I'd be super interested in seeing what the A10 could do right now. This the era of equipment it was designed to destroy. The issue is AA has come a long, long way.

Meant to post this here instead of the other thread. Don't know why I was there.

They act like the US is going to stage a first strike, which they know we won't do.
Cool story in the mid 80's Reagan had the navy use its 688's, LA class, attack subs ping Soviet boomers at one time all over the world. If freaked the Soviets out big time.

They shouldn't be so cocky.

Drones, MLRS, HIMARS is all that's needed to ravage that army. Ukraine already doing work with their very limited drone inventory

google The Road to Basra. That will give you a good idea what A-10's and modern ground attack aircraft can do to road traffic.

Haven't seen any other reports of this yet.


The video from yesterday with the two dudes just waltzing into a firefight showed a pretty good view of a uke ambush. They had two tanks set up at a t intersection. They had their infantry dug into the edge of a tree line along the highway.

Russian column approaches t intersection in a line and encounter a tank. Column stops. Infantry opens up. Column destroyed

Seems like the Russians have little tactical awareness or ability to deal with anything.

Mig-29's and SU-27's were not bad aircraft in the hands of a good pilot.

What are the odds that former military from other countries serve as mercenaries to pilot those aircraft being provided to Ukraine?

How would Russians know who was flying them? Might as well provide pilots along with the aircraft while you're at it.

Does this mean troops, or supply?

Both likely.

This may be the biggest development yet if this is true… if the Ukraine has western jets along with our guided precision bombs the Ruskies are down right F Ed… I'm talking about a deal killer for the Ruskies, they might as well wave the white flag and save any face they have left.

In the videos posted of Russian troops does anyone notice they are not pulling security? Do they have any real discipline or training? Or am I missing something?

I bet Poland is about to be reimbursed hugely if they hand over their SUs and MIGs.

The daily Aeroflot flight from Moscow to New York turned around halfway and headed back to Moscow.

That was 30 years ago. No air defense and a completely permissive air enviroment.

I believe a lot of them are conscripts. So, probably not.

Given how the Russians have screwed up every aspect of this operation it probably is a 'completely permissive environment.'

Speaks more to their lack of ability to establish air supremacy. Wide area GPS jamming isn't realistic based on the energy needed.

UNSC - Ukraine speaking now. Russia basically said they aren't doing anything wrong and any impacts to civilians are 'fakes' or false flags

Russian anti aircraft missiles are no joke. I know we are bagging on them but we would go after that with drones first amd work on counter air and anti air missions first.
