  1. Yes, finally an update - I always look forward to these moments. I would love to hear your thoughts about if Ukraine would be more successful at the moment if they had western fighter jets? Would also love to hear your thoughts as a Naval Officer what can be done to strengthen Ukraine's capacity effectively in regards to their NAVY? Would it be small fast patrol boats subsidized by drones or? I think its extremely unfortunate that Ukraine receives cluster munition - the major problem is the amount of unexploded munition in areas the Ukrainians will have to enter and clean up 1000tak for at du endnu engang byder ind med dit perspektiv - det er, som altid, højt værdsat!!!

  2. ​ @mariaf.6601  Well, as long as "over estimating" only lead to better preparation, then it's not that big of a deal - underestimating is always a problem if it happens..

  3.  @CarbonCopy100  A "radiological" event would be something similar to a huge accident at the Zaporizhzhia plant - and while it would be a disaster, it still wouldn't be cause for anyone using Nukes! No one is interested in nukes being used - not even a small tactical one! Russia knows there's a hard limit when it comes to nukes! And it's a boundary set not only by the USA, UK, and France, but also by the Chinese.. The Western powers would not benefit from doing a False Flag, because it would force their hand to retaliate - and both Western Europe and the US want to avoid getting dragged into a serious escalation of the conflict!

  4. Not likely! Oligarchs and Kremlin elites have children too!

  5.  @Grimshak81  I know they've been using old stocks of, (even more unreliable), cluster munition! It's not just about polluting its own soil for the future, but literally about making it harder to move forwards into areas you've carpet bombed with cluster munition. Yes, there are already mines but adding to the amount that needs to be cleared for Ukrainian soldiers to advance isn't exactly the best way to approach things - it's like noticing you have a flat tire, and instead of fixing one flat tire, you make the other tires flat as well before starting fixing them. I do know that part of the reason the USA is delivering cluster munition also has to do with stockpiles of normal artillery munition running low - but it's still extremely unfortunate! Also, there's a lot of countries working in banning the use of cluster munition, and it can even be argued that using it borders the line to being war crimes, as it indiscriminately often ends up killing civilians, and very often children, in the aftermath. This also risk affecting public support for Ukraine, (using munition types most of Europe is working to make downright illegal! Using cluster munition is basically the equivalent of pissing your pants on a cold winter day - it might give some shortsighted gains in the form of warmth, but you'll end up freezing your balls off, increasing the risk of urinary infection, and stinking! Yes, I fully agree that we should have started the training of Ukrainian pilots a long time ago - and worked on not only delivery of fighter jets, but also attack helicopters, so they were all available by now! My guess is that it's both due to underestimation of Russia's ability to "play defense", the continuous flawed assumption that the regime in Russia is in far more turmoil than it actually is - and of course a hyped up overestimatiin of what drone warfare can achieve as it is right now. The fact that Ukraine isn't currently capable of fully controlling the entirety of their own and at least parts of neighboring airspace makes them far less manuvreavle and instead of dragging our heels more than we already have done, we need to get their air force up in gear. And I hope Anders would perhaps soon talk about Ukraine from a Naval perspective, (given his unique qualifications to do so), - so how could Ukraine benefit from getting more smaller fast patrol boats, or/and perhaps even specialised/armored landing crafts from where small seaside assaults can be done...
