More dead Russians and more destroyed Russian equipment.

Works for me.

The lesson here is that the balance of weapons has turned to advantage for air defence.

No good news for militaries that require air superiority as part of their victory plan.

Still in the 2nd quarter of the game. Let us know when it is over who won.

IF the Ukes really are shooting down Russian Su-34’s, they’re using million-dollar per shot Patriot missiles to do it, and they’re going to run out of missiles before Russia runs out of jets.

Unless, of course, Johnson caves and gives the Dems their Ukraine funding.

Either way this proxy war is costing the US taxpayers a lot of dollars, all the while the Ukrainian population is being fed into a pointless meatgrinder.

A plane here, a plane there, pretty soon this war is going to get expensive.

It’s pretty clear to me that we are micromanaging the Ukes anti aircraft efforts with in-theater “advisors/operators” and giving our best targeting data to boot. Someone at high levels feels it is worth the risk of a Russian nuclear response to degrade the Russians supply of planes and ships and fine tune how to defeat them.
Just my 2 cents but I think spot on.
No?

Ukraine Loses More Villages, Zelenskyy visits Riyadh

Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from two more villages near the eastern town of Advikka, which was captured by Russian troops earlier this month. Ukrainian military spokesperson Dmytro Lykhoviy said troops withdrew from the villages of Severne and Stepove on Tuesday. This follows a retreat from the eastern village of Lastochkyne on Monday.

The Russian defence ministry too announced that its forces now “occupied more advantageous lines and positions” in the area, and had now targeted three other settlements nearby. The capture of Avdiivka in Donetsk Oblast is seen as Russia’s most significant win since it seized the war-devastated city of Bakhmut in May last year.

In case anyone is confused, the Russians can destroy the West in 30 minutes if it desires and there’s not a damned thing Europe, America, Canada, Australia can do to stop it from happening.

Keep kicking that cat.

Ukraine always touts some great feat in the midst of terrible news on the frontlines. Currently, Ukraine is suffering 1000 kia a day for over 30 days. Artillery and Fab 500-1500s have destroyed all the hasty fallback positions.

Losing 10 planes may be a bigger deal than 3 Abrams destroyed.

These type headlines always signal Russia is having great successes.

I believe the Russians are trying to destroy the Ukrainian army as their main goal.

If they launch a long-range offensive they will destroy much of Ukraine. When Russians take a city, all they get is rubble.

The Russians want a victory without bringing war to much of Ukraine, which would stir up far deeper and broader Ukrainian hatred of Russia.

The Russians I suspect have gone to manned aircraft because bigger explosive blasts are needed to knock out Ukrainian pillboxes.

Doesn’t really matter as Russia has a history of just winning through attrition. Look at WW II , Russia lost over 8.5 million troops vs Germany’s 5 million (and that 5 million was on all fronts)
