Last figure I saw was 25k but I've seen 50k too, whatever is right.

So how can RUS destroy a convoy...
Locate it and strafe it. You at least stop it. You might not kill every last man but you slow down the advance considerably. That's assuming it's actually a convoy rather than covert troops sneaking around in civilian vehicles. But, considering they are capable of shooting down aircraft, I'm assuming it's a fairly overt advance; that is, the Russians shouldn't have a problem identifying them.

You're taking the figures that Russia can kill with planes on on open battlefield spanning hundreds of miles and using that as a baseline to estimate how many cars an air raid can take out.

The column traveled halfway from Rostov to Moscow and the Russian AF did fuck all. That says about all you need to know about what they're capable of right now.
It says Russia were unable to deploy the air force, for whatever reason, not that the air force was incapable of dealing with the threat.

Any competent air force can deal with a ground based convoy. It's like you don't understand how dominant an air force is over ground troops in the modern age. Big fucking bombs. The moor tooled up the ground force, the higher your planes go. Easy game.

Putin lacked the will to act with decisive force. He surely didn't lack the means. If he did, Russia are in big, big trouble.
