I wish they were still at home with their families but once they start coming, you have to respond
Looks like ZSU stopped rationing ammo since the deliveries will commence shortly. This could’ve been done 6 months ago and the Russians could’ve been stopped in Avdiivka, but instead some politicians got an extra yacht.
It seems Russia can sustain such losses without issue if they continue to advance and capture new territories, also planning to open a new front in Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts.
I sincerely hope that F16s will become a game changer similar to HIMARS. It appears that in recent months, Ukraine has been struggling to maintain its defensive lines, primarily due to the extensive use of heavy glide bombs by Russia. To combat Russian jets effectively, Ukraine will require long-range Air-To-Air missiles, such as the British “Meteor.”
It’s odd to me reading the comments here and elsewhere: it’s either jubilation over how the weapon deliveries are producing miracles or absolute doom ans gloom.
Russia got months of building momentum as they stopped the UA offensive, got their own gear coming and UA both used up alot of material and wasnt resupplied. So yeah, they’ve been advancing and still are. Situation sucks.
At the same time, UA has clearly begun using more stuff – maybe using more of what they had before now they know more is arriving very soon. And they’ve used new stuff, ATACMS at least. Reports of big Russian losses accumulate in the last few days. There’s also alot of stuff about advancing Russians and to me, that all says that yeah, due to their vast superiority in numbers (manpower + general stuff), they still are on the offensive. But now finally UA can start to blunt the impact, make it cost them alot for every meter again. If they continue to increase Russian losses and can stabilise the lines, hold out til 2025 and hopefully, both western production and political will shall give them the upper hand then.
All these stories of Russian losses to keep the morale up, yet Ukraine is losing,on the battlefield, and a major Russian breakthrough could come any day.
The Ukrainians have no fortified lines to fall back on, and the Russians will roll straight through them and continue on unapposed all the way through Ukraine.
It’s a line of hell FOR Russia, it’s not Russia’s.
