Airpower remains the undisputed advantage of NATO. I agree at least on one commentary I read not long ago : Had it not for the threat of mutual annihilation, NATO would've eagerly entered the war on Ukraine's side since day 1 knowing the massive qualitative and quantitative air power disparity between Russia and the combined West.
This is why Ukraine is so eager to pull NATO into the war ASAP, because unless NATO enters, there is simply no way Ukraine could actually win.
Russia is not without allies. If NATO planes bomb Russia, China supply air defense to Russia. In fact, it is Chinese support that doomed American military intervention in Vietnam.
