Ah, it feels like beating the child. If everything goes "po planu", why on earthRussia has mobilised 300 000 reservist and is going to make another partial mobilisation soon? Why we see today 50 + year old tanks on the battlefield and gradually becoming older? Why Kiev is stiil not taken, Zelensky has not left the
Well there is no other mobilization mentioned by Russians themselves unless you have some head issues to think the Russian military gives their plans to Ukrainians making these claims? 300k are mobilized but in use yet for any offensive other than the units i currently see in the operation zone.
nothing wrong with 50 year old tanks, the Ukrainians are using it and the F-16s they were begging for are also of around the same age
Let me correct that for you. The F-16 design is 50 years old, the one's that's going to be transferred is less than that and there's like a huge difference between blocks.
dang that T-80 is still moving.

While not sexy, packages like these are very important, because they're what supply the day-to-day war effort and keep it difficult for the Russians to advance, while Ukraine trains in the use of Western armor, in Europe. Expect the next package a couple weeks from now, around the 1 year mark of the invasion. I expect it to be a rather large package to celebrate
Again poor little Russia with 2 million armed forces is attacking huge Ukraine.
The Russians are not like the Israelis fighting some rock throwers in Palestine next to their border. I will repeat it 100 times more until it gets through a thick skull, 80k are in the operation, Wagner is pushing back the AFU that has more troops, why is that happening?
Unlike Russia which was always fighting using huge numerical advantage, Israel fought against much larger enemies. For example in 1973 war Israel with 1700 tanks, 470 jets and 375 K troops was attacked by combined force of over 4000 tanks, 600 jets and 800 K troops.
Douglas Macgregor is Russian propagandist and clown.

Point being, Russia demodernizing its army, Ukrainians modernising.Two different vectors of movement, hereby Ukraine still gets one generation older weaponry in relatively small amoiunts and still doing pretty well. So this vector has great room for advancing- if Western countries get scared enough. So the technological superiority of Western military equipment is significant and in hands of motivated Ukrainian soldiers it is twice as effective.
