If that convoy is not attack then we will all know who has air superiority in the Ukraine.
The Ghost of Kiev!
Ukrainian pilots are having to borrow fighters from other countries. That doesn’t sound like Ukraine air superiority to me.
“They should get their air force up and stop these guys. “
17 mile long convoy. Hundreds of miles in to Ukraine.
What resistance have they met?
“They should get their air force up and stop these guys.”
I’m sure a lot of old A-10 pilots are looking at those satellite images and salivating.
Couple A10 warthogs would have quite a time with a 17 mile long convoy.
NB-CIA "journalist" Richard Engel (NBC News US senior correspondent) near-demands that nuclear powers enter a hot war.
Ukes should lay out some IEDs.
They used a drone to attack a smaller convoy over the weekend. Why not do the same again? Don’t understand why they’re waiting
Yes a 17 mile stretch of road choked with vehicles is what you call a “target rich environment.”. Vehicles in convoy are at their most vulnerable.
Which makes me wonder about the authenticity of the story?
They have also told us Ukraine’s air force is alive and well and receiving reinforcements (70 aircraft) from three Eastern European countries in NATO (Bulgaria, Poland, Slovakia).
If that’s sticking out so big and long, you chop its off.
If it’s really out there?
Putin is riding up front on his white horse, no shirt, grinning maniacally.
I read it on the net!
“Look what a fine mess you got us in, Ollie!”
Agreed. Seems like a sitting duck. Similar to WW II where the nazis were sabotaged trying to bring their tanks from southern France to Normandy. The constant sabotage bogged them down for 3 weeks, and by that time it was too late.
They’ve been reporting the same number of miles all evening.
Maybe the Ukranians don’t want to fight them on open ground, i.e. ground favorable to tanks.
In another day or so, Ukraine just might have sufficient time to get the Javelins,and time, and cover and concealment to set up the mother of all ambushs.
If they get into the city, expect snipers and Javelins to de deployed in depth; along with lots of mines and molotov cocktails being thrown from buildings. Urban warfare always favorS the defense.
Taking out air defenses in a large city is not so easy, not with larger ground-based fi,re against helicopters. Snipers with .50 cal sniper rifles and machine guns can do a lot of damage to a low flying helicopter.
Even a RPG can take out a low flying helicoper..
Not saying it it is going to happen, but it will not be easy for thr Russians in Kiev.
Sounds like they scraped up some replacements for all the troops and equipment they’ve lost thus far.
A Russian cruise missile one hour ago obliterated the main civil administration building in the center of Kharkiv
If Ukraine can hold out a couple more days, I think they will have the largest "finders keepers" in history.
