That reminds me, isn't it possible to theoretically knock out light vehicles with FIM-92 stingers? I recall someone stating that the Humvee Avenger can do that.Eliminatus said:
Javelins also have select top attack or direct flight modes. It's am amazing piece of tech really. I was one of the last class of 0351s to train on it and even fired one into a house in Iraq. My cool guy moment of my entire military career.
The javelin is nowhere near as powerful as the TOW is however in terms of net explosive weight. Our doctrine was for volley fire of at least two if possible into same main battle tank. BTRs and BMPs would die if hit by singles though. You can even engage slow moving helos with them. Direct attack mode for those.
It's simple to use, if clunky, and we should have seeded the Ukes with them long ago with adequate training to go along. You can never have enough of them.
It looks like regular wood to me. But don't shoot the messenger.CanyonAg77 said:Looks a lot thicker than plywood.erudite said:

It's hard to feel sorry for the Russians, other than the grunts with no political leaning, just following orders (please, no Nazi reference).
But I do kind of feel sorry for the guy dying over a load of wood.

What are you basing this on (The AF aspect?)Rossticus said:
Ukraine is certainly forcing disproportionate Russian resource expenditure proportional to realized gains. They're giving those red *******s all they want. Inflicted heavy casualties on Russian VDV during the airport op.
Ukrainian AF outperforming. Of course virtually nothing was expected of them, but every little bit helps.

I believe the Ukrainians still hold limited superiority over Kyiv. Outside of that, no idea.deddog said:What are you basing this on (The AF aspect?)Rossticus said:

I haven't seen anything about the UAF other than the Su-27 pilot who flew into Romania

The Russians don't seem to have committed all their forces. They appear to be trying to take Kiev and then let the rest fall into place (a la Kabul in 79)jabberwalkie09 said:nortex97 said:

If true, it looks like the Ukrainians -dare I say- have put up a fight and limited the spread of Russians.
I think someone was telling me earlier that there was no fight in the Ukrainians, Russians were spreading like wildfire, and the country would fall in short order.
I want to believe the Ukrainians are fighting back hard. But either account, or even your map, could just be propaganda.Quote:

I imagine both sides have access to night vision, I know Russia does, but not sure how many of the lower ranking Ukrainians do. I highly doubt many if any citizens have them and that makes a big difference

My swag is that Kiev falls on Saturday (meaning we wake up in CST and read about Zelensky flying to some safe location in Poland etc). It's the financial/political center of the country, and if it does the rest would go quickly; Belarus is a Russian satellite state so they are providing all the support they can to Putin.
The Russians are apparently being a bit smart about targeting airfields/air defense/communications facilities first, mostly, though they of course are much less precise/deliberate than the US is in such operations.
