Did the performance of the VVS influence the outcome - was its performance instrumental?
I know too little of the Winter War*, but if IIRC it was mainly the Soviet Army which suffered from bad tactics, difficult terrain and the weather (lessons learned the hard way?) and the Finns which exploited most of the Soviet weaknesses.
Did the Soviets attain their strategic goals (other than complete occupation of Finland)?
*what I know is from the Finnish and Western side.
