You might have.
But you could post some?

Which MIGs?
Not 35s?

It's kind of impressive the confidence with which you guys can spout complete nonsense. I easily found these articles in a few minutes with a google search using a custom time range set to show only articles from the first couple of months after the war in Ukraine started. And lets not forget some of the best hits such as "Snake Island" and the "Ghost of Kyiv", both of which the MSM now admits were lies used to boost Ukrainian military morale. In fact I remember a time near the start of this conflict when suggesting that Russia was advancing and winning against Ukraine was considered somewhat taboo or just Russian propaganda.
Ukraine can absolutely win against Russia
Ukraine’s defence strategy is masterful, and may yet deliver a victory
Ukraine winning with world's weapons
Ukraine war: why are so many Russian generals being killed?

To remind you of what you originally said:
'Rare you hear about a mig 35. It's rare you hear about even more advanced migs.
They are just not using them."
I have been saying this, rare you see a T90 tank, Armata Tank is not present, on rare occasion you can spot a Pansir.
They use the low flying migs and they have modern migs that can drop bombs similar to JDAM, they are laser guided and these migs fly high and fast and can hit targets from far away, they are not around either. All you hear about are those low flying older migs.
Rare you hear about a mig 35. It's rare you hear about even more advanced migs.
They are just not using them.

My general question is why isn't Russia flying more modern aircraft than it's currently operating in Ukraine.
Su25
The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975
Isn't an airplane made after the 90's better than this.
You clearly are trying to undermine posts with your sarcasm.
Point is made by me, Putin decided not to use anything and just make it a limited special operation.

Not even close. If that's the best you can do then I think it shows you did imagine it.

The media is portraying the situation as if Russia is weak or Russia is losing because they haven't obliterated Ukraine

From just one of your sources:
"Russia has made many errors. But Ukraine has played an inferior hand well. It is a country that is smaller in size, population, economy, and military forces than its invader. Why has it, so far, been successful at defending itself against the military forces of a nuclear-armed superpower?"
None of them say what you claim they said.
Epic fail.
Next?

He also claimed that he had no intention to invade.....
they seem confused:
Just watched that.
I thought it was an episode of " The Muppet Show "

Not one of those links backs up your claim that everyone Ukraine expected to win. ( the third doesn't seem to be the correct link)

Here's something I posted early March, guess I was just imagining things back then too. Strange how back then no one seemed to disagree with my statement, guess they were all part of my shared hallucination... lmao.
