Basically one of the worst single assets russia could lose, period. If you assigned a points system to russian military aircraft takedowns this would be all the way at the top in the JACKPOT spot.
Will russian oligarchs sell the remaining planes off before they are all destroyed and all of that investment is lost to a functionally extinct aeronautics platform? Only time, greed and incompetency will tell.
