S400, s300, vityaz s350, HQ9 and around 75 su30 jets. And more that we don't know of, should be good enough.

God I love how Russia can just export some s300s and instantly make any country a massive pain to invade

When the West's entire doctrine revolves around air dominance, being able to knock their planes out of the sky for cheap is quite effective.

Tbf with the empire in decay and out of munitions they'd possibly get their asses whooped, which would be lovely to see. The civilian collateral wouldn't though, and we know how Western invasions are with that.
