It's also possible Russia sees no need to use such advanced systems and would be saving those for NATO. It seems to be the typical approach of now laying waste to cities using less advanced conventional weapons as he's done before. I can't imagine him using the high tech stuff unless NATO becomes involved directly. It seems Ukraine is just being used as a pawn in a new Cold War. We won the last one being able to break them economically, so can we break them again in another long drawn out cold war. I don't know since China is gonna be the key player and ultimate winner in this.
