What is the best Piotr Butowski book, ”Russia’s Warplanes Volume 1” or ”Flashpoint Russia”?

Which one has the best information on the planes specifications and history?
 
I have neither of them, but based on the blurbs on Amazon I would not recommend either of them.

The first book (Russia’s Warplanes Volume 1) is already 10 years old, so almost outdated, but will still cost you more than 50 euros for 256 pages.

The second book (Flashpoint Russia) is 6 years old, so not up to date either, and has only 144 pages.
According to the blurb: "The centrepiece of the book describes the current order of battle of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) and other operators of military aircraft in Russia and includes all the country’s aviation units. Other chapters cover Russia’s approach to purchases of arms and military equipment, and priority air programmes for the next decade."
Is that what you are looking for? Probably not.

Always look on Amazon for blurbs and customer reviews, and check the publication dates of books that are supposed to be about modern military aircraft.
