We can’t shoot down the bombers, but we can ensure they fly less often due to a lack of fuel, refuelling aircraft and spare parts. That’s what a real long-term strategy looks like.
We punch corridors, blind the enemy’s radar “eyes,” overload their channels, and into the resulting gaps in their rear areas fly cruise missiles and long-range drones carrying 50+ kg warheads.
The Russian Federation is now actively preparing for the spring-summer campaign, and we are launching pre-emptive strikes — destroying combat command posts on the ground and burning out advanced UAV bases.
They focussed everything on the fact that our front will fall, because the infantry will run out. We are that they will fall when (not if) the economy collapses.
Right now it’s a seesaw — will we find the strength to establish a perimeter around the supply line, clear the neighbourhoods and hold the pocket, or will the enemy widen the breach, ramp up the pressure and force us to withdraw.
In general, Moscow continues to play the role of Eastern Europe's North Korea, forcing the EU to invest money in defence and the military-industrial complex, while countries neighbouring Russia avoid conflict as much as possible.
A strategic deep air offensive on Crimea continues — after strikes on the Crimean Bridge, the ferry crossing and the destruction of at least seven trains, the peninsula is suffering from serious disruptions in diesel and petrol supplies.
Heavy fighting continues in the sector, Russia has well-trained pilots, many artillery shells and a human advantage. That's why it's just the beginning.
