And I’m guessing Russia doesn’t have much of a supply of usable spare parts for all these aircraft.

Some of these aircraft are leftovers from the USSR days and were built in Ukraine so there are no parts and no facilities in Russia to make them.

For the modern ones, Russia is having trouble getting the parts due to sanctions, even with all the help from China.

I'm a particular fan of Ukrainians destroying Ukrainian built war equipment in use by Russians. It's beautiful.
