With the warning that I am not a general and don't play one on TV. 
We are just talking basic battle strategy 101.
And I am a total amateur.
Yes it makes sense to do long range artillery, missiles, air strikes prior to sending in the ground troops.
This way Putin can avoid some troop casualties and also cut down on the troops needed. It will mean more civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure however. Probably Putin doesn't care about that.
Yes I am reading that Ukraine air power is weak.
And how long can they stand up to 100,000 Russian troops after missiles and airstrikes?
Some reports say the ground will be a muddy mess at the end of March. So Putin either has to get his troops in and out or stay put?
