They don't seem very sophisticated if they have to get close enough to get shot down to identify their targets. I thought they could precision bomb anything from the stratosphere, they were so damn good.

I mean in reality I'm sure if they had enough aircraft and wanted to they could put a serious dent in Wagner. The question is whether they could easily scrape together enough operable planes after a year at war with Ukraine getting their asses shot off, concentrate them, and use them effectively. So far all they've done is send in one or two choppers at a time, get them blown up, then send in another one or two.

Also, a lot of their air force is on paper only. They don't have spare parts or maintenance crews, or fuel, or all the myriad other things the AF needs to work properly. They've got the same problem the army does. That's largely why Russia didn't overrun Ukraine in three days.
