I think what Burns meant is just “incapability” of the RuAF, its lacking in comparison to USAF. The book is filled to the brim with snark. I wouldn’t say that military higher ups would oppose Putin’s decision on the basis of patriotic feelings – they are same wannabe capitalists, if the U.S. wants to pay, then it’s good for them.

> US didn't accept that as a payment and rejected the desired (by Russia) cooperation nevertheless.

Yes.

You’re welcome.
