They have no purpose. They are just going to their deaths for a senseless cause. I wonder what was said to brain wash them.

Of course I am 100% Ukraine. So it it easy to say that I support Ukraine protecting themselves.

It's likely most of them don't even want to be there but have no choice.

That convoy looks gnarly, but if we know of it, so does Ukraine.
We can armchair general as much as we like, but it's Ukraine who (I hope) has deviced the strategy to neutralize the threats to their existence.

Unless he starts rolling out tech made after 1995, the modern arms the west are supplying Ukraine with will continue to hold him back.

Looking at the latest confirmed losses for Russia, they apparently lost two supply trains.
That's potentially tens of tons of food, ammo, and fuel wiped out, a loss the Russians may not be able to replace in a quick order.

Maybe the US should step in.

What better way to make up for our loss in Afghanistan than with a victory over Russia? Victory would be guaranteed since it would be two nations against one -- and Russia is already struggling -- and America would be world heroes.
Of all the reasons for US to intervene, that is by far the most moronic.

Given what we've been hearing from other towns in the country and the fact that the majority of this convoy seems to be logistics, it may signal that Russia is switching from a direct attack on the city to a war of attrition.

If they successfully surround Kyiv and cut off power and water, then they don't actually need to enter the city and fight resistance. They just have to starve them out. Then they can drag their feet as much as possible over diplomacy until hunger and thirst become a bigger threat than tanks.

So did the Soviets build up an unstoppable military until like 1980 and then just stop trying? Seems their tech is pretty shoddy and poorly maintained.

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. Russia isnt using new shit so Ukraine likely has all the stuff they used along with some more advanced stuff being sent to them.

Sieges can last weeks, even months. But it's not really a question of how long the Ukrainians can hold out.
Its a question how long Russia can maintain that siege while their economy is going into the shitter.

Those kind of Siege tactics don't really work when you're allied with the EU and the United States who will make it rain food on you

Which of those countries will be the first to actually fly into Ukrainian airspace over the Russian military and airdrop food into the surrounded city?

I'm not saying the tactic can't be broken, but up until now the threat from Russia to directly attack any country that gets involved seems to have been enough to keep everyone else out. They seem more than willing to truck in supplies but as far as I'm aware all of that is done in a way that doesn't involve the possibility of direct conflict.

The problem with fighting a war of attrition for Russia is they are already experiencing major logistic breakdowns, their troops are surrendering, oftentimes without even firing a shot, advances are being stalled out due to Ukrainian resistance, and all while their economy is in a complete free fall.

Playing the long game could very easily back fire if things continue on this trajectory.

well it's a thermobaric rocket, which as far as i understand it it detonates and then causes all the air in the vicinity to be sucked in a vacuum, and then that somehow causes pretty much everything to be vaporised

so that's surface to surface

Surface to surface rockets with an effective range of 3500 meters. You don't want to be anywhere near where any one of those rockets lands, it will trash anything short of a tank within a large fucking radius.

Yeah. Drones, Air strikes, and local forces. Which is why, as I pointed out earlier, that you don't fucking cluster your goddamn vehicles like that. It's why you have things like layered air defense and reconnaissance. All of which are things that Russia seems to just be like "nah bro, we got this".
