The first president of Armenia, Ter-Petrosyan understood, that in long term Armenia has no chance and there is need to make peace. But he was displaced in 1998 by Karabakh clan which ruled Armenia for 20 years and led to this disaster.
Check the context. It said that Ukraine will attack Russia to liberate its territories. I said its impossible. Even now with all Western supplies (about 50 bln military aid) Ukraine army still is unable to attack fortified Russian positions.
Had Ukraine attacked Russian army in 2020 it would...
Percent of territories captured by Russia since February 2022. Currently they control 10.9% newly captured territories. In addition 7.2% of Ukraine they captured in 2014-2015 (thus 18.1% total).
As expected, the front virtually not moving since November 2022 Russian withdrawal from Kherson.
Currently both sides have nearly equal number of manpower.
Russians still have more armor and artillery.
Russians have dozens times more aviation.
So why its surprising that Ukrainians cant do much? Half year ago after Kherson withdrawal I predicted that there will be no more serious changes in...
Dont see much difference here.
APFSDS round cant hit the radar and sights in same time.
HE-Frag round will likely damage both sights and radar in both cases.
Also hits rarely come exactly from front, usually they come a bit from side.
Not just Crimea, I dont expect any major changes at all. OK, Russians captured 70 K city, completely leveling it and sacrificing tens of thousands people.
I posted in on 14 Nov 2022. Ineed not much change since then.
This chart shows percent of occupied Ukrainian territories (not including territories occupied in 2014).

Here is LAR-160 together with Delilah-GL (ground launched).
I don't think IDF uses ground launched Delilah (only air).
Cool, thanks for pics. The right one is EXTRA with 150 km range for sure. And left one is Predator Hawk i think, with 300 km range. Here it on exhibition:
US officials say damage to Patriot missile defense system was minimal following Russian attack near Kyiv

* Russia became a Chinese colony. As result of war it is now fully dependent on China. China gets cheap oil, gas and other resources.
* Russian army became a joke. NATO on the rise. Ukraine became a NATO frontier.
Its easier to predict HOW it will end. There will be a cease fire (not peace agreement) on more or less current borders.
Now when it ends. I think at least end of this year. Max is 2 years more I guess.
