To get to battle around Kiev for the Ukrainians it is an hour’s walk.

For the Russians supplies are a 100 miles drive away.

It is the home court advantage in spades.

It is particularly evident in moral.

Ukrainians fighting for home, family, existence.

Russians fighting for Russian imperial expansion? Against NATO expansion? To de-NAZIfy Ukraine? The incentives are not nearly as clear.

It is clear to me this is as much a drone war as an armor war.

Tanks and APCs are looking like battleships; big, expensive, vulnerable. Maybe aircraft carriers should be included...

“It is clear to me this is as much a drone war as an armor war.”

The Ukrainians have clamped down on leaks of TB2 strikes. Miss seeing those...

But drone warfare is the future (and now).

Aircraft carriers are history once they are used in an actual war. I am not talking about skirmishes with terrorists or third world nations like Iraq and Libya.
