100% AgreeAll that Russian hardware and munitions used during their Baltic posturing is a clear example of how far Russia has it's head up it's ass.
Their troops are being slaughtered in Ukraine and desperately need the CAS that's being showcased in a sterile environment.
Bodyguard was the first word that came to my mind when I read about those papers (screenshots).There are also claims these papers have been faked or at least altered to better fit russian propaganda
Thank you GTX much appreciated.

If I was Finnish, the temptation to hold my own exercise with thirty aircraft, would have been so tempting.Fifteen whole aircraft?! Whatever shall we do?
*yawn*
I found this part to be interesting considering the importance to Russia of newly mobilised reserves to fill the line, due to casualties.From ISW:
A Ukrainian official reported that Russian aviation units are changing tactics, possibly due to aviation losses and depleted stocks of high-precision weapons. Ukrainian Air Force Spokesperson Yuri Ihnat reported on April 7 that Russian aviation units are reducing their operations in the immediate vicinity of Ukrainian positions and are increasingly relying on more remote aviation strikes with guided aerial bombs.[11] Ihnat stated that Russian Su-35 aircraft can use these munitions from more than 50km away from the line of contact and that Ukrainian forces are unable to drive Russian aviation units away from Ukraine's borders at this range.[12] These modified aerial bombs are likely less precise than other munitions that Russian aviation units have previously used in Ukraine. Russian forces may be changing aviation tactics to mitigate the risk of further aviation losses by operating out of the range of most Ukrainian anti-aircraft and air defense systems, at the cost of the ability to conduct close air support.

Nothing like a great kitbash. I remember in Iraq, the variety of field modifications applied to soft Humvees. One had a captured 14.5mm anti aircraft gun mounted in the cargo space.
