Bullshit. One pilot credited with the same number of kills as Ukraine claimed for the entire country that day? Not a chance.

I don't think anyone claimed Douglas Bader had single-handedly fought off the entire Luftwaffe.

This is a normal post No, but the overwhelming number of Russian planes provides more targets to be shot down.
That's the Battle of Britain principle I was alluding to.

I can believe that there's one Ukranian kid who spent their entire life playing dogfight sims and training to be a fighter pilot.

More targets, but also more opportunities to be shot down. A target-rich environment might seem a good thing until they start targeting you back.

This is a normal post Kiev is acceptable in English, unless you're some sort of Proper Noun Nazi.

This is a normal post To be fair though
if Putin had said he was going to sort out the way they spell things and get rid of metric in Ukraine the UK would have supported him.

This is a normal post Russia has air superiority...
...so there's far more Russian aircraft, and far less Ukrainians sneaking around picking off what they can.
