Hit one in the early hours of the morning.Well thats the MRLS/HIMARS hitting the ammo dumps kicking in then!.
Amazing what only 10 of these things have done.
It's incredible how inept the Russians have been.There's a vid of russian planes trying to bomb the left behind gear. 4 bombs dropped, 3 missed the island totally.
Agree.It's incredible how inept the Russians have been.
Modern fighter aircraft carry a laser pod to point a laser that guides bombs to the target. Without that pod you need special forces on the ground to fire a laser so the bombs hit targets. Without laser targeting and without GPS type bombs it's all a bit pointless even bothering as to be accurate you need to get down low and risk losing the aircraft.
Clearly the Russians don't have the technology nor do they have the people to support the air force in targeting. This is perhaps why everyone thought they'd level Ukraine from the air but they haven't been able to.
At this stage I really wouldn't want to fight Ukraine if this is the best they can give. Ukraine has a smaller force but they're trained, well supported elsewhere and they have the equipment too.
It's almost like a parody. I've just watched Putin's latest press conference where he said Russia is just getting started but I have no idea what that means because they've ramped up huge losses and achieved nothing, he's a complete maniac.Agree.
But Putin still seems to be well-in-charge of Russia. And Russia has far more resources than Ukraine.
I think that this war is going to drag on, but inevitably the tide will be with Russia. Absent Putin's death - or an internal Russian coup - or much tougher sanctions - Russia is simply the bigger nation - and at this point - is going to invest whatever it takes to win.
