Ukraine is clearly making a maximum effort to damage the Russian Air Force wherever it may be located. Apparently they too believe it is the force that can alter the strategic balance in both Ukraine's offense into Russia and Russia's grinding offensives in Ukraine. Up until last summer the VKS basically opted out. Russian strategic air launched long range missiles but that was it. The advent of the glide bomb attacks, conservative though they are, have made themselves felt and need to be countered. If the VKS ever "lives up to its potential" Ukraine is toast. Ukraine wants to make sure that doesn't happen.
