… “Many of these limitations stem not from inherent Russian technological limitations, but from the fact that the Russian military as a whole has long relied on massed artillery, armored vehicles, and land-based precision fires for the core of its tactical and operational level battlefield lethality rather than CAS. Therefore, Russia has not invested heavily in the sort of sensors, weapons, and pilot training that Western air forces have taken for granted after decades of counter-insurgency campaigns where airpower provided the majority of deployed joint force firepower. Consequently, it should not have been a surprise for Western observers that the VKS proved poor at conducting dynamic CAS and interdiction on the battlefield in Ukraine.”"
