Many are probably among those staging around cities like Kyiv. There doesn't seem to be fighting indicating that massive number, unless I'm wrong. They will probably send the bulk of them in at once.ATX_AG_08 said:

OK. Well if were going to attribute the destruction of 800 vehicles on a couple of single fire drones I am all for it. The how matters not to me and I fully respect fast movers wanting to identify as slow movers.
Right now Turkey has an agreement to make drones for Ukraine. And eventually, Ukraine will produce under license. To get US drones requires US Department of State approval for tech transfer, then training for Ukraine. It would take time.

Sending more Turkish drones is easier.

This follows decisions by UK, EU and Canada to do so. The White House said they were considering the large number of US flights that go over Russian airspace to get to Asia while making this decision.

Tonight #Putin has launched what appears to be the largest airborne assault of the invasion

It is likely a final push to take control of the SE approach to #Kharkiv, a city he expected to take quickly without resistance & be welcomed by grateful residents as a liberator

Honestly closing airspace hurts us more than them since they'll do the same thing back. Routes to India and Asia are affected for us. Canada already closed their airspace so Russia was already kinda screwed here. Still the right move

Do we have a way to measure the sentiment of Ukrainians on a macro scale? Or Russians for that matter? I guess reporters on the ground is the best way in Ukraine?This morning : I remembered that I have relatives in Russia which did not even reach out to my family in Ukraine about what’s going on. Didn’t even ask if they were alive or not.

I would worry that hitting the Russian grid at this point would do more damage than good. They need to keep the Russian populations' support for this war down as they may be one of the only assets to stop Putin.12th Man Stan Account said:A Ukrainian cyber guerrilla warfare group plans to launch digital sabotage attacks against critical Russian infrastructure such as railways and the electricity grid to strike back at Moscow over its invasion, a hacker team coordinator told @Reuters https://t.co/Ev0sn2nwBm pic.twitter.com/P9ZFShMraI

This could be interesting. Not sure why they're announcing their plans ahead of time though.
