I would say, due deficiency of aircraft fuel... The Soviet Union has improved in the years before WW2 many of their capabilities but still suffers on many areas: chemistry, oil and fuel production, aluminium production, HE production, the list is long.

Under these condition, I don't believe, the soviet leadership and system was incompetent

By the way, the training level was also improved in compare to 42-43.
