No, the reason for the mobilization is that the material used to make the dummies makes them too valuable. The new conscripts are being brought in as a cheaper alternative.

Every bit of working air defense is already in theater, surrounding Moscow, or being used as a terror weapon, they can't protect everything now.

I doubt they ever could. Even superpowers don't have "cessna intercept" levels of air defense in a solid ring around their countries and definitely not an umbrella over the entire country; see 9/11.

Not to say Ukraine didn't have to do interesting routing and other tricks to make this work - it is an achievement, but they're assisted by the advantage lying with the attacker right now.
At least, with regards to the 70s/80s tech being used. :getin:

9/11 was hijacked planes - i.e., they would have been within air defense umbrellas already

sure but it was multiple aircraft over hours, "cessna-intercept levels of defense" suggests you're toast once IFF sorts itself out. And as noted there's the Rust example where he had absolutely no cover as a scheduled commercial. noone has best possible air defense coverage of their entire border.

At the end of last year, bunch of Russian celebrities (including that pro-Kremlin weirdo Kirkorov) had a private party where the dress code was "almost naked". Pro-Kremlin politicians and milbloggers were mad that celebrities were partying while soldiers were dying in the trenches and so on (which is basically no departure from the normal functioning of the Russian "elites"), and attending celebs faced backlash and some faced some formal punishment.
