That’s kind of the point of mutually assured destruction and why it’s nothing more than sending arms and money to Ukraine. They did the same in Korea and Vietnam, and we did it to each other in Afghanistan. This is just the new proxy front of a new Cold War.
Part of the reason why there’s no nato forces in Ukraine is for that very reason. Russia is probably being a bit measured with its Sabre rattling as well since taking Ukraine on paper should not have been this difficult for them. They aren’t losing. But this isn’t the similar to the 6 day war results anyone was expecting either. Which leads to a wide range of questions from their command structure to does their tech actually perform as well as they say it does. Which also may have them doubting their delivery method for their bombs.
I wouldn't take too much credit from them. They know all eyes are on them right now and likely don't want to show off every tool in their arsenal. They are probably not operating anywhere near their peak just so they have aces left in case things do escalate.
The whole war stinks from both sides on how its played out, so I wouldn't be surprised if its being drug out for some unseen objective either side is waiting on the other for.
The Soviets did send combat troops to fight in (North) Korea and Vietnam (North Vietnam, also KGB in Laos).
