Zelensky said last year that tanks are nice, but modern fighter jets were needed to win the war. He was right - the Ukraine is losing this war because Russia has air dominance.
Both Russia and the Ukraine fly drones. This is the first extensive use of drone warfare. But the main reason the Ukraine uses drone warfare to pick off slow moving tanks is because they have no real fighting air force. The Ukraine’s drones are, in effect, their ‘air force’ in this war.
So Russia has air dominance with fighter jets and air defenses, while the Ukraine lacks sufficient air defenses and lacks modern jets. Both have drones. And yet you celebrate as the Ukraine can no longer replace its dead or wounded, ‘fighting’ with an under equipped cohort of poorly trained men that continues to shrink.
The Ukraine is losing, obviously. They can’t stand up a runway near the border for the modern jets (older rebuilt F-16’s) they will slowly begin to receive at the end of the year. Construction efforts would be cratered with bombs. They can’t park jets where they need them because their lack of adequate air defenses mean the jets would be bombed. It would take years to build an adequate air defense system there. The Ukraine simply can’t win.
All this pointless death on both sides. Utter destruction of the Ukraine’s infrastructure. Your gleeful posts about killing soldiers in a tank reminds me of the head of Iran, gleefully laughing while dragging his fingers through the ashes of US servicemen Killed in action. You’re not celebrating victory over an enemy, you’re gleefully feeding on death while your country dies.
They would still be alive if Putin didn’t send them to kill Ukrainians.
Be mad at Putin for not giving them a real tank.
