The footage could be propoganda but the explosions part is real. Even r/Ukraine many people reported hearing and witnessing missiles coming
Putin is naturally risk averse. The military hardliners will be pushing him everyday to retaliate with extreme force.
The Ukrainians are deluded unfortunately.
Yeah bombing a few random targets isnt enough. They need to strike hard with their airforce
They basically need their own Operation Desert Storm.
Why does Leatherhead always say "I guarantee"? Leatherhead is that talking crocodile on ninja turtles
its kind of embarrassing this whole thing isnt over... shits been 2 years since the russian invasion
Neither side can win decisively and both are locked into a war of attrition. Ukraine's has strong western support and advanced western air defenses but the front lines have mostly stalled. Russia still has huge reserves and a war economy still, while Ukraine relies heavily on foreign weapons and funding even after the loss russia is still quite strong but they aren't willing to launch a daring assault to end this war for once.
It will be difficult to replicate that drone operation. Apparently took 18 months to plan.
Russia 100% can win this. Itโs the political will that is lacking, like you say.
Can they please stop the restraint? Many Russians are dead
Ukraine, with Western help, has layered its skies with serious air defense Patriots, IRIS-T, NASAMS, and mobile systems. Every time Russia tries to push with their jets they get shot down. They can still win if they all out with their bombing squadron and use missiles to take out the ADs eith support from ground but launching such a large scale invasion takes a lot of time and comes with heavy losses.
This has been my opinion too in fact. The Russians can wage long term attritional warfare and minimize their casualties this way too.
i can play this game too
What do you think the final outcome of the war will be, Jason?
I am thinking of a frozen conflict. The front lines stay largely where they are with periodic offensives, drone strikes, and shelling, but no major breakthroughs. Lole Korea post-1953 or the Donbas from 2014 to 2022 The war never officially ends but active fighting slows down. Ukraine holds the west, Russia holds parts of the east and south.
Thatโs broadly my opinion too.
