Why? No clue - probably gross incompetence and corruption. The fact is that they have been at war for two years against what was one of the smallest militaries in Europe and still have not managed to obtain air superiority, indicating that they have some kind of shortage in the AA department.

"one of the smallest militaries in Europe"

That was pretty dumb.

"shortage in the AA department"

Yeah, that's why F-16s are nowhere to be seen.

Pretty sure it had the largest or second largest militaries in Europe in 2022; maybe Turkey had a larger army.

Considering the first stages of Russia's invasion started in 2014 I wouldn't be surprised that Ukraine had a large army by 2022.
