Fox News Channel is reporting that the Russians are using “strategic bombers and ballistic missiles” against the Georgians, including against “civilian targets.”

This probably means Tu-95 Bear bombers and SS-1 Scud ballistic missiles.

This may indicate they are getting tough, but it more likely indicates that they do not have tactical air assets capable of doing the job.
