And he couldn't stop a losing invasion, because he already fucked the economy having it planned in detail and being unable to adjust it.

If your arguments boil down to "Hitler was a moron" then I guess I'm done myself

luftwaffe had air superiourity over a country that was on the cusp of an invasion apparently without an air force

i'm a different person than floki, we have different names

that's how you tell us apart

Stalin was never going to invade. Hell he didn't even believe Hitler would invade him. Hence his slow reaction

your was plural

Hitler was one of the few people Stalin actually trusted. More than likely due to German Support of his Rebellion

On the day of the invasion alone the soviet airforce lost 1,200 planes

most of the on the ground

on airfields

right at the new border

but nooo, no invasion plans at all

Because you tend to move plains to a border

Not at the interior

Lets also ignore the fact that tank buildup was outnumbering every other major nation combined

Kinda military 101

You don't for defensive operations

You forget they were fighting Japan?

In 1941?

With their entire army?

Please

An army placed on a defensive position does not have its airforce on the border

that's held true since 1914 and still does today

Why?

Because it's simply way too easy for the enemy to destroy your planes on the ground

peace time isn't a defensive operation

which is exactly what happened

They literally lost 3/4 of their airforce in the first 6 months of fighting

Um Russian planes didn't have much range....Hence the nearby

not quite 3/4 but around 70% if I'm not mistaken

The Luftwaffa outranged them

They had more than enough range to conduct defensive operations had they been placed in the rear

They just couldn't be placed in the rear *and* conduct offensive operations

Just look at the composition of the soviet army during the invasion of Finland and Poland in 1939

It was the same

it's all the same man

the world is a kaleidoscope

flowers are better than tanks

That just tells me you don't know how different armies are composed and placed on the battlefield

Also again Stalin was a moron militarily, as well he didn't think Germany would ever invade
