They can plainly operate freely enough to use heavy glide bombs launched from high altitudes and standoff distances against ukie targets.
Did you miss the news just yesterday that Ukraine shot down an entire Russian air group yesterday?
Does that sound like operating freely?
Russia could have had this war wrapped up in 3 days. But don’t want to destroy to much.
“Russia could have had this war wrapped up in 3 days. But don’t want to destroy to much.”
You’re joking, right? Russia has pretty much destroyed eastern Ukraine, which is the area it claimed it wanted.
“The Russian Air Forces Can Destroy the Ukrainians”, then do it! Put up or shut up!
.
Really? It sure hasn’t yet.
Air Supremacy is always the primary goal.

Right, I always rely on the Hindustan Times for all of my military info.
If Pootie uses his airforce, he will lose more than 80% of it with all the anti-air assets - even right now its a huge risk getting closer than 10-150km to the front.
He does not have air superiority now, so there is no way burning 80% of his air force will gain him air superiority in the future.
Apparently it doesnt bother the US enough to supply Ukraine with what it needs to match and exceed Russia in the air, which it could do if it was really wanted.
This is because the Ukrainian air defenses have been severely degraded by Russia. It’s only a matter of time when they are gone and the Russians pretty much have free reign over the place from the air.
Once the Ruskies have total air dominance, Ukrainian ground forces will have a hell of a time dealing with it.
“Ukrainian air defenses have been severely degraded by Russia”
Patriot batteries only showed up a month ago. So far they have stopped most drone attacks and destroyed an entire Russian air group in a day.
Ukrainian air defenses are steadily getting better not worse.
Russia will just destroy those Patriot batteries.
That story about a Patriot missile intercepting and destroying a hypersonic, Russian missile was complete lie.
I am so confused at this point on what is true and not true. There was a guy that had a YouTube channel that was interviewing people and the people was saying they were being bombed from zelenski. I haven’t seen or heard anything from him in a long time.
Time for Russia to either freeze the line and give up on proceeding, or launch a massive nuclear blitz against Ukraine. My bet, NATO doesn’t dare respond with nuclear weapons. At that point, it’s does Russia have the nuclear forces to go toe to toe with NATO. It may be worth sacrificing their nation if it means the end of the West. They have a moral commitment to the end of Western hegemony.
Or if they’re really smart, a joint Chinese-Russia mass nuking of the West. If they can’t go that far, they should give up. Will they ?
Funny, we’ve been hearing that “Russian air superiority” noise since February 2022. The orcs are superior only in their primitive minds.
“But don’t want to destroy too much.”
Oh, please. Aside from raping anything that moves, that’s all the orcs do, destroying buildings.
“Russia will just destroy those Patriot batteries.”
They have yet to destroy a single HIMARS in six months of service.
These things are not easy to take out.
