Vietnamese were mauling US way more badly including winning multiple air to air engagements, shooting down thousands of planes including strategic assets like B-52s, effectively resisting air attacks on their infrastructure, taking new territory they never controlled, etc.This will be a long drawn out war. Those expecting quick victories conquer on the battlefield are seriously deluding themselves.
If I was a betting man, I would bet on the Russians who now have organized themselves and have better logistics and controls the skies above Ukraine. NATO armerments won't make a difference in the overall picture just like the Soviets armament didn't in Vietnam. US didn't lose that war. They grew tired of it and left.
The only thing the Russians are missing is the will. I don't know why they haven't fully declared war on Ukraine yet but maybe if these attacks on Russian soil continues, Putin will have the necessary outrage from his citizens to formally declare war.
Remember this is still a special operation.
It is unconfirmed, but there are PSU pilots that have claimed to shoot down Russian jets, although it's unclear what kind of jets specifically. is one of those pilots, flying Su-27. It is not totally implausible, as there PSU Su-27s and MiG-29s have been fighting with their VKS counterparts (and losing most of the time, as the latter has Su-35s). This guy probably shot down some easy targets like Su-25s, which would make his claim technically true.So far Ukrainian forces have failed to take any territory lost in 2014, haven't won any air to air engagements, cannot intercept or stop bombings of their infrastructure or even inflict significant damage on Russian strategic assets.
