I'm amazed that that long convoy has not been hit.
I'd have had Troops all along that line by now doing hit and run attacks!

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Perhaps they don't have the weaponry or capability to do so, just sufficient for self defence.

Technically, we already participate in this war, are war party. We take over parts of the logistics of the ukrainian forces, deliver fuel, weapons, ammo.

Technically, Russia already wages war against the wEst since many years, via cyberattacks. It tries to destabilise our societies by hacks and damages to our infrastructure, and by infiltrating our political processes when iterfering with our elections. In my book - and that I say since years - these are attacks, are hostile acts, are war. We are under attack by Russia since long time. It was just more comfortable so far to make ourselves really believe that it is not so.

Only one airfield was said in TV news of this evening to still be operational, and the remains of their air defences also is focussed on defending it, its somewhere in the West, I think. The Russians have corrected their mistakes, it seems, and have established air superiority now, the news said. The convoy additionally is protected by strong mobile air defences travelling in it.

They also start to run low on SAMS and ATGMs, it seems.

Its a good time to send them more Javelins. Way more.

You'd think maybe. I've seen the approaches in Satellite images.
Would be very easy to use those approaches and toss some Molotov's and run.
Hit them in multiple areas between the long line? Major problems.

Can't go on for more than a week or so then

Interesting is that the breakdown rate of Russian ground vehicles seem to be surprisingly high. Since two days correspondents say they notice quite many broken down vehicles along the main axis of advance, affected not by combat effects, but technical failures.

I find this surprising, because they spent years on modernizing their forces and vehicles and I would have expected that to translate also into higher tehcncial reliability. The Russians I mean, not the correspondents.

Anyway, the first attack echelon seems to have been eaten up now, and that huge convoy probably represents the second attack echelon, with rested troops.

Jeff-Groves · 03-01-22, 02:59 PM

And those rested Troops hear they are next in line! So not so rested as one may think.

I hope this is some active jamming action, and not only bragging.

Not enough manpower, not enough hardware, and Ukraine has no longer air supremacy it seems.

re Skybird these mile-long columns are the same as when Hitler attacked France, vehicles breaking down, jams, hindering the deployment for days. If only one french or british aircraft had spotted them at the time they would have been obliterated, and taking France would probably have never happened.

I also think they have not enough drones against those sheer numbers, and drones can be shot down, too.

Russia attacks from Belarus, why not use western nations all around for deployment and arming. The days of diplomacy and holding back should be over, Putin declares he will go on whatever the cost, make him pay.

This is a war of aggression most probably followed by the baltic states and Finnland, what the hell is anyone waiting for? For Ukraine's downfall?

"Let's wait and see if Putin means it"?

Andreas86 · 03-01-22, 03:22 PM

Word is Ukrainian pilots are going to Poland to fly their donated fighter jets in. Will this be seen as a NATO attack?

Also, there are reports that russian soldiers are punching holes in their own tanks to "run out if gas" before they reach the front.

Red Devil · 03-01-22, 03:22 PM

Ref Dardanelles, reports this morning state that Turkey has closed off the Dardanelles and Bosforus

Catfish · 03-01-22, 03:25 PM

Does anyone give a Sh!t anymore if Putin sees it as a NATO "attack"?
It was him who attacked because he thought the Ukraine and we were weak. Make him stop whatever the cost.
