ON EARTH AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
You are just a dumb russian fag who made that stupid fucking comment while being reamed by your boyfriend.
you are the fag
I am sorry , but did you win in Afghanistan? Or did you leave Afghanistan with your tail between your legs? You were very lucky in WW2 that the nazies were total bonckers and we didn’t want to risk loosing Europe to him. You won on WW2 only with our help. Did you get back Ukraine? No? were is the red army? drinking vodka . Next time mujik see you place.
I’m not sure that the Korean War should be counted as a loss. No-one ever surrendered, and it just kind of ended. Also, if you’re seriously saying that Russians are “bred for war” and that all Americans are lazy pigs, you’ve got another thing coming. The U.S. Marine’s training is the toughest in the world. Only the best of the best even dream of becoming Marines. Also, while I will admit that the Russians are masters of industry, one F-22 could easily take out a dozen MiGs from miles away. They’re just too advanced. I can’t really talk about the F-35, and I don’t really have an opinion on it yet, but it looks like it’s going to be pretty darn good. Also, nukes aren’t really part of the equation here. Yeah, the Russians still have the largest bomb ever detonated, (Tsar Bomba) but if the U.S. and Russia had a nuke fest, there would be no winner, we would literally destroy the planet.
Marines best of the best????????
sas, spetznaz, grom, Green beret, seals and delta force are all better than marines, hell marines are bassically the navy equivalent of army grunts “”nothing special””
And what has Russia won? Small conflicts with small countries. Modern Russia/Soviet Union didn’t like getting into direct fights, and used puppet states, kinda like America. The thing is, Russia has lost a few fights as well:
Tutarbunary Uprising (1942): Yeah, you lost in ONE YEAR.
Spanish Civil War (1937-1939): Supported the Spanish, lost to the insurgents.
Winter War (1939-1940): The Fins kicked your asses.
First Chechen War (1994-1996): Flat out DEFEAT
There have also been a lot of “DRAWS”. No country is perfect. Don’t pretend that either one is.
You are the dumbest person I’ve ever come across
The Cuban war didn’t start , if iT did then we would’nt even be able to speak right now , not to forget that Russia lost it’s wars with Afghanistan. They won the Korean war tho , I’d say a 50/50 on the Korean war. Us and Russia can destroy each other with Nuclear war , no one wins that war. The only reason The Eu and USA didn’t take part to defend Crimea was because Russia threatend them with Nuclear war if they did engage.
you sound like a russian nationalist. russia losses in every form. Land, sea, space, air. ruusia can’t support a U.S. invasion regarless because you have a single aircraft carrier. thats nothing compared to the us. You say russians have it in their blood but thats just a way of saying they are un experienced and havent ever been in a real dogfight or war yet, their parents or grandparents might have. Lets not leave out americas cruise missles along with destroyers, frigites, submarines, or andvance radar and targeting system in the F-35. Oh and russia is the one that sponsers ISIS and terrorist because every single weapon you see them use is russian made (AK, air to air systems, RPG’s, ur a Hippocrit and too foolish to see that. The u.s. military is trained to fight 2 wars at the SAME time. all you got is siberia lol.
Russian has no money
Go eat some bread and drink some vodka.afghanistan kicked you out.p.s you economy sucks
Your a idiot, you dont have any knowledge on warfare all your doing is talking out your a**. We have the strongest nukes and it’s not about trr he jets anymore idiot it’s all drones now and our missile technology is accurate to 4 ft of target displayed. One more thing our special units are on a whole different level then Russia. You must be a Democrat I bet lol because you dont know what the hell your talking about
Russia may have better nukes and what not but if Russia entered a war with the USA they would effectively be entering a war with the UN, which consists of some of the strongest nations in the world. Also with America’s huge ass naval fleet and its army, we would absolutely destroy Russia. An aerial battle with the USA would devastate Russia’s air force which in turn would effectively take Russia’s air force out of commission. With no air force, they really couldn’t protect against our superior naval. We would win just due to having many more naval vessels. Also, the USA has a much more modern means of taking out incoming nukes than Russia. With rail guns and lasers we could easily take out almost all nukes sent our way. If we decided to outfit our Lockheed SR-71 blackbirds with nuclear weapons systems we could easily decimate Russia due to being the fastest planes in the world. We could wipe Mosco, and all of your nuclear stock piles, off the face of the Earth before you guys even hit you.
And what about our Lockheed AC-130A Spectre guns ships? One of those can take out an entire convoy of 20-30 tanks, many batteries of SA-6 and SA-8 surface-to-air missiles, and 37mm and 57mm radar-guided anti-aircraft artillery, and we have 47 of them. I doubt Russia has that much power in gunships. We can absolutely destroy Russia. Also, the USA has many, many, nuclear weapon proof bases. If they bomb us we can easily survive and wipe them off the map. Sorry Russia, you all suck.
US could send the girl scouts armed with shooters and Russias ass
Wow, you are hating America. Yes, I admire many things about Russia. Your art, music, including ballet. You have brilliant people…and we all come from the same ancestors. And your country fought like no other in WWII, very brave and proud. I’d rather we bury all swords and we would all live happier and financially, too. God bless you@
Oh yeah Russia did soooo great in Afghanistan. They got whipped like step children and ran out. The Americans left because it’s a waste of money. As far as the Iraq war ask Saddam about that one. Oh yea you can’t. America did to Iraq in a month what Russian backed Iran couldn’t do in 12 years of war. Get your facts right.
umm you got it backwards it was US that backed Iran against Irag we supplied the weapons and F 15 to Iran. While Irag was flying those migs.
Lol, comrade. This didn’t age well. Ukraine is kicking Russia’s ass with 1/10th the firepower. Russia is a second rate “power. If it weren’t for nukes, the US would be in there kicking some russian ass. We actually follow international law and don’t indiscriminatetley waist civilians. I know we are ressponible for civilian deaths in the middle east but they are never the target. Russia doesn’t GAF. If we did the same, we would never lose a war. Russia is done. putin has turned Russia into a pariah. I hope we keep sanctions until that piece of crap is out of power. I have no problem with the Russian people. They deserver better.
We’ve never tried to win a war since WW2. The only goal is to destabilize and knock back a particular region by a decade or two. If they are not going to be Allie’s (Germany, Japan), damn their economy. Take the oil and smile while they dust their knees off. WTF is winning?
Can’t help but laugh at all the ignorant people who seriously think the Russian Airforce would stand a chance.
The United States Airforce is the greatest Airforce in the world always has been always will be. Please take your Russian comments and your loser country somewhere else. Good day Lol
Im with you on that Zach sounds like vlad has his panties in a bunch USA best in everything we do id whoop Vlads ass for his stupid ass comment
Despite the US spending significantly more on military/defense than Russia – people exclude the vital point that things in Russia are much less expensive than they are here. Russia pays its military personnel less than the US does but more importantly, Russia doesn’t attempt to POLICE THE WORLD to keep its global empire going… People don’t realize that RUSSIA SPENDS ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH (PERCENTAGE-WISE) ON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT IN THE MILITARY SPHERE THAN THE US DOES BECAUSE MOST OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS DEDICATED TO DEFENSE GOES MERELY TOWARD MAINTENANCE. The US has over 1,000 military bases in nearly 190 countries (give or take according to different sources) and most of the military budget goes towards maintenance which is why Russia is like 10-20 years ahead in rocketry technology (for example, has new ICBMs & SLBMs designed to maneuver in course AND altitude and overcome ANY FORESEEABLE-FUTURE MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM) and numerous other technologies. I have researched this for years & years and Russia is far ahead in numerous aspects and has newer & better armament in many spheres but what it doesn’t have is the manufacturing capability of the US. Therefore, although there are a multitude of new/next-gen weapons Russia produces, their production goes much slower compared to the US. Nevertheless, Putin is upgrading Russia’s military to new, next-gen weapons and if you compare nuclear weapons/missiles, you’ll see that Russian missiles ARE DECADES newer than American. The only US ICBM is the Minuteman 3 (LGM-30) which dates back from the early 60s while in the past decade, Russia has produced new ICBMs & SLBMs such as RS-24 YARS, Topol-M, Sarmat (Satan-2) in development ICBMs along with Bulava RSM-56, Sineva, & Layner SLBMs. Also, Russian bombers are typically newer than American because the vast majority of American bombers are B-52’s which are half a century old while the Russian T-160 and T-22s are decades newer.
The Russian Government has literally stated that the only way to stop the U.S. in open conflict would be with TACTICAL NUKES. Also, despite ALL of that “research money” (vodka tasting contests) the Russian Military has yet to produce a 5th Gen fighter.
Newer doesn’t equal better, and I believe you just overlooked a few B-2s B-21s, and B-1s.
The entire world could declair war on the united states tomorrow and still no country would ever occupy north american mainland territory. We would form a defensice wall with our carrier groups and subs. Once the abrims started rolling over the mexican and canadian boarders there would be immediate surrender. We would lock down the entire continent down to the panama canal, running protective scout missions along the coast lines 24/7. We would Cruise missile every single offensive target that could possably pose a threat, run around the clock bombing and drone strikes the likes of which eould be unpresidented. We would send anti satalite missles into space and destroy all non american spy satalites, and this is all without using any nuclear icbms. Of which believe me we have plenty.
No country could invade the continental US… because of the reasons stated above, as well the reasoning that Yamamoto stated during WWII….
“There is a gun behind every blade of grass in America”
Millions & millions of “well armed” citizens.
You leave out key details like how the U.S. have maintained and upgraded their B-52 bombers and even then, the U.S. most likely would use multi role fighters for airstrikes instead of a bombing. All i’m saying is new missiles don’t win wars, amount of troops and training, naval fleets, Planes and training, and recent experiences ( the U.S. and Iran, ISIS, Iraq, and Afghanistan ) help win wars. The U.S. are the peacekeepers and that takes money and time to do, Russia doesn’t have to worry about maintaining countries who can’ maintain them self.
Reality: A war with Russia would totally depend on who is playing chess. Our military taking orders from Trump would be a plus for us. Right? After all he knows more than the generals.
it’s abit silly to suggest Americas airforce can beat Russia’s when russia has the backing of china, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, turkey, and most of south America too.
your also forgetting none of Americas jets can fly from the USA to moscow. the only way America can beat russia is by using nukes but Russia has those too. so it’s pointless even discussing this silly war stuff between USA and Russia.
who got there first big boy .
i think the word is hypersonic .
and the American radars can’t even see them so thats a 100%kill rate .not bad eh for a bunch of dumb eathens. 😁
You pro Russian uneducated idiots with your comparisons. Russian forces were thrown out of Afghanistan by hillside tribesmen with rocks and world ww1 riffles. Maybe you just forgot this!! A nd now your brave pilots are bombing hospitals and schools in Syria. Mig SU 35 against ambulances filled with mutilated infants. How proud all you Russian nationalists must feel.
Would love to see how long the USA would last if Russia trained Terrorists and sent them into Afghanistan with say 10,000 Shoulder Launched SAMs and another 10,000 TOWs. That is what the USA did to the USSR when they went into Afghanistan. The US can’t even get on top of the Taliban with no Shoulder Launched SAMs and no TOWs. Can’t even beat them with there old rifles and homemade improvised explosives. A bag of fertiliser with a detonator. What a pitifull effort. You do realise don’t you the USA bought every black market Shoulder Launched SAM they could for the Taliban and when they got scarce sent in 5,000 Stingers. All done by the CIA. Typical USA way of fighting. Did it in Syria and Libya again. Putin has warned you. Stop doing that or Russia will do it back to the USA. What a pitifull nation to use Terrorists to fight there wars. Australian. Yes 80/90% of Aussies feel that way as well as most of Asia.
The hell are you talking about? Every insurgent we face is armed with standard Russian military equipment. The only way they ever succeed is by hiding in the mountains until we leave and hoping we can’t stay in their country as long as they can. Also do we want to talk about how in Korea millions of Chinese stormed in because we were winning and we still kicked them back to the DMZ with minimal casualties. In Vietnam the only reason we never just invaded and steamrolled the north was because China was threatening us with ICBMs. And you lost to a bunch of insurgents. No nuclear threat. No millions of troops. We simply gave them stingers and M16s and they won. Honestly what the hell are you even talking about?
The mujahadine beat the Russians back by using cia stinger missiles. quite literally women and children were shooting down helicopters
and would butted America’s butts in Afghanistan? One on One Russian would destroy America. America relies on surrogates and huge alliances to shield itself from shame. It makes other Nations go in front while they dilly dally behind. They are just an overhyped bully whose soldiers are cowards.
Don’t compare the skills of those Iraqis using Russian equipment. Its a different ball game all together if the Russians were to use them themselves.
Biden has even refused to send troops into Ukraine because he knows he will come into direct confrontation with Russia and will have his arse beaten black and blue by Vlad…
Wowwww… Poor Will… never seen a guy end up more wrong…russia is over there in Ukraine looking really stupid right now running out of gas and getting beat back by civvies with aks.
Ha ha ha, your US generals addimited Taliban are resilence, pulling out licking their wound unable to defeat local tribesmen US suffer more casualties than the Russians, can you tell me a single war won by US? US only good in breeding terrorist
Every weapon Russia has produced except for the Ask 47 has been over hyped, all shit ass Russian trash have proven to be death traps !!
The last war I remember the Russians fighting in the Middle East in Afghanistan they lost and pulled out after about a decade with nothing to show for it
Desert Storm? And if I’m not mistaken Sadam is dead and Iraqi people are free. Just saying
Nah mate Iraq was a lose not a win – the hearts and minds of Iraqis still lives on they still kill Americans and other white men today even after a decade of war. trump should bring all Americans Home
hm, let me think, Gulf war 1 means anything to you? Noriega ? Slobodan Miloshevich died in a prison ? Mujik go to your goats and leave us.
Ha ha ha, your US generals addimited Taliban are resilence, pulling out licking their wound unable to defeat local tribesmen US suffer more casualties than the Russians, can you tell me a single war won by US? US only good in breeding terrorist
Russian losses were 15,000 troops in A-Stan….as of July 2018 the us lost approximately 2,500 troops. Little bit of a diffrence there. I think everyone need a to do a little research before posting and nonsence
your forgetting one key fact matey………the Afghan war in the 80’s was literally just Russia vs Afghanistan while the coalition war of 2003 to 2018 was about 20 nations vs Afghanistan – ofcoarse the USA lost less people than Russia.

The U.S. has been at war for 222 out of 239 years of its existence. So nice try.
release scad missiles Ethiopia of africa
I am very much fascinated with Russia’s Airpower / Superiority. They have been showcased in the actual raids, bombings, etc. in the middle-east wars. For me, Sukhoi is better than USAF’s Raptors.
Thx MIGFLUG you really helped me with my project.
Ah Ithink We All Don’t Know The Secret Of Two Countries,but For Me America Is The Super Power
Russia lost the cold war the only war that really counts. Poland -Hungary-Czechs-Romania all gone because Russia got beat. No more Warsaw Pact. Even LIthuania laughed at the Soviet Union.
Every weapon Russia has produced except for the Ask 47 has been over hyped, all shit ass Russian trash have proven to be death traps !!
This says the USA has 0 attack planes but that is just not true. We have the A-10 warthog, the AC-130, both are attack aircraft and we have a bunch of them
У США также есть F 16, который можно использовать для штурмовиков.
According to retired Russian General Staff Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok, quoted recently in a MEMRI article about the Sochi summit between Russia, Turkey and Iran to try to impose a settlement in Syria, Russia has only 200 “warplanes”. I assume by this he means fighters and bombers.
One is a country the other is a terror organization. USA needs to lock them selvs up in gontanomo
The list is misleading as the 792 AH 64 Apaches from the Army are missing. Also there are another 1000 jetfighters from the marines an Navy missing. Russia has little planes on its baby carrier ( who actually never have see real action) . Let’s hope Putin is not a totally moron to launch our countries on a collision path.
you American ideots aren’t thinking clever as usual .
you won’t be fighting Russia.
you and nato will have to fight
the Chinese air force aswell.
put that in ya pipe and smoke it with ya meth amphetamine and Prozac.youll get hammered.also .dont forget about everybody else you’ve made enemies of by raping there countries and killing there civilians to steel there SOVEREIGN natural resources.youve made yourself enemy no 1 .saudi ,iran , Pakistan,china ,the whole of north and South Africa,south America.the whole of the middle east .on and on . America is the most hated country in the world .beat that then big heads .🤣and another thing .the usa cant beat a few sandal wearing opium growers with old klashis
How much does Russian factory workers earn an hour compared to American factory workers?
You can’t compare spending dollar to dollar when pay rates are so different!
American’s (we the people)just want all other countries common people to be treated right and enjoy freedoms like we do. Not be enslaved to work for almost nothing like the chinese people have to or most all other countries. And be able to hunt and own as many fucking guns as we want. And have a constitution that says we can take to arms against our own corrupted goverment if and when we need to thats freedom.
I think we all need to chill both countries are great powers and there is room for everyone here on earth.. We can all find some common ground and both can co-exist. a war between our nations would most likely be the end of mankind and a extinction level event. All life on earth would parish. And for what? Resources? Pride ?National honor? The state of affairs between our nations should have everyone nervous. I hope and pray cooler heads prevail. Peace be with you Russian warrior and American Warrior. We are both great nations,
how can anyone find common ground with the most evil oppressive regime ever to step foot on the planet .the big evil as known in Syria.i know ive been an seen .the USA are evil liars .why the f would you blow a water infrastructure in a desert country (libya ) if you’re supposedly helping the libyan people out if oppression.the water system built by a so called evil dictator so his people could enjoy FREE clean water . Gaddafi also gave his people,free healthcare,free electricity,free education,but he was evil they said .NO IT WAS TO PREVENT HIM AND ASSOCIATED COUNTRIES FROM LEAVING THE AMERICAN DOLLAR TO LIVE BETTER LIVES WITH THE AFRICAN DINAR THERE OWN CURRENCY.THATS WHY GADDAFI WAS MURDERED BY THE USA .EVIL PIECES OF SHITE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE .

I love the reason for the American abundance of training aircraft… laughed out loud! The US has so many training aircraft because it has a lot of high tech aeroplanes, and some low tech ones, too. You don’t put a 16 year old into a lamborghini to teach them how to drive the first time, both for the sake of the teenager and the car, and a jet is more powerful and manoeuvers in three dimensions. So we try to train our pilots thoroughly, so they win and they live longer, hopefully to retire (which costs the US even more money). I would go through this point by point, but it is so poorly thought out it, I just don’t think my response would be understood, and it certainly wouldn’t be appreciated. I hope we stay out of war with each other, I want to travel to Russia and meet my relatives. Otherwise, all this Russian my Grandma taught me will be for nothing. And you’re right, Russians can be tough.
Incidentally, the contract for 10 Tu-160 was 160 Billion Roubles, or about $260 million each.
i like that we both have very advanced aircraft but i dont like that the only reason we have them is because we might get into a war. I like russia and i am in the usa but lets not make our differences matter
Looking good is for amateurs and gamers.
Unless you have been in the real deal, my 24 years as a US Naval Aviation Mustang Officer taught me the weakness in all of these Russian and Chinese aircraft: propulsion systems and their thermal footprints.
Aside from numbers, their will be no dogfights as we had far less than the once medium attack communities now long gone had real missions with live enemy fire.
In the new battle space these large sleek aircraft in large numbers in a single or few waves will be shot in their tailpipes (being polite here for the kiddies) long after the first wave of American fighters have flown through, turned about and returned to their assigned stacks.
If the Government fully funds the Phoenix again, then it is curtains for any aircraft at a range these Russian and Red Chinese radars cannot see.
I have flown pretty aircraft, but give me ugly, brutal and agile with little to no bleed-off of energy needed to evade any weapon or detection system, or simply jump up-down or sideways like a bee.
russians say we couldn’t beat rice farmers but in the cold war they couldn’t even beat us
Funny how people are still doing a penis measuring contest between the USA and Russia when literally all conventional weapons doesn’t matter at all with all the nukes both sides have and the fact that the 3rd world war will be Nuclear.
Then you realize, some random person in the USA invented the Jericho missiles from iron man lol. WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW RUSSIA(This hasn’t happened yet and I did this as a joke however, I am pretty sure the USA is actually trying to make those)
Cheers to all the major powers of the world with Russia and USA as the leaders of the opposing forces.
The balance in the development and possession of high-tech military equipment is the reason world war III was delayed till today and will ever remain that way. This is the essence to global peace and stability.
All my life, I have been bombarded with western propaganda and histories written in English. How I wish I may be able to read the same history according to the other parties involved, in their own language and literature by their own experiences. Unless I read the same history in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German, France, to name but few, according to their experience, the knowledge of the history I have would have been complete.
No body is invincible;
1. The American Industrial Might help turn the tide of world war I and II.
2. The Russians save the world twice from Napoleon “the Little Corsican” and adamant Arian “Hitler”
4. The Japanese inflict a humiliating defeat to the Russians in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905
5. The Japanese lost the war in the Pacific to the allied forces and eventually bombed with atom-bomb.
6. The Americans lost all the space race of the cold-war only to win the launch of man onto the moon with the death of USSR’S hero Sergey Corelov.
7. The Americans would have been bombed with a 50 megaton hydrogen bomb from airplane by Soviets and there’s no way the Americans would retaliate with their bulky “Castle-Bravo” 15 megaton hydrogen bomb which was too heavy to transport by air or by cart and was detonated on board a ship in the Bikini Atolls.
8. With their SARSE technology, the Americans would have strike out the entire submarine fleet of the Soviets during the cold war error.
And there’s so many examples to list.
The world is big enough for all of us. We need each other to survive. Mother nature is teaching us that the world has aged and cannot sustain life longer than we thought. If human ingenuity can stun the angels with the sophistry and intricacy of the technology we create to destroy life, and also, to reach the cosmos, the same ingenuity can also save the world. We need to bend together and use our collective intellectual capacity to make this world a better place for life to flourish.
Thank you

I agree that the us air force jet are expensive but the thing is it doesn’t matter on how expensive the jet is the thing is how the jet is stronger the Russians jets are less in cost but they have more strength and are stronger such as su-57,su-35 and many others which can beat the US advanced jets such as raptor and f-35.
Even Vladmir Putin knows that Russia cannot win a war against the US, if you leave out nuclear weapons
Face the facts USAF no one comes close
Every conflict the US has failed to win was lost because of government stupidity and ignorance.
The US military did not fail in those conflicts, they lost because of the institution of governance commanding them with ignorant policies and rules that do nothing but heavily handicap and hurt the military’s ability to fight effectively.
The US government and the delusional policies and rules it lays upon its own military effectively retard and robbing their own fighting force has long the greatest weapon the enemy has.
The Vietnam War was started and lost because of political stupidity
The war on terror was started and lost because of political stupidity.
Every engagement the US has been involved in post Korean War have been started and lost by political stupidity of US politicians not military’s ability to fight.
The fact that the US Military can still fight effectively at all in the face of all the handicapping rules and policies by its own government is astounding.
The US military loses because its own government wages proxy wars with absolutely no strategic end game or follow through.
Like I said, the greatest weapon against the US armed forces comes from its own governments incessant bureaucratic delusions, rules, and policies.
Geez, lousies!
Every man on this earth has the right to live, and the world needs peace!
I don’t know the name of the treaty that said “limit the number of nukes used and no more producing them”
Well, they should say something like, “throw out all of you nukes, world and rest in peace.
Why do we all have to argue like this and why not come together to make a lasting “Reich” as Mr. Adolf Hitler did with violence, but do without violence.
I appreciate that both countries are superpowers, but let’s forget about our differences and come together? The UN was created for this. People who have teenage children will have to go to combat and possibly be killed. Peace is what the world needs, not a nuke war.
I think the Trump followers have this all figured out. Bomb em all and let God sort it out
In the summer of 1861, Alexander Gorchakov gave President Lincoln an opinion that he supported the cause of the Northern States. With the help of the Russian military attaché, Admiral Stepan Lesovsky, two years later, in the fall of 1863, two military squadrons from Russia arrived in San Francisco and in New York. Thus, Russia helps the Northern States in their struggle for supremacy against the South, France and the English fleet located in the Canadian port of Exmolt! Thus, the Russian ships prevent the Confederation from separating into an independent state! The fact that you, proud Americans, do not know your history – Russia saves the territorial integrity of the USA at the most critical moment in the history of the young country! Remember this if you don’t want to look ungrateful!!
