Well, what ever happens better happen fast—winter is coming and Soon rain will turn Ukraine into a mud pit—no one, no tanks or anything will be able to move. Then comes the snow and cold. No advances, no victories—just cold and suffering. General Winter is Russia’s greatest ally, always has been. Yes, they will lob rockets at each other, fill headlines with useless propaganda victories—and the war will drag on until the elections heat up in Europe and the USA. The war be decided in Iowa not Kiev or Berlin.
General winter worked for Russia, but also for Ukraine
Atacms, tarus, f-16s, himars, Excalibur, cluster, jdams…. Will be interesting to see how well Russia can supply its troops and protect its assets
Hiding in wood lines has not been that effective, hiding in leafless tree lines much less I would imagine
Personally a few months of attritional battles will favor the Ukrainians
But who knows
