What is crucial is air superiority. Russians have in the past built some pretty good aircraft, but they no longer have the money to do so. Once your air cover is gone, you are a sitting duck.

air supremacy is important, but Russia and other oppressive societies cannot adopt our military model becasue their people do not live free. We can distribute command and employ initiative because our warriors are free people.
