Actually this is the eighth year of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Putin escalated last February.
It’s clear they still have precision missiles.
But they are wasting them in blowing up residential blocks.
Surely they must know when the trains from Poland laden with tanks and munitions cross into Ukraine? They should be hitting these trains with their precision ordnance. That’s what NATO would do. Strangle the Ukrainian ability to resist, then roll over them and force their capitulation.
Things will only get worse for the Russians when the Western MBTs start to arrive.
What’s the end-game for Putin? Subdue the Donbas? Create a buffer zone? The rest of Ukraine will still join NATO, and Finland too so the Russia-NATO border will be 2000 km longer anyway.
If you don't know about something, there's no shame in not typing about that topic.
The Russians have been hitting the energy grid and military support facilities with their missiles. If you think they're sending missiles worth millions to hit civilian buildings you're are utterly clueless. Mind you, you follow MSM, so no surprise you believe what you do.
By hitting the energy grid and the military facilities they hurt the supply and logistics lines a lot more than hitting a couple of train carriages. Hitting train lines is futile anyway, every single country on earth has teams of engineers who can repair damaged train lines or remove damaged carriages within 24 hours.
You say things will get worse when western weapons arrive - tell me practically how the Ukranians would be better off with them than Soviet/Russian equipment, something they've trained their whole lives with. You do realise almost all military equipment requires re-supply, regular maintenance and repairs. How are Ukranians going to 1. do that on the frontline or near to it, 2. building facilities which can do that in the country? The answer is they can't to both. In order to effectively use this equipment they need NATO officers and they'll have to send this equipment back to Poland or Germany for repairs. These NATO officers will be out of uniform of course because in uniform it would be an act of direct war which would be an escalation that neither side really wants.
I suggest to all the amateurs here, especially cpeigh, mazkhan, salim and Robert do some proper research before typing the propaganda from MSM that they do.
1. Read up on the sizes of the forces deployed by both sides, specifically what the strengths are - hint focus on artillery.
2. Read up on WW2 and the legendary mud of eastern europe - hint it can make or break offensives more than any number of western tanks - lol at Robert for this point.
3. Read up on the mobilisation of both sides, who exactly has been mobilised and who is being sent to the front - hint if you follow MSM for this you might as well start believing the toothfairy is real.
4. Look at the Military Production right now and the capability for a surge - hint, Russia is at a near wartime footing since September 2022, NATO isn't.
5. Read up on and investigate maps, specifically the ones which show some of the fortifications in the Donbas - hint, there are miles and miles of trenches and huge fields loaded with anti vehicle mines.
All of this put together gives you an idea of what's happening out there, why things appear to be moving slowly - they aren't but regardless and most importantly they'll tell you just how wrong you are when you describe either side as being unproffessional or not up to standard.
