Saw a thread speculating along those lines https://twitter.com/NotWoofers/status/1499513760922406917 holding back to prove they can do it with ground forces, trying to minimize civilian casualties, or maybe sending in the junk first to flush out where defenses are

"Decisive air battle", what a joker. Most Ukrainian planes, airports and air defenses were destroyed by standoff weapons in the first hours of the war. Russia has air superiority since multiple days now. Of couse thats ignoring the ghost of kiev, who shoots down a dozen Russian planes every day lmao.
