It seems odd that after a few years of horrific attritional warfare, the Ukrainian military has suddenly become the most devastating force on the planet. Almost makes me think they’re getting direct help in the field.

I wonder how much it costs Russia to replace that fighter jet or if sanctions make if difficult to do so?

Ukraine’s military has NOT become “the most devastating force on the planet”.
What happened is that Muscowy seems to suck at planning, at logistics and at delegation of authority to smaller groups.
The border was barely defended, the logistics of getting fast-action troops seems to be non-existent and the troops that ARE there (like this 100 captured) have been told not to think without orders from above.
This was also the case during Soviet days that Russian units were basically told from the general down and were discouraged (putting it mildly) from thinking on their own. Having a compliant population who just follows orders has its negative sides.

Or these stories are complete BS. Which is more likely?

I suspect what we have here is AI-generated cheerleading BS presented as a "news" article, duplicated several times daily.
