Roy,
“In OIF we were facing the Russian’s best air defenses installed over a long period.”

With Iraqis manning them, with no air capability at all on the Iraqi side, with Spec Ops spotters on the ground, vast ground forces available for coordinated ops, and months for planning/intel and practice. There is no way you can compare the two. Achieving air superiority over Georgia would be a huge undertaking, not just involving 15 or 20 planes as you cavalierly described. WE’RE NOT THAT GOOD!!
