Turns out that cheap and reliable weapons that Russia is able to pump out in mass quantities work a lot better than fancy artisanally produced NATO weapons.

NATO never fought a peer or near peer enemy. The US last did in Vietnam (which is a bit of a stretch, Vietnam could not meaningfully challenge US air superiority over the south), without a stretch the last time would be WW2. Over 80 years ago.

I was largely referring to WW2, but leaving it open to Korea and Vietnam, as they are both arguable (but I agree it's a stretch).
