As long as the Ukrainians keep getting supplied with sufficient missiles, counter-battery and drones, Vlad will be digging himself into an ever deeper hole. At what point, if ever, will the missiles run Vlad out of armor and artillery?
Interesting - there are pictures online of a four pack of AIM-120s on the back of a Humvee.
My thoughts exactly.
If things continue this way - by proxy - NATO ends up taking a big chunk out of the arse of the Russian army and AirForce - without having fired a shot.
Keep the missiles of all kinds coming - and help the Turks deliver more drones...
