and i noticed that not many people seems to know that Ukrainian supposedly have Neptun missiles & Grom/Hrim-II. The later which said to be funded by Saudi. Thus no one really seem to ask what happened to Ukrainian arms Industry.

It definitely would not end in few days. Ukraine is still 40 millions country with massive arsenal. With time, strikes on ammo depots/fuel storages would degrade capability. But it would take time.

Yeah you're definitely right, I took some artistic liberty with my words. What I meant to say but didn't is that if the Russians had numbers they could make a huge push here with a big force. Then they could trap the Ukrainian army in the Donbas and practically seal the deal, at least for the conventional phase of the war.

US has rarely been tested. The last time they were was in Vietnam. they lost 3k fixed wing aircraft, 5k helicopters, 50k+ own troops killed, 200k+ puppet troops killed. Vietnam had 1% GDP and 10% population of the US.

If Russia lost 10% of that to Ukraine with 1/4 population and 1/8 GDP, it would be called a disaster.

The US was there for 12 YEARS. How long has Russia been fighting in Ukraine? A month?

Story of the war so far. So many fronts are stalled because of lack of numbers

The "if only Russia had more numbers" is what the military analysts are going to talk in the future for this war

or alternative theory is that open many fronts to stir up things so that aviation and missiles can attack them.
every soldier or vehicle that comes out and go back to any base is tracked. very similar to Syria strategy.
these are the guided one.

A senior U.S. defense official said Russia had also fired more than 1,200 ballistic missiles and cruise missiles — all of which are guided — at targets in Ukraine since the invasion, but questioned Russia’s claims of using hypersonic missiles.

The most intense conventional fighting was 1965-1972, prior to that was just advisors and after was Vietnamization under Nixon.

After US pulled out ARVN outnumbered PAVN by 50%, with 1.5 million troops in 1974 vs. 700k PAVN and 200k Viet Cong. They folded in 1975.
