View Quote It's like after 2+ years they just started to do ISR combined with targeting for the first time. For two years, Ukraine had a huge ISR advantage, but lacked the firepower to take advantage of it. Now if Russia starts having an ISR advantage, things could get real ugly real quick. Good ISR plus effective use of top-shelf missiles will put Russia on a very positive trend and accelerate Ukrainian losses. Fucking diplomats and Foggy Bottom shallow thinkers didn't want Ukraine to win, so that means Russia has to win. There is no middle ground, and never was. |

View Quote it could be a simple as the russians advanced enough to compress the Ukrainian lines. that along with Ukraine being forced to move up more air defense equipment. or maybe. one other thing did happen shortly before the targeting got so good. Ukraine had a change over of military leadership. now i doubt that is it. just saying i hope that Budinuf guy is paying attention. i imagine a larger turn over of people than just the one guy leaving. |

I suppose they could keep them in the rear areas where they are safe so they don't get damaged. Allow me to clarify. If Ukrainian forces had the artillery they needed, they wouldn't have to plug the gaps in their defense by having to run these vehicles into risky situations that could get them destroyed. They should be working in multiple units together, preferably at night with thermal drones helping with spotting things like atgm sites and such. Then use artillery to smash those dangers. |

View Quote I agree with you fully. They are using what they have improperly because they don't have the resources they need to use them as designed.

Just trying to point out there might be a more effective way to use the Western equipment if you have to risk it to defend parts of the frontline. I am frustrated as well they aren't given what they need or trained in ways that accurately reflect what they are having to deal with. I miss DasJuden and his input as well. |
