Stop reading propaganda. I know people in Azov. No such evidence.
RU couldn’t carpet bomb anything. RU is reserving planes (a) too many are non-functional (b) too few pilots have too little air time b/c RU can’t afford training costs, (c) jets are 100m each instead of 5M each for tanks etc. (b) they need them to defend Moscow and st Petersburg if nato response to RU aggression.
All they can do is resort to nukes. RU army is a paper tiger. US fear since March has been that US alone would destroy entire RU military in under five days, but this would cause RU nuke retaliation. Use of nukes means the end of RU civilization. So US/UA Strategy has been to exhaust them instead. It’s been working. UA has just executed one of the best strategic maneuvers since the second world war. They have Nato training, nato weapons, Nato signal intelligence, and their own morale and incentives.
No one is stupid enough to use nukes – though I can see a future with Taiwan-China and Israel-Iran exchanging nukes.
