Russia still has an Air Force, but it has virtually no precision munitions and hasn’t been able to be used effectively in Ukraine due to MANPADS and other air defenses. The Russians can use planes to lob unguided rockets as a standoff weapon - not particularly impressive - or they can use them as a launch vehicle for cruise missiles. That’s fine for hitting a power plant, but almost no impact on the battlefield.

What load of crap. Read the damn column. Russia just crippled Ukraine's electric grid and took out several command centers, including the SBU headquarters and other command centers, WITH NO RESISTANCE WHATSOEVER.

That might be why Zelensky is begging us for air defense systems.

Just like with Russian collusion and Trump and leftists, you living an alternate universe.

So, as winter sets in and there’s no power, what are the Ukrainians going to do? Or is the US taxpayer going to pay for multi-million dollar generators and all the associated equipment and diesel to keep them running, so the Ukrainians can have power?
