Re: What is the current state of RuAF?
Lets just say pathetic, most active fighters are way too old, even today aircrafts like the MiG-31 form the sizable bulk of active aircrafts, most MiG-29's are grounded (More than 70%), Su-25 is the primary strike fighters(Not so great), advance fighters like Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 are present in very small numbers and there are no plans of acquiring more of these jets. Some 400 Su-27 are inservice and are the only potent force of the RuAF. They are playing the wait game to replace most fighter by the PAK-FA which is sensible thing to do but the Russians to retire the olders birds like the MiG-31 and use the funds for the to speed upgradtion of MiG-29s and Su-27.

Around 200 MiG-29s are grounded, entire bomber fleet is obsolete and there is no point in having recce fighters these days.
