I really have to wonder how long the Soviets could maintain air superiority or parity. While their defenses would severely limit deep strikes I think their front lines would get hammered after the first week or so. It doesn't take that long to rebase aircraft and even with most NATO airfields severely damaged there are LOTS of civilian ones that I think we can safely assume the military would seize for the duration. While they wouldn't have pre-existing stockpiles of munitions they could probably be resupplied pretty much day-by-day, not optimal, but doable.

Interesting that virtually every "what if" I've ever seen assumes an initial successful a Soviet surprise attack.
