Russian Air Forced Sucked in WW2?

Luftwaffe was completely destroyed, while the Russian Air Force got bigger?
Oh i totally see how they sucked ^0)
Perhaps because Luftwaffe was being destoried from the west by anglo-american hordes?
Didn't you read my previous posts at all? Luftwaffe killed soviets like flies, although Luftwaffe was out numbered at best days by 4-5 times, at worst days alot and alot more.
Luftwaffe's standart fact was that once a fighter pilot had been transfered to eastern front, he shouldn't be transfered to west anymore, because he'll get lazy due to the untrained soviet pilots and would be easily killed by RAF or USAAF.

]about Luftwaffe alone. Finnish Air Force did very succesfully against red air force aswell.
Raptor, my point is that Cold war factor alone wouldn't make that the best air force if we include history, like it was said above. Think if you can send 5 planes against one and you're being constantly blown out of the skies, does it really make you any good?
