Whose airfields? Certainly not ours, unless the tanks are capable of going several hundred mph
Yeah, I don't understand that mentality. If the Russians can take over Ramstein with tanks before we can get planes in the air, we've got some serious issues.

Cruise missiles could take out Rammstein in the moments leading up to the war. I can't imagine a WWIII scenario other than Russia hitting first in an attempt to destroy our ETO airbases and atlantic fleet.
The KH-32 can fly at 130K ft and hit targets within 620 miles. Loft a few thousand of them and you won't need to use nukes

Back in the 80s the Soviets had special forces hidden inside Germany, sleeper cells of a sort. These teams had orders if the ballon ever went up to take out special high value targets like power plants, government officials, as well as airfields. On top of this, if war did come, in the opening seconds every NATO airfield in Europe would be targeted by a swarm of missiles.
The Soviets knew NATO's only real advantage laid in airpower and for Amy War to go on the Soviets favor, this advantage had to be negated. They planned on achieving this goal by taking out as many airbases as possible while at the same time covering the entire battlefront with thousands of mobile SAM launchers. The Soviet Union may be gone, but the Russians have not forgot the lessons left behind.
