A lot of the Russian gear has "Z" painted on it, so I'm going to call them Zorro. Z for Zorro.

But the Russians are attacking with airborne forces. Destroying infrastructure will not slow them down.

Correct, MANPADs were defeated by flares and probably jamming.
It was a really stupid ambush because of all the guys wasting ammo and giving away their position with useless small arms fire when the helicopters were still well outside of effect range.
They might have had more luck had they held their nerve and only fired with the MANPADs when the helos were close to give the pilots minimal warning and no reaction time. Although that might not have worked either if the helicopters had up to date self defence suites, which would have triggered automatically upon missile launch detection.
Z for Zelenskyy
So Russian armor has pushed 65 km into Ukraine at least
Wow, reaching the Dnieper without a fight. Still early days but is it possible for Russia to set up a puppet east of the Dnieper?
Fully agree, however the USA get into tehy current position by violence, so why not repeat it ?
And anyway, this situation creating a completly new framework for any future strategy.
For Russia, i think its better to have an idiot as a president than a capable person stepping up to replace him.
