OK, fair enough. There might be several reasons why is air offensive more important for Americans than Russians and vice versa: 1. Russians won the WW2 using tanks on land, Americans won the WW2 using aircrafts over sea. 2. (If we assume Russians care less about the loss of their troops than Americans.) Attacking another country from the air is more expensive, but safer, than attacking it from the ground. 3. (If we assume Americans are more interested in projecting their force globally than Russians are.) It is easier to move airplanes/missiles/drones around the world on ships than to move heavy mechanized ground troops. On the other hand, Russians have sometimes led the development of heavy ICBMs and nuclear weapons, but that also seems to be more valuable as a global deterrent rather than something you would randomly use during an invasion.
