Believe me I know what A-10s can do.

You assume the mighty US Air Force will have any airfields to operate from. Russian MOD has stated they can take out every collective West airfield within the reach of their hypersonic cruise missiles, including ones in England.
If you are as familiar with US aviation forces as I am ( I assume you are) you know the logistics of moving supplies, maintenance, equipment, arms, ammo, 6,000 miles in quantities needed is not easily accomplished, and without operating airfields impossible.
Vlads logistical train is less than 600 kilometers, the US 6,000 miles.Something to think about.
I know what they say but they have not been able to destroy uke Air Force so they will be able to destroy every NATO air base, and with what? Doing a fine job of depleting their missile stocks and you also assume these missies if he still has will hit their target
Also don’t have to move 6000 miles plenty of stock prepositioned. Sweden, France, Germany Poland all have effective air forces then there are the buffs B-1s and B-2s
Speaking of logistics. How’s that been going for Russia? With little to no attacks on Russian infrastructure they have extreme difficulty moving supplies 50 km to front let alone 600 and 600 km will be the same as 6000 if rail hubs and bridges are gone if they have anything left to move
Russian doctrine says it can’t deal will NATO aircraft dominance that is why they put so much stock in sams, well I am sure they have a lot left but not as many as they did
Hope it doesn’t come to that but you have a much higher regard for their abilities and capabilities than I do, and that is fine your opinion
