It's not just Russia. Planning air operations is far harder than it looks.
In the initial phases of the UK/French air attacks on Libya in 2011, the French Air Force plus a French carrier ended up only able to combined together sustain a rate of one to two supported ground attack missions per day.

If I recall correctly, the primary bottleneck was planning. Once the US joined in and provided planning support, the rate of French sorties per day went considerably up.
