The War in the Ukraine

A second British mercenary has been found dead in the Ukraine.
A week ago another one was found at the bottom of a lake with his hands tied behind his back in Ukrainian controlled territory.
With this one the MSM are now openly stating he was found dead nowhere near the frontlines. They seem to be blaming intra-foreigner disputes rather than the alternative scenario, that these murders are being done by Ukrainian forces.

This may be new, but American forces know how to conduct an offensive against hardened obstacles like those facing Ukraine without the use of air superiority; in fact, the Americans have been conducting large-scale exercises of this type since before the end of GWOT.
Ukraine's problem is not its lack of air superiority.
"Of every 100 people mobilized last fall in the Poltava region, only 10-20 remain, the rest are dead, wounded and incapacitated". This was stated by the acting head of the regional military commission Lieutenant Colonel Vitaly Berezhnoy, speaking yesterday at a session of the Poltava City Council.
Original source :
Ukrainian Armed Forces sniper Konstantin Proshinsky (call sign "Grandfather") commented on the statement of the Poltava military commissar about 80-90% of losses in Ukrainian units.
“In fact, these are true figures for our unit, including... Some have even less (remained in service - Ed.),” said a fighter fighting near Bakhmut.

I believe Fighterbomber gave a very realistic description of the situation:
hahaha
Exercises, not the real thing.
In the end of Crimean War, Royal navy built hundreds of coast assault gun boats to attack Russian fortifications in the Baltic; those came too late - so the only thing to do with them was to shell a small island in a show of power.
When asked if he was impressed by this exercise, allied French commander sarcastically noted that "Rocks don't fight back".
I believe I can answer both in the same way.
Which army would the Americans face on equal terms given all these conditions? Since the end of the Second World War, only the Soviet Army no longer exists and there was no need to fight a land war in Europe, because the USSR dissolved.
If air support is an enabler, it would simply be foolish not to use that capability to minimize casualties and exploit battlefield advantages, which has occurred in several wars they have entered. Furthermore, Americans train like they fight, somehow the exercise is designed to be as realistic as possible, which ends up resulting in many deaths as they have been happening.
Furthermore, they created and published these breach-opening campaign manuals, thinking about how to fight against the superior Soviet army.
Now it becomes quite ironic when mentioning the PLA's lack of war experience, in a magical way, this ends up not being true for the PLA either. I'm going to stop here, because we will be accused of deviating from the main topic.
You are of the opinion that the training cycle is still too short then?
Stop diverting from the topic. No one mentioned the PLA.
Blaming the Ukrainian for being incompetent since American has figured everything out from exercises already is pathetic.
