We are repeatedly told Russia has air superiority in all of Ukraine, that it can destroy anything in Ukraine, anytime it wishes. It that were true, it seems very unlikely this could take place.


Its not true. So you can relax. If it were even remotely true, then the Orcs would be using their heavy bombers to bomb the country flat. The VFK is terrified of operating in the Ukraine because of all the anti-air missiles.

Post 13. Neither side can fly there in safety, including us.
The Russian heavy bomber raid on the NATO stockpiles near Lviv were cruise missiles launched from safety over the Sea of Azov.
Tactical air is very dangerous, the Russians use very little and the Ukes none.

Both sides have the very dangerous Soviet high altitude systems, and the Uke side is flooded with Stingers.
And Ukes and NATO have to operate knowing that all of Ukraine is in easy range of S-400s.

Flying there is deadly for everyone. That’s why this is a ground war, and artillery is so important. Thankfully the Ukes are somewhat behind the curve on that.
