What Russias tactics are are a mystery, seems they mainly involve spreading metal in all directions and correcting the OOB and seniority lists. Operating at medium or high altitude into an area near a country that your own clown has been lobbing missiles from airborne platforms against civilians is hardly a wise move, about on par with the tactics of the A-50 and the IL-22's.
