They were supplied with second line equipment like Mig-21s when Mig-23 and 25 we're already out. All the Vietnam War aces were Vietnamese.

US is supplying targeting information to Ukraine.
I was listening to the two Alexs on "The Duran" and they are not convinced the Russian losses are as high as claimed. If they were, that would make the Russian casulty rate higher than when they fought the Germans in the Ukraine during WW2
Biden's speech in Poland:
In summary:
It's obviously aimed for domestic and European consumption. It sounds like he's given up on the Ukraine and is hoping Putin won't carry the war on to NATO. No mention of the nuclear threat (again).
No mention of China which I expected to be the main subject of the the speech. It was like China doesn't exist. From the Chinese perspective the speech was perfect.
Apart from the dishonesty of it all, it seems unclear what the end goal is. What if the Russian people choose Putin? When Putin retires and his successor takes over, will the cold war continue? He seems to think so as apparently the struggle will go on for decades.
Ultimately, this is a formal announcement of the Cold War 2. Instead of it being between two superpowers, it's between one superpower and one regional power, with the other superpower watching on the sidelines.
- Russia is the Soviet Union again.
- Ukraine can't have Nazis because Zelensky is a Jew
- "Putin needs to go", but the Russian people have the right to choose their leader.
- Russia's economy is currently ruined, no more McDonalds for them. One dollar is apparently worth 200 rubles (LOL).
- 200,000 Russians are leaving Russia, this is a brain drain.
- Russians censor their media
- "Don't think about moving on one inch of NATO territory"
- Ukrainians will fight on for many months.
- NATO is more united than ever. It is also a defensive alliance because we say it is.
- Europe needs to stop buying Russian gas.
- Repeats that Putin cannot remain in power

Oh dear
Different kind of war. Compare the tons of ordinance dropped on North Vietnam compared to what Russia has dropped on Ukraine. It's almost certainly several orders of magnitude different. Hell, the US lost most of the F-105 fleet fighting there. You don't lose planes if your not flying them in harm's way. (Aside from the occasional training accident.)
I think it's too early to talk about losses of the men, or even materials. Especially with media having itch for "hype first ask question later" and in there they are using dubious or even straight made-up sources, disgusting but i guess that's the way it is.
Like one side will always try to attempt to exaggerate enemy losses (except when that time Russians managed to revive some 4000 men back) and make their own losses small or even straight up make it classified. Like we rarely or maybe never see reports on deaths of Ukrainian generals or commanders.

I dont think so as the WEst is very anti Russian and parts of it were never historically Russian. Parts of it historically belonged to Poland ansd a couple of other eastern European countries.
The point is that ukraine hasnt shown any ability of sustain missile or aviation formations. it barely fly one TB-2 or tochka at a time.
Russian choppers (this maybe largest gunship use ) or fighters crash rate relative to sorties is so low that most air forces in peace time cannot match it.

All I can offer you is from my good "friend" Yuri who is saying that the strategic reserve that has been spread across the Southern front is now being concentrated in the South Donbass to help spearhead a massive offensive. Hints were made about the Gorlivka area, but I would take such nods and winks with a big pinch of salt.
No doubt something major is coming very soon.
