what are the chances Russia decides to do a modern take on Linebacker II and throws whatever support aircraft and bombers it can spare?
Zero.
>>65293165You figure if they were capable of doing that they would have done it years ago.
>>65293165>>65293172>>65293173OP here. Allow me to reiterate (I didn't exactly use the language I wanted but it's too late now to change the original post). What would it take for Putin to do a modern take on Linebacker II?
>>65293165Very slim, they need those bombers intact so that they can threaten to nuke white European countries with them
>>65293180He would need Ukraine to not have any air defences
>>65293180He would need a functional air force
>>65293165who cares
>>65293165>what are the chances Russia decides to do a modern take on Linebacker II and throws whatever support aircraft and bombers it can spare?Less than ZERO, they have no logistical or military capability to support an equivalent operation.
>>65293180>What would it take for Putin to do a modern take on Linebacker II?Impossible. The Russian Federation already inherited its ultra-corrupt cleptocracy from the Russian SFR. Putin never had a chance to build a military capable of conventionally mimicking the United States, not that he even tried, being a thieving rat himself.
>>65293165Zero. Russia is more likely to collapse due to economic problems, a coup, or both.I'm actually shocked neither of those things have happened yet to be honest.
Air strikes against key facilities in Kyiv might have been effective had they been launched as a surprise opening move. However, Russia's strategic bombers have been converted into missile-launching platforms; they are likely incapable of dropping massive guided bombs on the heart of the enemy government or on power plants.
The only escalation that Russia can make in the Ukraine war that they have the ability to do and nonetheless haven't done yet is actually launch nukes at Ukraine. And no, they aren't going to do that.
>>65293165>what are the chances Russia decides to do a modern take on Linebacker II and throws whatever support aircraft and bombers it can spare?would be unimaginably based

>>65293180A magic wand. They only mass anything they can do is to use ballistic missiles en mass.
>>65293180The ability to do so
>>65293498>ballistic missiles en massHonestly, i think that is enough. Why endanger your remaining bomber when you can launch missile that just as accurate.
>>65293546>just as accurateBallistic missiles are not as accurate as guided bombs or cruise missiles that Russia doesn't have enough of.
>>65293232>I'm actually shocked neither of those things have happened yet to be honest.Well, someone tried
>>65293556>doesn't have enough of.Hate to be that guy but, is there any concrete evidence on this matter?
