Ukraine will fall in 2-4 days at this rate. Faster if the president flees.
Zelensky? He is a clown. He isn't the one in control. He is basically a mouthpiece for the regime. Not a very good one at that.
This can be seen by his campaign promises, the initial trouble he had when getting into office, and him breaking all his campaign promises as he acquiesced into his position. Do not worry, the Russians should know exactly who those people are.
The Su-35 has the upper hand and was turning to gain a good lock.
Looks the turn rate drove both jets to the deck and now the Mig has to either climb up and get picked off by the Su-35 or keep turning to hit the deck.
The MiG-29 is like four decades old by now. It relies way too much on IR missiles and has little endurance.
Maybe, but I still maintain that the number of troops committed from Russia on this attack are very low. Should had a minimum of 100k extra troops
You got it. A lot of people seem to think Ukraine is losing because of the vast hordes of Russian troops. When quite likely the Russians thus far have been using less troops than the Ukrainians. It is all about actual combat experience, equipment, and the command staff.
They need to have clear air domination to do that !
The Il-76 has better IR countermeasures than most Soviet transport aircraft.
The Russians have spent quite a bit on night fighting equipment. I guess they aren't going to let the Ukrainians rest.
Recall between the 16th and 20th, US pulled out some military advisor from Ukraine? The theory is that this group bought with them a Special Atomic Demolition Munition, a small nuclear device and gave it to the Ukrainians to assure them of their defences. Biden then found out about this and said have you lost your mind?! and had the team pulled out, and they took the device back with them.
Putin would then have found out about this from his intelligence services and went ballistic and ordered a much larger military operation than originally planned in response. This also explains also why at Munich Zelenskyy suddenly said if Ukraine isn't allowed to join NATO then maybe it's time for Ukraine to develop its own nuclear weapon, he had this device on his mind.
That isn't too implausible. Had Ukraine used nukes and it was found out they were provided by NATO it wouldn't go that well. As I already said here before Russia has the most modern nuclear deterrent of all 3 main nuclear powers.
