But does taking Kyiv really win the war for Russia? I would think that Ukraine has continuity of Govt and Command plans in place in Lviv and troops will fall back and fight on across the country. But holding Kyiv would be a huge morale victory for Ukraine and add embarrass the Russian military. |

If the US had procured near the original target amount, or to the first reduced amount of around 650 or so, the air force could easily establish a no fly zone over Ukraine airspace. This invasion would have been stopped before it started. Yup. At the very least, the first two days of this conflict prove dogfights are still a thing. |

Interesting post from DCS devs....we've already run across this here.
Dear Virtual Fighter Pilots, Partners, and Friends, During the past 30 years, we have worked hard to bring you the most realistic combat flight simulators available for PC. Be it a WWII aircraft or a modern fighter our aim was and remains to offer realism and fun to the entertainment market. With the exceptional technical progress made in hardware and software, it is difficult to tell the difference between DCS and real-world footage. This is wonderful for you and for the industry in general. However, in the light of the current situation unfolding in Ukraine, it is paramount to avoid generating images that could be misconstrued and potentially put lives in danger. Therefore may we beg you to be sensible and avoid using DCS to create videos of this nature. Our thoughts are with everyone during these uncertain times, and we thank you, our dedicated and caring community for flagging such content and bringing it to the media’s attention. Fake news of this nature is too serious to be left alone and needs to be called out by those of you who know what to look for. Thank you for your understanding and for your support. Kind regards The Eagle Dynamics team |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: .I hope that's blasted all over Russian news of all those boys dieing Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: Originally Posted By realwar: Ukraine shoots down transport plane carrying '150 Russian paratroopers' trying to storm Kyiv as Putin launches full-scale assault on capital: Zelensky says nation's fate will be decided TONIGHT Ukraine's armed forces said on Friday night that they had shot down a Russian military transport plane carrying 150 paratroopers on the outskirts of Kyiv. The plane came down near Vasylkiv, 20 miles south of Kyiv, the Ukrainian military said. The fate of those onboard was unclear. The aircrafts - medium-range military transport aircraft, which first went into service in 1974 - can hold 150-225 fully-equipped soldiers, and is used to drop paratroopers into combat and resupply arms. The news came shortly after Ukraine's president warned that the Russians intend to take Kyiv overnight, urging his countrymen to resist the expected onslaught as Western officials say the city appears surrounded. Volodymyr Zelensky, addressing the nation from a secret location in the capital, had a dire warning for his embattled and defiant people on Friday night.
