The SU-34 and 35 (upgraded 27's) are decent enough planes but they're not showing that they're front line planes anymore.
I was reading that the Russians are having significant communication problems over their tactical nets for both the army and the air force.
Its going to be interesting to see if there's a Russian tactical shift as planes like the F-16''s hits the theatre.
In 3 or 4 years time when this war is continuing on its going to be fought with sticks and rocks.

Off topic, but what’s with the spacing you use between paragraphs? Reads like Captain Kirk style dramatic pauses.
