Just destroy all military and political targets from the air, then move in. Why advance on the ground at all?
Why doesn’t Russia just use its large airforce to subjugate Ukraine?

because glassing the country is PR suicide, even the chinks won't want to trade with them.

People have literally no idea why the Russian air force isn't active, or at the very least they haven't established a no-fly zone and is letting the ukrainian air force still run missions almost a week into the war

The most common theory is they're scared of getting shot down, and don't have any fuel/spare parts
Austin Rivera
Their goal is to annex two regions of Ukraine and to de-nazify Ukraine, not to glass the whole country. A single cobalt bomb would destroy all of Ukraine for decades to come if that was their goal
Aaron Gutierrez
The west is already accusing them of war crimes and there hasn't been any real fighting. Imagine if they start employing the real shit
Jacob Hill
Planes can't hold land?
Evan Peterson
Because the air battle is already over?

That is the most stupid theory I ever heard, considering Ukraine flies the same hardware as Russia (just 20 times fewer aircraft).
Hudson Hernandez
IDK but a shit ton of stingers are en route. If they wanted an air campaign, well their window for one is just about closed. I hope they shoot down every Russian aircraft that bothers to take off.
Andrew Sanchez
Stingers can’t shoot down modern jets unless they fly extremely slow and very very low AND have incompetent pilots.
Parker Sanders
>de-nazify Ukraine
This is such a vague term that it's useless
Jeremiah Perry
Shot down by Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs)

You clearly haven’t watched putins speech.

What SAMs are there left in Ukraine? Exactly, none except handheld Stingees which cannot shoot down anything flying higher than 2.5km.
Hunter Moore
It means kill Zelensky.
Lucas Hernandez
He wants full control of the land and government.
Ayden Cook
This is about setting the stage for sanctions so that the economy collapses worldwide and causes the great reset.
Kayden Murphy
S-300s have shot down Russian aircraft within the last 5 years
Oliver Gray
you know how a gun works. Now go defeat someone who has a gun.
Jonathan Williams
russia already comitted pr suicide, what else can happen?
Aiden Cooper
Ukraine has no functioning SAM systems at the moment.
Aaron Sullivan
>He wants full control of the land and government.
fine, but to do so, why not just bomb the hell out of the country, then just drive in once they surrender?
Jaxson Brooks
Russians are scared shitless of stinger missiles. They are very accurate, easy to use and flares are useless against them.
Ukraine has been armed with a fuckton of them by Western countries
Easton Sullivan
abbos cannot into radar guided weapons
sad!
