The War in the Ukraine

Clearly mixed up equipments doesn't help logistic but it's also a pain for training. But seeing how it goes on the front, frontline equipments are near single use anyway. When broken they are just left there in the fields.
That's so far from the front... deep infiltration from neighbors country ?
I only see like 2 photos of the same bomber but don't have more visual evidence for the claims of 2 or several bombers destroyed. The next concern is how protected the F-16s might be in Ukraine.
Why infiltration from neighbours? Allegedly a drone attack.
Well, if indeed legit, it confirms that at least one bomber was indeed destroyed and not as claimed by Russian sources „only slightly damaged!“ So yes, it confirms only one but it is anyway closer to what Ukraine reports posted than what Russia claims and as such let‘s wait and see, but I rate the second one not unlikely.
-Luna 25 lander got fucked up.
-Tu-22m3 bomber got hit.
-still have Ukrainian drones and missiles hit Russian cities.
Geez what a shitty week for Russia. I hope the 42 F-16s are convincing enough for Russia to launch an offensive once they get to Ukraine. Because I doubt Russia will enjoy having 42 of these aircrafts throw cruise missiles into Moscow which might be the final straw.

Stryker destroyed. Troop payload failed to disembark. These photos indicate that the VDV is involved in Rabotino. The Strykers belong to Ukraine's 82nd Brigade, their last reserve brigade with Western equipment.
M113 destroyed. Also by the VDV.
Green reticles around a Bradley indicates that the target is being lased by the drone, which will be followed next by a Krasnopol or Kitolov strike. Also by the VDV in Rabotino. As the VDV frequently depends on their Nona-S or Nona-SVK self propelled mortars, it could be a laser guided Kitolov round fired from a mortar but I'm just speculating.
Readying the FPV drones by a paratrooper.
Unidentified burning AFU vehicle in Rabotino the work of the VDV.
VDV trooper fires MANPADS on an AFU UAV. This is from the 98th VDV.
Multiple losses of Strykers courtesy of the VDV. If you're bleeding Strykers this isn't looking good for the AFU's 82nd.
Ukrainian DRG hit by ATGM by the 98th VDV located in the Artemovsk front.

Calm down, first F-16s don't carry cruise missiles and how should Russia launch now a counter-offensive if defensive operations are barely possible?
Depend of the drone type... if it's some small quad, they need to come close.
If it's a long range drone, it would have targeted a long static aircraft on GPS. If they have used video feed for final aiming it would rely on satellite link or an infiltration team.
