In the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, the US military strategy was to initially use overwhelming air power to take out key military sites, centers of communication, command and control, etc... this was a key first step before any ground invasion was launched.
In the Ukraine conflict also, Russia has overwhelmingly superior air power. Why is this not being used in the same way? They are just slogging through with the army as best they can, and they’re getting stuck every step of the way. It seems like the really hard way to do this.
Any of our local military strategy experts have any idea why? It doesn’t seem to make any sense.
