In Russia artillery is the king, but in American arms air power is far more important. That's a big problem with American advisors when Ukraine doesn't have air superiority.
A flock of F16's is needed to make NATO tactics work.

And, whoever it was that said "Russia would mop the floor with a NATO Army" or whatever it was because "they have real battlefield experience, now" obviously was thinking NATO would just tie their own hands behind their backs and fight trench warfare, for some reason? Russia can't gain air superiority over Ukraine, who still have just a handful of older Russian jets...
