We're observing a peer-to-peer war in The Ukraine, where the PEER adversaries are slugging it out like an Irish stand-down. Only Russia has an 8 to 1 advantage in artillery, and has totally degraded the Ukrainian air defense system.
If Russia still possesses an 8-1 advantage, why do you consider Ukraine their peer? Shouldn't the side with 8x the artillery be considerably superior to the side that has only 1/8th the artillery?
Why, with this presumed enormous artillery advantage, did the Russians find themselves forced back from Nikolaev into a "futile" position in Kherson where they were forced to flee across the river?
How bad does the Russian army suck to possess an 8-1 advantage in artillery and still get forced into retreat after retreat by the foe you started the war with?
Why do you think that is happening to the Russian forces if they possess this massive superiority in arms? Are they not even 1/8th as competent as the Ukrainians?
What's the reason for their repeated reversals and retreats from "futile" fighting positions in Ukraine?
How do you explain it to yourself?
The fact remains that the ancient F-16s that were heading for the junkpiles of the EU have still not been delivered to the Eastern Front [making them vaporware for propaganda purposes] - nor have the non-existent pilots materialized.
The Ghost of Lucerne, Denny Davydov, will NOT be reporting for hamburger duty any time soon, as he parties the night away in the Swiss capital.
As I said before, here we see the mind of the neophyte who doesn't understand anything about the military, military history or usages.
His mind is drawn back to his rice paddy analogy like a dog to his own pile of spew.
