The facts are Western based hardware, training, operations are superior to their Russian counterparts. If that were true, Russia would have taken all of Ukraine and have its flags along Ukraine's borders from Poland to Romania.
You think like a westerner. “Shock and awe” works great against sandal wearing belligerents. The US has no concept or stomach for a war of attrition and , as we are witnessing, has grossly miscalculated the Russian Federation’s gigantic manufacturing base and resolve amongst other capabilities.
Today’s Russia is not Soviet Russia. The collective West is finally beginning to realize encroaching upon the Bear’s territory is a very, very dangerous and possibly fatal move.
As for now, It is clear Vlad still holds all the cards.Sanctions failed, western wonder weapons have failed ( the 5th M1 has been smoked), Ukie economy and infrastructure lies in ruins, manpower and arms dangerously close to depletion…
Spare me your Hopium, I prefer reality.
Marioupol, Bakmut, Avidivka…it appears Kharkov , the second largest city in Ukraine and largest industrial center is up next on Vlad’s chopping block… the entire city lies in darkness, no electricity and getting pounded by Vlad’s FAB 500 and 1500’s….this time, Vlad isn’t extinguishing substations, but the power generation facilities…..latest estimate is at least one year before fully operational- IF they can source the parts ( built mainly by Russia years ago).
Sure doesn’t sound like winning to me….and that Ukie toilet is getting hungrier for more $$$.
