Friendly reminder that Russia has approximately the same number of troops in two days as the US lost in Afghanistan did in 20 years. Wonderful little war they've hitt going on.
This is complete nonsense. US has never, ever faced a remotely "modern" adversary on the battlefield, so you cannot judge any potential air superiority potential. Even tiny Serbia with heavily outdated and vastly underpowered army was able to shoot down a state of the art, cutting edge F-117A Nighthawk during the Bill Clinton bombings.
However, you may personally feel on the matter, in case of Russia, any judgements should be reserved, as Russia is not fighting Ukraine in Ukraine. They are fighting the whole world. I doubt ANY country, including US could achieve any air superiority if it was fighting the whole world. All factors considered; Russia is making titanic strides. Only someone completely uneducated, would deny that if not for the immense, incalculable amounts of outside aid, Ukranian regime would fall a long time ago.
The Black Sea Fleet is so mighty they are just showcasing their ability to act as submarines.When you say titanic strides. Do you mean the loss of their flagship in the Black Sea?

Or the fact Russia lost 1/3 of their Black Sea fleet?

Yes but Russian lives are so miserable they don't care if they die.Friendly reminder that Russia has approximately the same number of troops in two days as the US lost in Afghanistan did in 20 years. Wonderful little war they've hitt going on.

Been hoping for this at past 18 mos. Completely reasonable. Putin and Putin's dog would cry that the west was attacking Russia, supporting nazis and threaten nukes. Bluster, bluster, bluster. Time to call his bluff.A coalition force could probably CAP everything west of the Dnipro without much risk. A ground deployment of support personnel in the far west would be a realistic option. Get Poland and Romania to scoot AD to their borders and then deploy additional systems to create a fairly large bubble in Ukraine's border oblasts.
And yet, the US sits on the sidelines for two years while their ‘ally’ gets crushed. Interesting how they can dismantle the Russian army ‘in a week’, yet refuse to do so. I wonder why?

In other news, how about these dragon teeth?
Just dumped them along the side of the road LOL.
Update, Estonia publicly denies this.With Russia expanding the frontline and threatening Ukraine's second largest city,
NATO member Estonia believes it may be time to send in military forces to secure western Ukraine, so that the Ukrainians are more free to fight in the east.

I noticed that when I posted a meme of Zhukov under the pic of the new Russian MoD. I was wondering if it was a shop or just the outfit they all wear.Not that I care either way, but apparently that's a photoshop.
