Hvis de hadde klart å komme inn på flankene på andre siden av elva, hadde de fint klart å sperre mange inne i bylomma. Men tar vel for lang tid. Bedre at de går sikkert frem og rensker godt.
Jeg tenker jo at Ukraina nok ikke vil kaste bort liv. Grunnen til at de angrep flankene var nok ikke noe stort behov, men pga muligheter som oppstod pga dårlig organisering på russisk side. Formålet tenker jeg er å binde tropper. Jeg tror ikke den ukrainske offensiven kommer her.

Russian news reports:
“Russian banks are tightening the conditions for withdrawing cash from ATMs.
Gazprombank charges a commission of up to 10% of the excess amount for withdrawing more than the limit.”
Sterkere kapitalkontroll kommer gjerne når valutaen er truet og det er krise.

Today russia lost in russia:
• 1x of its most modern fighter-bombers
• 1x of its most modern fighters
• 2x of its most modern electronic warfare helicoptersFirst: that is funny as hell :-))
The Su-35 fighter was supposed to protect the Su-34 fighter-bomber from Ukrainian fighters, and the two Mi-8MTPR-1 helicopters were supposed to protect the Su-34 and Su-35 from Ukrainian surface-to-air missile systems.I know I repeat myself, but once more for the vatniks: all russian weapon systems are garbage.
How did Ukraine shoot down the russian aircraft? I don’t know, but I doubt russia’s air defense made four errors in day.
So either Ukraine moved a air defense system to the border with russia and has been having fun with shooting at super easy targets in russia, or Ukraine has now the ability to use AIM-120 AMRAAM - either firing them from Mig-29 or Su-27 or F-16… but for the latter Israel would have had to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s, which Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, and Belgium would have had to donate with US approval… sounds improbable.
Whatever happened: russia will now be unable to fly within 100km of Ukraine, which will help protect Ukrainian cities AND help very much when Ukraine begins the counteroffensive.All in all: a great day for the world
Man kan jo tenke seg at Ukraina satte ut en PAC-2 Patriot launcher med 160 km rekkevidde et godt stykke fra fronten.

For å si det sånn, hvis Ukraina kan skyte ned russiske fly 80 km fra fronten, så gir det vesentlig større åpninger for Ukraina å bruke sine fly ved fronten.
Vurderingen er fra slutten av februar, tidlig mars.
" Two Ukrainian airmen, one qualified on the MiG-29, the other on the Su-27, were given “no formal training” on the F-16, according to the assessment, other than a brief familiarization. They were then tested on a flight simulator, conducting “9 simulator events covering 11.5 total hours.
The Su-27 and the MiG-29 are both Soviet-era fighter jets, which constitute the bulk of what remains of Ukraine’s air force. Both Ukrainian pilots were assessed by four experienced U.S. Air Force instructors, each of whom had clocked thousands of hours flying F-16s.
The assessment, written by Lt. Col. Jared P. White of the 162nd, concludes that the Ukrainian pilots were able to carry out a number of “relatively technical” maneuvers in their simulated environments such as landing the aircraft after losing an engine in a scenario called a “flameout.” “After a single demonstration … both pilots were able to successfully land the aircraft from an overhead simulated flameout (SFO) pattern. This is a relatively technical skill that must be continually practiced throughout an F-16 pilot’s career,” the document states. Both pilots were also able to “execute mock attacks based on parameters communicated while they were flying the sim.”
Exclusive: U.S. could train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16s in 4 months (yahoo.com)
Usikker på om jeg synes dette er bra eller dårlig, men de skal ha for innsatsen.
Hvorfor usikker?
Bare kom til å tenke på noe Churchill sies å ha sagt.
At a dinner with Churchill, Ribbentrop had said that, in a future war with Britain, Germany would have the Italians on its side. Churchill, referring to Italy’s poor record in the First World War, responded with one of his devastating verbal flashes: “That’s only fair – we had them last time.”
Og Bismarck: ‘ “Italy has a large appetite and rotten teeth.”
Har hørt rykter om det.
Edit: Ca 3000 artilleri enheter igjen, noe samme standard som denne på mange av de vil jeg tippe.
Han luringen her vil hjem til Russland igjen!? Hva?? Hadde jeg ikke fått med meg…
Hva er det Putin har lokket han med mon tro?
Han fikk nok sjokk når han var på svenskehandel og så hvor svak krona var.
Ja, han har satt i stand mye liv og røre på veldig kort tid.
Ja, fyren virker ikke helt stabil for å si det sånn…
Han har muligens varit i bakre regionene av Wagner-gruppen i syfte att bygga upp en Legend.
Han har aldrig varit befæl i Wagner, utan han ær kort og godt en spion.
Send honom åt noe helt annet håll enn ryzzland. Falklandsøyene eller noe.
Ukraina?
Har ikke de nok av problemer?
En interessant artikkel som tar for seg forbedringer Russland har gjort det siste året. Det forklarer endel av problemene Ukraina vil støte på.
The conclusion therefore is that the Russian Armed Forces pose a significant challenge for the Ukrainian military on the defence. Nevertheless, if Ukraine can disrupt Russian defences and impose a dynamic situation on them, Russian units are likely to rapidly lose their coordination. Changes in the air combat environment, for example, have led rapidly to incidents of Russian fratricide.
Men også løsningen. Gir Ukraina Russland nye trusler eller situasjoner å håndtere, så kan det godt hende håndteringen blir ræva.
Storm Shadow med decoys i stedet for ATACMS tror jeg kom av en grunn.
Jeg tror også at Russland vil slite hardt med å håndtere en ukrainsk framrykning under patriot pac 2 & 3 beskyttelse.
