>>implying if the Allies didn't prevent Axis production the Russians would have lived.

The bombing campaigns only really started in earnest in 1943

The eastern front was a forgone conclusion at this point

I do believe that the strategic bombing campaigns did a great deal to damage Germany's industry, but this is just dumb (ie: /k/).

>implying Russians didn't live off US logistics.

People do underestimate the US contribution to the Soviet industry.

>the soviets had shit airpower in ww2

By 1943 the VVS was superior in the close support role to the Luftwaffe and Russian aircraft had air superiority in low to medium altitudes, forcing the luftwaffe to high altitudes.

Depends on the scale. The VVS generally had air superiority over the whole front, but the Luftwaffe could achieve local air superiority by concentrating forces up until around the time of Kursk.

I meant modern war as in post ww1

Kinda like how like literature after 1900 is considered 'modern'

>picking literally the worst meme of the war
The Il-2 was shit, as was VVS Shturmovik doctrine. They had plenty of excellent planes, but the Il-2 was not one of them.
