Remember when Putin boasted in 2014 that he could take Kiev in ‘two weeks’?
It’s amazing how they’ve been driven back from their initial gains by hand me down Soviet equipment. Imagine how much worse for them this gets if the Ukrainians get more western kit!
Turns out Russia is a backwater and just didn’t know it yet. How long before you think they catch on?
Recent glorious battlefield victories by the UA is exactly why the Ukrainians need an immediate infusion of Abrams tanks and F-16s.
The Russians almost certainly have better equipment in the works, which will be bought by the factory output capacity.
The winter in Ukraine is not cold enough long enough for a sustained offensive. The Russians will try to hold their ground until their new weapons of war come.
