> It takes tanks half-a-day to cross the Baltic states to reach the sea

And how long does it take for the F35 to fly across all Baltic States? 30 minutes at max speed. Without air supremacy, Russia would be dead in the water.

> That is the time Russia wants to buy. Once Russian forces are already in Riga, Tallinn, Vilnus, the NATO will have a decision to make on whether to bomb the Russian forces already placed by that time among the Baltic states population.

If you think Poland and Finland would sit on their hands and do nothing, you're being naive.

RF has no air supremacy in Ukraine, so they have high loses, but they advance anyway. Small or large losses will not stop an empire, except Imperial Japan maybe.

Ukraines Air Force is tiny and poorly equipped. Compare it to just the Nordics for example who are soon on hundreds of F-35 and Gripen. Staging any mass movements against that kind of air support will be challenging.

Besides NATO already has a large land based army as well. US, Turkey, Poland , Finland all have large ground forces

As I said, RF has no air supremacy already. They have high loses because of that. They accept their losses and move forward.

Similar tactics was used by communists in Vietnam and Korea.
