I think it isn't as complicated as all that. They have to regroup because losing a big piece of their military array has left them weaker. Any escalation/retribution may bring more attacks to have to deal with. The Russians have to assess, reallocate, make a different plan. All this takes time.

Once the sting from the punch in the nose is gone, I think it's game on, ****.

It's just practical rather than masterful.

I don't think so. I agree that his tentativeness is born of caution - like a guy who got knocked down and is gathering his wits and assessing his circumstances. He' sniffing the air, and he's focusing on blocking any future such strikes.

Where I disagree is that the strike weakened him against Coupkraine. Against NATO, in an all-out, absolutely. But the **** he hit was nukular. Putin hasn't relied on, and doesn't plan to rely on, nukular weapons with Coupkraine. If he does decide to go nukular, those bombers will be redundant. 
 
 By the way, I googled it, and you're right. He does use those bombers tactically in the Coupkraine war. They're not just parked - they're a part of the arsenal he is using against the green t-shirt. I stand corrected - second day in a row I hadda put it in reverse. I'm slipping.
