“Regardless of what you or the NYT thinks of Russia’s aviation performance...”
Hey now, you cited them as a source. You can’t very well reject them now that I point out they contradict the picture you want to paint. I’d just suggest you be more careful picking your sources next time.
” they do fly hundreds of sorties every day”
Sorties that skirt the borders of Ukraine because they will get shot down if they go much further, since they DO NOT have air superiority.
“they are without any doubt, winning”
Well, I, for one, doubt it.
“Because they are fighting a “special military operation” and not a full scale war they have only brought 15% of their artillery capability to the battle field...”
You say it’s because of their mealy-mouthed excuse of “not fighting a real war”, but I say it’s more likely because either most of their artillery is in a poor state or repair, or because they are afraid of losing it, since a lot of the equipment they brought into Ukraine has either been destroyed or abandoned.
I use facts; you use YOUR OPINION and you distort facts.
You said Russia did not fly any missions. I knew that was untrue because, like I said, I USE FACTS and I have read many times that they fly hundreds of sorties a day. “My source” as you put it, confirmed what I said so it was an appropriate source to use.
I won’t bother to refute your other statements because every single one of them were just your opinion and totally devoid of facts.
Obviously, I know your opinions are incorrect because, again, as I said, I USE FACTS and the internet is chock full of facts that refute everything you opined.
