Perhaps I’m used to a good old fashioned American war which focuses on pummeling everything by air first.

Definitely just a difference in doctrine. In the West we believe in air superiority, in Russia they try to control the air from the ground. Heavily invested in surface to Air missiles with their aircraft having very little precision strike capability. Mostly still unguided weapons and free fall bombs. Their focus is more on bombing an area vs specific targets
