They are effective when you give them 360 air cover and continuous supply of intel in real time.

The problem here is the Ukrainian military is getting Intel from folks who are one step ahead of the Russians.

Without Air superiority these Russians will fight for 25 years in Ukraine without a headway.

This is just what America and NATO wants grin ... Waste your resources fighting your brother at your own backyard for many years and st the end of the war yiur country will be like another Japan dethroned as king of Asia. Russia and theur supporters are stupid if they think NATO is on the loosing side. kiss .

Russia is a stronger country in terms of man power and military hardwares.. But the problem is this when it comes to urbanized warfare numbers or superior powers count for almost nothing.. ..

Just imagine almost 20 slow and heavy tanks manovering a dense populated city like Lagos.
With buildings in close proximity to each other..
Missiles can hit you from anywhere..
And the Ukrainians have been provided with state of the act shoulder enable missiles like the the forget and fire stinger's and anti tank javelin missile..
I see a long protactacted war,
It will be a bloody war, especially for the Russia combatants...

The media reports only one side to make us feel Ukraine is winning the war, yet the president Zelensky is begging for NATO and UN to close airspace and make it a no flight zone. If not that he is foreseeing a doom day
So he was supposed to stop begging knowing he's outgunned by Russia?

If the Ukrainian army is wining the war, why the continued outrage by the west, the continued donations of weapons, the continued sanctions.

Something is not adding up


You expect Ukraine to give up when they’re not the attacker? Do you stop fighting because you’re winning when your opponent is still ready

As a coward that you are, you will run away from your fathers house out of fear of what you do not know. Your home should be your last standing ground.

Where do you run to if you cannot hold your ground in your home

I agree that intel provided to Ukraine by the west has been a major factor.

However I'm not so sure about the Russians lacking air superiority, afterall Ukraine has been crying to the west for warplanes to combat Russian jets since the start of the war, it was only this week that UK announced that they are sending them super sonic surface to air missiles, and Poland talked about sending them fighter jets. But I doubt they have taken stock of any of these weapons.

According to kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko

“EVERY STREETS, EVERY HOUSE IS BEING FORTIFIED,”

He also said in televised remarks and reported by The Associated Press .
“Even people who in their lives never intended to change their clothes, now they are in uniform with machine guns in their hands.”



Please the above statement is what the mayor of kyiv said............... Now pls tell me IF Russian army decided to bombard civilian homes, hospitals, restaurants, offices, I hope the whole world will not cry foul ooooooo, because the whole world should have warned Ukrainian government not to used their civilian as human shield to Russia army...... I don't want to hear war crime statements again, the evidence all there before us what is going on....... And how am I sure this criminal government of Ukraine will not explode nuclear plants on their soil, to caused radiation all over Europe and then drag the world into third world war?

Calm down, do you think everyone don't know that Ukraine ain't no Match for Russia...
If you follow the war closely you will know that the only advanced the Russian has as been air power..
What zelensky is saying is that if NATO enforce a no flight zone.. The Russian won't carryout airstrikes..
And the battle will be fought on the ground..
Which the Russian surprisingly are not capable of.
That is why he was saying if they don't enforce a no flight zone they should give him jets..

I posted this to someone who was arguing that Ukraine should NOT have started fighting because they never had any chance of winning:

So in your opinion it’d have been better for them to let Putin walk in and take over their country. U sound like a coward in life. You probably never heard the saying: “Better to die on your feet than live on your knees”.
Don’t you realize that whatever happens Ukraine has already won? What they did is the equivalent of punching a bully in the nose. They have united the world against Russia, a country now basically seen as a pariah state. Putin may actually end up going to jail. How many Russian soldiers and top officers have been killed?
And how long do you think it would take Russia to dig out of all these sanctions, closings, and bans??

Meanwhile the owners of oil corporations are reading these type of posts and smiling to the bank.

People can't realise when they are being manipulated and it is great for oligarchs all over the world.

American Intel is making that very difficult.
Even CNN and the rest have footage of their movements...the days of the tanks are really over. Missiles, drones and air power are the modern day warfare tools to deploy. Russians tanks look outdated and poorly refurbished...threat of running the whole of Europe with thanks are over. Russian army are weakened and demoralised because this is not a war that can spark patriotism but of guilt...they are the same people.

I saw the ambush coming. The western forces are jamming Russia's communications and satellite systems, making it impossible for them to detect the ambush. The Russian convoys have been holed up for days along the inward Kiev express road because of logistics and communication issues. With satellite and efficient radar system, you could be able to detect an enemy ambush party ahead and send reconnaissance aircraft to gather information and clear the paths. Russia did all that but the NATO communication systems, backed by the Japanese is helping to relay wrong signals to the Russian signal command, thus making them to take wrong decisions.

You can not help but acknowledge the importance of communication and satellite systems in modern warfare. This is why we are still far behind and backwards in Nigeria, unable to detect Boko Haram movements throw swaths of plain and low grass lands in the Northern paths of Nigeria, which should be easier for a radar and satellite system to pick.

Turkey used an efficient communication, satellite and radar systems to support Azerbaijan in their recent war against Armenia, where they recorded decisive victory, bringing down their fighter jets and jamming the missile systems to the extent that one Armenia fighter jets released barrage of bombs on its own infantry ground troops , thinking that they were Azerbaijan forces.

Of course they have always been on the defensive..
The goal is to make the war longer and bloody and expensive for Russia..
Just like when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.
Also during the Vietnam war.. The less equip enemy keeps on carry sneaks attacks causing moral loss and inflicting lots of casualties..
Re: Russian Convoy To Kyiv Ambushed By Ukrainian Forces by Originalsly: 10:42am On Mar 11, 2022
Hmmm..... civilians have put on military uniforms.... are heavily armed ... in bunkers in the city .... but when the Russians counter with heavy artillery we hear how many civilians are killed. The Russians have failed... afraid to meet their end should they enter the city... now they have reduced to surrounding it. Next week we'll hear the Russians are starving women and children.

Is it that Putin has too many soldiers to sacrifice like goats or Russia is quite clueless about modern act of warfare.

I can't honestly imagine Israel playing this sorta dumb war game with their enemies like Palestine.

If it were Israel, there would be no war... The conquest would be swift, brutal, decisive, and total! Ukraine would be taken even before Zelensky hit the Bunker.

You think Russia is going all out the way Israel would go against the Hamas? I love Israel but trust me Russia does not want Ukraine destroyed, Russia just want them to surrender at the expense of her soldiers. Trust me if Ukraine was a Muslim country Russia would have burn it down with air offensive only.

Military convoys should move in secrecy but in this satellite age that is nearly impossible.

True during world 2 battles were won with massive tanks rolling over position...
The age of warfare has gone pass that..
With the Russian tanks clustered together and the invention of thermal / heat seeking midskesi and GPS tracking.. Tanks and heavy military vehicles becomes easy prey...

I think they are lacking, the number of fighter jets deployed across Ukraine is not able to do the job intended by the Russians. Russian jets should give their fighters air cover 247, if they do we will not be hearing General and Colonel been killed. Don't get me wrong bombardments of Ukrainian infrastructure isn't what I'm talking about.

Starstreak from the UK as well as the stinger and javelins will do more havoc in the coming days if Intel keeps coming in real time.

The Russians needs a total rethink of their strategies if they want to reduce casualties from their end.

Those regions including crimea belong to Ukraine. That most of residents of those regions speak Russian do not mean those regions belong to Russia. Russian speakers are occupiers during Russia empire and later during USSR.

Ukrainian soldiers made up of 30 to 35% of Red Army that fought in ww2 including battle of Stalingrad. Fathers and grandparents of present Ukrainians fought to defend moscow during ww2.
