They've come a long way in half a century. With survival rates starting at 40% and now being closer to 90%, with much of that being due to (ironically) lower speed engagements due to missions being more frequently NOE (close to the ground) at subsonic speeds due to the pervasive threat of missile defenses in all theaters today, and more fighter craft filling the ground attack role.

It won't end

But it is the plane that makes the difference, It's not WW2 where pilots could offset the technological gap with their skill. Modern electronics make an enormous impact, especially in aviation. That's the reason why NATO focuses on air superiority doctrine and why Ukraine suffers such heavy losses during trench warfare. They have to slowly push through fortified enemy positions without air support, which means they have no effective way to eliminate Russian artillery and heavy weaponry that constantly harrases their troops. I wish the best for Ukraine but I can't stand the fact that we're doing the absolute minimum given the fact that most of our modern weaponry was designed to counter Russian war doctrine, which still focuses on trench warfare and throwing cannon fodder at the enemy.

My guess is that when Russia amassed their forces on the border they took most of their aircraft and put them in woods with camo nets or in other places that could hide them until needed. There is no way they were at their usual assigned locations the day Russia decided to attack or they would not be flying anything at all. I told my girlfriend the day of the invasion that if Ukraine was smart there would be absolutely zero aircraft parked at their airfields for Russia to destroy....
