#36. Russia started this war and they have not won. They are now retreating from Kyiv and moving to shore up their positions in the east. Those are facts which supersede all others. How those facts are reported and who reports them have no bearing on them.

The Ukrainian AF tweet also states what it needs to counter Russian aviation. Look at it as a shopping list instead of a admission of defeat. They want to get their hands on 4th generation aircraft, F-16s, F-15s, more and better surface to air missiles, S-300s and 400s, Patriots, NASAMS.

They are getting more weapons now, more Stingers, British Starstreaks (extremely good), and current anti-tank rockets and missiles. They need heavier weapons to carry the fight. Those weapons, Tanks, heavier SAMS, and fighters, take more time for governments to approve and deploy than man portable weapons.

The Russian air force has shown it is having the same problems as their ground forces. They are mostly using daytime operations, no coordination with ground forces, and limited use of guided weapons. That is fine for bombing cities block by block. It is not good enough when the enemy has comparable weapons to fight back. Russian aircraft are not going into areas covered by Ukrainian's medium and long range air defense missiles.

Ukraine is the size of Texas. Russia has shown poor ground control and airborne early warning needed to counter the Ukrainian AF. If Ukraine was going up against USAF AWACS, F-15s and F-16s, they would have been out of action in hours.

On the first day of the invasion Russia only fired a few cruise missiles at airfields, did not put one out of action, and called it a day. No matter their size or what they claim they are capable, how they are fighting is their actual level of competency and effectiveness.

It’s outright fantasy to suggest that Russia is losing to the Ukraine’s garage sale/potluck efforts to arm untrained citizens and train their pilots on gifted next generation jets. You are quoting MSM liars and traitors like they are gospel, despite the realities of modern warfare.

said, "Less than half of Ukraine’s coastline is majority ethnic Russian. "
to take the highways between Crimea and Taganrog(Russia.) That would be M14, the city of Zaporizhzhia Oblast and E105. The Ukranian government wouldn't allow transportation through this region and they placed missiles in this area pointed at the Kerch Strait bridge.

Northern Ukraine was never their objective. Any grammar school boy could explain the tactics involved here when Ukraine cut off their supplies to Crimea

That war map clearly shows to me a massive diversion on the North from the main objective on the coast in the South east.

It’s happening.

Have you ever worn a uniform? Do you know how long it takes to get trigger pullers up to speed? For the basics, not that long actually.

You’re a paper warrior. All you do is look at published numbers. You don’t have a clue about intangibles like unit morale, cohesion, dicipline, etc.

putlers hordes fled from the Kyiv area to avoid being cut off and captured by Uke counter attacks. Do you really believe the bs that the northern front was just a feint?

You were a good resource during the covid days. Sorry to see you defending war crimes in the here and now.

Yes! It’s vastly superior to yours.

In your dreams.

My best pal in high school was the class valedictorian and has a PhD in chemistry [works for Pfizer out East].

It was universally acknowledged that I was the smartest in the class [though an academic slacker, because I was busy sponging up every book I could get my hands on].

BTW - I'm the guy you call to fix your personal physical plant, because you were too busy being "smart" to learn how to deal with real-world stuff.

I wasn't.  winking face

LoL! You should try to get your war on reality published.

Battle of Kyiv (2022)

Following the successful Ukrainian counterattacks in late March,[118][119][120] Russia announced it was withdrawing its forces from the Kyiv area on 29 March.[121] Taking Kyiv was deemed to be a key objective and their failure to take it was viewed as setback for the campaign in general.

I don’t defend war crimes. That’s the MSM and Biden’s terrain. Haven’t you wondered why the same people who work to destroy President Trump are all saying we should support the Ukraine? I’m not going to be used by them in their information war. I don’t understand how anyone could know the history of the Deep State’s infiltration/corruption of the Ukraine, and Biden’s role in it, and still believe their propaganda.

“Russian-speaking Ukrainians” doesn’t mean they approve of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine’s borders.
