The Russian Military Can't Do Close Ear Support

Ground warfare by itself favors the defender. Russian helicopters can't do it in this particular war because of their peration of man paths and short range air defense on the battlefield righ, cause it gets shot down. So even if they're not losing that much in the way of aircraft, othough they've lost something like 22 thicx swayng aircraft from the tagical aviation component,. It's making them operate in a way that the air force cannot effective provide any sort of close ear support to the ground forces. That's more the issue.
