They let a 14 year old stupid girl walk all over them and dictate their energy policy.

what exactly is their qualitative edge that proved to be decisive so far other than throwing people at it like Stalin and hoping for some success?any qualitative edge that Ukraine has with its more limited number of shells / rockets will be neutralized..
Yay! Privet Andrei is backHe says they shouldn't go away. They asked for artillery for 3 hours. But, apparently, neither artillery nor aviation helped.
For example, Ukraine posesses, although in small quantitieswhat exactly is their qualitative edge that proved to be decisive so far other than throwing people at it like Stalin and hoping for some success?
The thing is ukraine might recieve the weaponry from outside but not electricity.For example, Ukraine posesses, although in small quantities
- artillery systems which are by at least one generation newer compared to Soviet stuff used by Russia. Russian Koaliytsia-SV, which was supposed to be an answer to these systems, in still in testing after 15 years of development.
- precision ammunition (Excalibur) and smart ammunition (Smart 155, Bofors Bonus). On the contrary, all Russians have is Krasnopol rounds which need extremely rare Orlan-30 drone for targeting, so they have to rely on pure quantity during their artillery barrages.
- guided rocket artillery (HIMARS). Again, Russians have no alternative to these, their Smerch or Uragan systems are highly inaccurate so they have to load them with cluster ammo to achieve any effect
- satellite reconaissance provided by NATO. Again, in this field, Russians are far behind because they were never particularly good when it comes to optics.
I don't think there is any evidence at all that western artillary supplied is any more effective than soviet derived ones in Ukraine armed forces or Russian ones deployed (they did not deploy their modern gear in numbers yet)....pretty piss poor considering the barrel breakdowns and maintenance reports by AFU itself..For example, Ukraine posesses, although in small quantities

Well, they destroyed hundreds of Russian tanks and armored vehicles, so there is some impact after all - if not for them, Russians probably wouldn´t be forced to grab rusty T-62Ms and BMP-1s from their storagesAll those thousands of atgms made zero impact in terms of offense as they lost 15 to 20% more land....
At this rate, they just need to supply 1000 arty units and Ukraine can empty out Russian tank units and reach Moscow or lose another 20% land of their own and claim victory in woke world....wonder where all that 80 billion went....Well, they destroyed hundreds of Russian tanks and armored vehicles, so there is some impact after all - if not for them, Russians probably wouldn´t be forced to grab rusty T-62Ms and BMP-1s from their storages
And do we really need to argue that single unit of modern western artillery with precision ammunition is better than a single unit of Soviet arty with unguided shells? Hell, even Russian commanders complain that they have hard time hitting anything
After bombing this guys family, relatives, community for 8 years, you are asking why this guy is saying this?
Such nice people...I wonder why Ukraine is fighting them.
