Russian airpower in Ukraine – Nuisance or Menace?
by Robert Dalsjö

After Hubris came Nemesis
Part 1 – An overview of the fighting
Part 2 – Some observations from the air domain
Part 3 – outstanding issues
How are Russian air forces really led and commanded?

As already noted, they can put whole provinces and cities to waste and make up in ruthless brutality much of what they lack in professionalism and prowess. They wage war in an old-fashioned manner, so old-fashioned that we are talking about the Old Testament or the Thirty Year's War, but unless stopped, that can be terrifyingly effective, as shown in Chechnya. They have probably killed 100.000 Ukrainians and driven 10 million from their homes; they are still attacking and still hold on to 20 per cent of Ukraine's territory.

For the first time on Russian TV, propagandists said that Putin and the country's leaders must resign and others need to be elected.

“Next year we have presidential election. We need to choose somebody else - and not Putin. Everything will be good then.”
