I can't comment on the way things are right now but I will say that if you had a Russian fighter within 10 miles of you back in the late 70s, there was a reasonably large chance of a mid-air.

They couldn't fly wing for toejam.

That’s for sure.  They were flying only a couple of hours a month.  Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s close to the same for them now.

They’re averaging 100-150 hours a year depending on the source.   Others say only around a tenth of what American pilots fly which would be pretty dismal.
