  1.  @ArchOfficial  Wow, UA boots just exceeded total number of tanks Russia had as losses ;) Less than 100 vehicles of different types were loss both on the north and south flank of a successful Russian offensive to encircle the city (or what is left of it) of Avdiivka. Ukraine loosing 4 out of about 40 tanks they have is significant as it is a 10% loss of remaining fleet. They are also loosing other vehicles which they have no replacements for.

  2. Yeah but they would need 100s of F-16s to get such local air superiority. Russia has dense air defenses and would quickly deploy more assets in area you are trying to breach. In addition Russia has rather lots of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles which would now have F-16s as targets on few air bases that can host them.

  3. Yep like 24h ago Leopard tank was destroyed by massive fireball - probably stacked mines. Tank more or less was disintegrated. Ukraine lost 4 Leopards in just last 48h.

  4. Sure - but it would leave large gaps. How do you plan on clearing them?
