This is perhaps Putin's greatest triumph.That's assuming rational thinking is happening and there aren't other things involved including actions designed to make the likes of NATO tear themselves apart.
However, NATO has had years of designing countermeasures against Soviet/Russian SAM systems including new threat upgrades..Their SAMs would be the threat.
It's not so easy in reality. Unless using the likes of F-35s, then the reality is that the air defence environment in Ukraine (and arguable elsewhere if this were to escalate) is extremely challenging. It isn't just the case of using some new countermeasure systems either. If it were the case then the west could easily have said to the Ukrainians ages ago "here, go bolt this onto your Su-24s, Su-25s and MiG-29s and go use your airpower to end this thing". This is also something that worries me about the F-16s that many seem to think will be some sort of silver bullet.However, NATO has had years of designing countermeasures against Soviet/Russian SAM systems including new threat upgrades..

That was supposed to be the Leopard 2. Then the HIMARS.This is also something that worries me about the F-16s that many seem to think will be some sort of silver bullet.
