Drone isnt widespread in ODS and Kosovo. Azeri used TB2 to encircle the battlefield, actively looking for threat and dropping missile on them at almost 90 deg.

I agree that's the likely scenario. But I'm hoping for cracks, which are still possible.
That would be an insanely nihilistic bet, regardless of whether Article 5 gets triggered or not. There is no reason to test that right now. Things are not that desperate for Russia.
well... while the west likes scapels and tweezers... the russian hit it with hammer and sickle.
The Southwest advance stalled because the Ukrainians blew up a bridge to Odessa. The Russians sent a marine amphibious assault, so it will still get taken eventually regardless.
The Iraqis also had MiG-25 aircraft flying quite late into the 2003 Iraq war. You basically hide the aircraft, outside air bases, and only take them out later in the game. MiG-29 is good for this because it has good acceleration and turn rate being ideal point fighter. But their missile stocks are likely extremely limited and their sensors and weapon packages are crap.
The Russians don't have that many drones and they don't need to use them in this conflict. They are using attack helicopters.
It is still way too early.
I think it has nothing to do with logistics. This seems to be techniques they developed in Syria in counter insurgency warfare.
Unfortunately they aren't giving up and the fog of war makes people think they haven't had major casualties. But so far the burnt wrecks I have seen paint a quite lopsided picture.
You can't just hand over weapons to civilians and hope they will fight well. That is just unreasonable and results in disaster.
One of the analysts said Sunday. I thought it was too soon, but with them already at the capital, near Mariupol and Odessa, who knows.
The General Assembly has passed more resolutions against Israel than I can count and they always aren't worth the paper they are printed on because Daddy US vetos it in the Security Council. Two can play that game.
Actually, I don’t think that China has sufficient inventory, as of yet. At least in all combat domains.
Even the advanced technology part has an asterisk next to it. The majority of equipment in the US army's military is cold war era. F-15s, F-16s, Blackhawks, Abrams tanks are all from the 70s. And their logicistical platforms...LOL.
Plus all of their recent wars have been against massively unsupported enemies. Was there even a single instance in Iraq or Afghanistan of insurgents using MANPADs? No, they only faced AKs, RPGs and IEDs, and they still lost.
The next country NATO decides to invade China and Russia should give MANPADS, drones and other modern equipment to level the playing field.
That's true.
aircrafts are at a huge disadvantage as well, where can you land and refuel aircrafts when all the air fields are destroyed by ballistic or cruise missiles? ohhhh wait thats why they were targeting Ukrainian airfields 1st before the invasion.
