WWII had huge air battles not possible to conduct in the jet age. The number of available targets was higher.

@worldgoneawry8906 This is just advocacy for being a pushover. Small men taking out large men keeps the large men in check. Keeps them... amicable.

Funny thing is Bushmaster got a DoD contract to manufacture M4s for foreign aid, and a ton were sent to Ukraine post-2014. There's pictures of piles of them, captured by separatist forces.

They're purposefully avoiding broadcasting their positions because videos were being used to locate them.

Wrong. Assault weapon is the constructed term. Assault rifle is a category as valid as submachine gun, battle rifle, light machine gun, etc.

ARs were sent to Ukraine as foreign aid. But that was before they reorganized.

That smart strategy fell apart. They've cemented popular support for the current government and ensured a government friendly to Russia will not have the loyalty of the military or police. To guarantee compliance, they will have to essentially replace these people entirely (not just keep some garrisons), while also somehow paying them off for their troubles, because as we've learned from Iraq the jobless fighters from the disbanded Iraqi army became insurgents.

@ernimuja6991 Last I checked the fighting is occurring in the suburbs, the Russian troops won't advance until the big convoy arrives. So right now they're mostly tossing artillery shells at each other. There isn't much air activity because from what I understand, Russia is hesitant about friendly fire. A ton of Russian and Ukranian ground vehicles are modernized variants of Cold War Soviet equipment and comms are tricky, the Russians seem to be relying on CB radio and cellphones so it would be difficult to call in close air support without them bombing themselves by mistake. The war isn't very well hidden. We've seen footage of drones attacking convoys, Ukrainians firing Stingers, Javelins and RPG-29s at Russian vehicles (there's a MANPADS helicopter kill on video), and Russian forces rolling into towns when the Ukrainian forces retreated. I've also seen some guy who tried to molotov Russian vehicles and got shot, the body of some guy who probably took an autocannon round to the head and had no face anymore, videos of convoys with bodies burnt to a crisp. The stuff's not hidden at all.

@worldgoneawry8906 To steal a saying from the IRA, the big guy has to be lucky every single time. The little guy only needs to be lucky once. This isn't martial arts. The US had Vietnam and Afghanistan, the USSR had Finland and Afghanistan, Britain had the US and Afghanistan. It's actually pretty common for the little guy to break a bigger nation, even if it's just a matter of waiting for the internal issues to compound and eventually they have to let go. By the way, in BJJ there's a category where everyone can apply no matter the weight. The big guys have the advantage, but it's a martial art where the skill level actually makes up for it.

@worldgoneawry8906 They lost, but they have their own political party, they managed to negotiate a quota for their police force, and got a ton of prisoners released. Even though they didn't achieve total victory, they got the larger guy to suffer enough to meet at the negotiating table and give them concessions. A 700 Sterling pound van filled with fertilizer caused 1.2 billion in damage. See how you moved from martial arts to the "streets"? Your analogy had a flaw so you retreat to a better position. Well, there's footage of BJJ and Judo being used is the streets and working. Should you use it to protect your wallet? No. But if you know you're about to die? Might as well. "has benefited from the fact that they are not going for a killshot" - Because they can't. Russia's win condition is strongarming regime change. If the regime is unpopular due to the killshot, they wasted all their effort. This is just an excuse. Russia chose their win condition. They knew what shortcomings it entailed.

@worldgoneawry8906 The average untrained person cannot smash a skull. The average untrained person has no clue how to defend from BJJ. You're doing the "I'm immune to BJJ" stuff causals do. You're trying to pretend the average 18-19 year old Russian conscript (say what you want, I think it's obvious conscripts were sent ahead of the main force) is a Spetsnaz veteran, and the average mugger is an elite striker with MMA training and thus the ability to handle wrestlers and BJJ. This is so far removed from reality it means nothing. That 18 year old kid was told to invade a country at 4-5 AM and he wants to go home, the people he's fighting are fighting for the right to have a home. Don't you see where the bloodthirsty street killer stomping skulls narrative falls apart? "I bet you think movies like "Atomic Blonde" are totally realistic" - Atomic Blonde is utterly unenjoyable because every stuntman is selling the hits but Charlize Theron can't put any weight on her choreography. But enough about movies. I bet you think the US won Vietnam because of "body count".

@worldgoneawry8906 No. I'm using analogies. Professional soldiers with experience can perform better under pressure. A random mugger who never had anyone resist? He might actually enter in fight or flight. And even if he is committed to a fight, the motor skills under stress are pretty bad without training. Even if the mugger is experienced in fighting and thus doesn't stress out, just being exposed to an unknown martial art (like wrestling, Judo or BJJ) can throw people off balance. This mugger isn't going to break a skull. You'd need the equivalent of an experienced professional soldier. The soldier is using a gun, rocket/missile launcher, mortar, etc. this isn't about soldiers getting hand-to-hand training. "Like in the UFC when a guy is all tangled and the other guy lifts him up and then slams into the ground" - It takes some skill to do that, because you have to resist the submission. It might not be apparent, but the person doing the slam is actively trying to break the lock. "You seem to think BJJ is God." - It isn't, most people just don't know any counters to it. A good boxer can starch any untrained fighter, but everyone knows what fists can do. With BJJ, you can have things done to you that you never thought were possible. Such as the slam thing, if you're untrained you can easily just force the BJJ practitioner to leg go and grab the legs instead.

@worldgoneawry8906 "surrendered the fight to play by their stronger enemies rules" - Yes, but the stronger enemy was demoralized and couldn't keep the fighting going. The small guy doesn't need to win, it just needs to not lose. You talk a lot about the big guys, but the British Empire went down the drain. How many countries have a holiday celebrating independence from them? Ukraine going to the table under the same conditions as the IRA would mean they keep Ukraine and the government they want, Russia stays in Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk, people who are pro-Ukraine and imprisoned over terrorism/sedition have to be released, they have to have a pro-Ukraine political party and police forces in those areas need to have a percentage of pro-Ukraine people on staff. So essentially Russia gains absolutely nothing new. They fought a war to put more pro-Ukraine people in the separatist regions? The IRA had no hope of winning. They still earned massive concessions to promote their side on UK's turf. Like I said - all it takes is not losing.

The convoy is long enough that striking the first and last vehicle would make absolutely no sense, striking the rear vehicle is done to trap all vehicles by preventing them from backing out. If the convoy is as long as the sat pictures shown seem to indicate, they can't back out for that many miles like a huge game of snake. It's simply faster to overtake and the convoy follows the new lead. Always striking the lead would make more sense as it would create roadblocks and have the aditional effect of forcing the rest of the convoy to look at the wrecks and burned bodies.

Did you seriously gauge combat capabilities by looking at dates?
