Got my souvenir edition of the Ghost of Kyiv socks yesterday, yo.
Ukraine has a few planes, nothing to the extent to provide consistent and deliberate support or cover for Ukrainian ground operations. Fact.
The name of the game in modern and post modern combat is COMBINED ARMS, and that is near non-existent from the Ukrainians. Fact.
I think you’re right....
and yet they’ve done remarkably well considering.
The Ukrainians are developing a new form of warfare relying on drones rather than planes. It probably won’t be enough, but they have shown that the Russians are vulnerable. The Ukrainians need to develop Nuclear weapons. Since the Russians have already threatened to use them, the Ukrainians are now morally and legally free to develop them.
Too bad no one informed Russia of that fact. If they had, we wouldn't have been able to read newspapers by the light of burning russian armor.
