Some holes in that opinion. First off, the guy assumes that the long strategic raids would hit all the Soviet weakpoints. It is not so simple.
Second, even if the aerial battles over 6000m would be carnage to Soviet aircraft, still the CAS missions would be well received by them. Both the Yanks and Soviets had a strong mudmoving department. This leads to considering the potential the Red Army had in 1945. On th ground methinks it wouldn`t be so easy for US/GB against reds. Wars IMO are still won on the ground, not in the air.
