Russian Armed Forces great or not?

[mkloby]

The Russian airforce is made up of some good aircraft, Mig-29, Su-27, etc.. however there avionics packages suck. They will not get very far with them because of that fact.

NATO airforces supported by AWACS would completely overtake them.

That's the truth. US air forces alone would annihilate the russian air force, let alone a fleet augmented by NATO forces. They have nothing to overcome the superiority of our avionics. Not even cobras and other nonsense aerobatics!
