Interesting that there's been almosy mo activity for Ukrainian Air Force lately

The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking

More of the other S300 launchers being hit by Lancet-3. The enormity of the explosion means this is a total write off.
Some Ukrainian hq at the Kharkhiv region hit by Krasnopol.
Ukrainian forces spotted by thermal imaging, Russian 120mm mortars open fire. This at Avdiivka. This is typical of the fighting going on.
ATGM work of the 40th brigade of the Russian Far East Marines against Ukrainian infantry. Some images are censored for obvious reasons. The battle for Ugledar is far from over and the Russian Marines are hitting back.

That guy is cope central.
He is also blaming the hit building in Uman on Russia despite the videos of AD missiles hitting the place
They just lost one Su-24 in the Donetsk region. For the Russians, taking Su-24s out has gained new importance as potential JDAM carriers. Also there has been hits by JDAM against Russian occupied buildings in Bakhmut, so that should be considered UAF activity.
The Ukraine airforce i think recently show MiG-29 vid taking off doing a CAP sortie. But i guess they're far in the western side of the nation.
I'm curious however if they do sorties up to Black Sea region. The snake island is apparently still a No Man's land so Russian air defense are not there. The only threat would be Russian fighters.

Vehicule don't look destroyed but have probably lost the soft parts functions like radar and optical sensor systems. All these fragile sensors are probably in huge demand in repair yards and I can see the utility to field rugged low tech systems that don't require them. Dropped mortar and grenades, zala drones, switchblade, artillery all of these are probably eating tons of subsystems.
I see the new generation of MBT with all the bling bling cameras and sensors and I see the fields of Ukraine with 1m of mud and the air filled with shrapnels.
Not sure that everything is going in the right direction in developments for that kind of conflicts.
If they have to repair it, they would have to drag it out of Ukraine to Poland. Russia has been targeting repair and vehicle depots for months, and when one of these gets hit by a big missile, it will likely total the vehicles underneath.
Currently for Ukraine I'm fairly certain they have reached a stage where the munitions are far more valuable then the platform itself. From geopard to s-300s, any missiles and AA ammo destroyed probably hurts more than losing the vehicle itself.
Geopards have been in Ukraine for the better part of a year now, losing at least a few seems natural at this point.

It is absolutely relevant. You need launchers, and having spare launchers is good, if for nothing else than spare parts. Western Aid is also predicated on Ukraine retaining its vehicle parks. This is why they want to retrofit Buk systems into shooting AMRAAMs. Can't do that if they run out of launchers.
Russian experimentations with decoys, "double-tapping", and other variations of missile attacks have been pretty well documented and commented on by RUSI. This'll definitely be a formative conflict for Russian and Western militaries for years to come.
