Russian Air Defense Net Failing?

The meat of this is not the text, but the video that accompanies the article.

Russia is lagging 25-30 years behind the U.S. in terms of air and space defense and can't resist a potential threat, say former high-ranking military officials.

The criticism comes from a former chief of Russia’s air force, Anatoly Kornukov, who sees the root of the problem in the meltdown of the defense industries in Russia, which have lost qualified personnel and key technologies, leaving the industrial plants in a “pitiful condition.”
