There can’t be that many castoff MIGs and parts for them. UKR has to be moved to the F platform as RU ain’t providing them any MIGs

There are. But what a great way to bring all NATO nations away from Russian aircraft. Yo, Romania, ya got some Mig-29 engines? Cool, here is an F-16 program. 

Serbia, since you want to side with Russia enjoy your crap and watch what we do with the surrounding nations. FAFO.

    I volunteered today. Log/Admin role to replace people for 30-60 days. The operation is in the west, or should the Orcs win will be pulled back behind the NATO wall. Either way the humanitarian effort

Ukraine uses their missiles against ammo depots, supply hubs, command posts.  Russia uses their missiles mostly against civilians. And Russia is using a lot of bombers and ships to launch, and the ships in particular are resource intensive to maintain.
it’s almost as if Russia knows they can’t win, and so will destroy everything they can’t have   
 

I think it is an attempt to provoke NATO into intervention so Putin can call mobilization.

With the colossal loss of equipment, I don't think mass mobilization would help much against NATO. Russia's only card left is nuclear and that's enough to keep NATO out of the war.

I have been thinking that Russia is trying to provoke Ukraine into similar atrocities, with the hope that the West would recoil a little from its support.

If Putin’s scared of his people with mobilization I seriously doubt he’ll shoot any nukes.

We "NATO" aren't going into Ukraine.

This war has turned into an artillery battle.  At the rate Russia is using and losing artillery shells, are they keeping up with manufacturing new ones?

We're already in there. Sure, there aren't any armies in there. But that's where all our equipment and training is going.

Belarus is fucking around and finding out.  Their civilian population is getting all of the benefits (sanctions, western companies leaving, etc. ) that Russians are getting, just without losing family members in combat (yet).

 

When all is said and done, I think Lukashenko gets run out of power and Putin succeeds in driving Belarus towards the West as well.  Ole Luka' must sleep with one eye open because there must be a multi-hundreds of thousands long line to stick a knife in straight through his black heart.

@atomheartbevo et al - I'm not seeing nearly as much about the air war - such as it exists - as we did earlier in the war.   Apparently fear of SAMs has kept fixed wing operations down on both sides?  

Are you all seeing something I'm not seeing?

Seems like it's 1916 all over again with low and slow - rotary winged - being the order of the day.  

On another note, if Putin follows through with the tried and true Russian mechanism of throwing bodies at a military problem until numbers are overwhelming, the long term outlook may be poor for Ukraine.  Hopefully we see more people throwing burning tires through recruitment office windows in Russia.

In my amateur opinion, mostly SAMs plus proliferation of stand off weapons and general Russian lack of giving a shit about accuracy contributing to lack of russian air. Additionally, the longer the war the higher the number of complex Russian assets down for maintenance.

I know it's been said many times, but the Ukr Air Force still operating is incredible.  Yesterday SU-29 taking down a cruise missile was great to see. Their distributed operations, maintenance teams, logistics, etc deserves tons of appreciation and study post war. 

I am not so sure Putin can use the tired and true war of attrition, specifically with manpower. Most reports I've seen have the Ukrainians with a larger standing army in the war than the Russians. Russia moved to a command style war economy this week and using financial incentives/PMCs for shadow mobilization.

The Russian advantage in artillery, both in systems and ammunition, is their primary means of advance. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the Russians still have enormous amounts of both, their weakness is the logistics.

I think this is where the HIMARS and MLRS are so important.  The Russians can’t take advantage of their fixed piece artillery advantage if they can’t get shells to the front.  Without the ability to walk their soldiers forward behind a curtain of artillery, the Uke small unit tactics once again achieve tactical success.

Insane Russian TV.  They probably already have a victory trophy for Putin made, just like the national championship trophy that aggy had made for Jimbo Fisher.

I sometimes think these motherfuckers truly want to fight with NATO

On Russian state TV, referring to the worldwide effect of sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, Apti Alaudinov said that those who are "cold and hungry" will be warmed up by God... "in hell, on judgment day." State TV host laughed & agreed.”

They are just a barking dog.   They cannot even manage Ukraine they think they can handle the US?  HAHA HAHA HAHA HA HA.   The UK and France would mop the floor with them by themselves while we ate popcorn and checked our phone.

^Morons, they bombed a truck carrying logs, and then claimed they destroyed HIMARS.
