Not just nowadays. Back in the 60s I did 2 tours on Hunter DFGA. Our war options included the NATO Central Region, and the opposition included such things as SAM6 and ZSU-23, both in large numbers. Our assessment at unit level was that we might have lasted most of the first morning if tasked against Soviet armoured formations. We considered that their field army air defence was very good. We thought they would perform much better than they seem to be doing in Ukraine at present.
