he ain't got much muscle to flex. NATO would slap down every Russian aircraft that enters NATO airspace with relative ease and he knows it. In fact, the VVS couldn't gain air superiority against the antiques Ukraine fielded in the first months of the war. Still can't. That's the impetuous behind glide bombs, released from the safety of Russian airspace.
Flexing? Kind of like some skinny teenager flexing in the mirror.
