It’s particularly bleak because China has come down firmly on Russia’s side which gives NK a free hand to provide as much weaponry as they can build to Russia. Similarly Iran has no incentive to stop supporting Russia due to the attitude of the US, and the US itself is scaling back support to Ukraine.

It all boils down to a combination of Trump’s incompetence and overt admiration of autocrats. They’ve also managed to push India into that alliance.

They're just too big to fly without being taken out by air defence. Without air defence they can return to the sky' with their onboard ground attack missiles.
 
According to the US the assault into the Kursk Region was a waste of time. I've called that out as bollocks on a number of occasions and here is the proof of it's success all in one place:
