[BeerIsTheBest]

The article below shows just how difficult the offensive will be for Ukraine. Particularly without air superiority.

i visited the Somme earlier this year and the similarities are both frightening and depressing.

Given ground control aren’t exactly combatants couldnt some from another country, possibly to the west, just help out. Unofficially of course.

They also need longer runways mate, which I presume they are currently building. The MiG was designed for short runway takeoffs for use near the front line.

Collected stories from the war - not just Russian stuff blowing up:

More Russian stuff blowing up, plus weeds are the new enemy of Ukraine

Another careless Russian smoker. Big bavovna Russia has declared war on cathedrals. A military that bombs churches, kindergartens and hospitals would think nothing of taking out a few nuclear inspectors. The beatings will continue until morale...
