Then Russia will probably finally enter combat. They’ve essentially been using an expeditionary force this whole time, which seems to have decimated the Ukrainian military.

“According to UK Ministry” tells you all you need to know. How would they know any of this? And if true, Russia will just send reinforcements.

Western weapons are just a drop in the ocean, by their own admission. Not to mention the months it takes to train the operators or the logistics supply requirements needed.

@diffrentperspective-z7t the Russians haven’t even used their main army yet; it’s just an expeditionary force. Ukraine, however, has already lost most of its best fighters, and when the Donbas is taken, they will lose all of them.

@khiem1939 if those numbers are even true, and not manufactured from Ukraine officials, then now you see the size of a Russian expeditionary force. Imagine when they send in their actual army.

@russelledwards001 Russia has all the gas…

@stuartbeard966 so then why is Russia conducting regular air strikes? Where is Ukraine’s Air Force? Is the Ghost of Kyiv on vacation?

@janjan-dd4wv Russia hasn’t even sent its main military yet.

@LocalBloodAngelEnjoyer are they also the ones saying Ukraine is winning?

@harmless6813 Russians are providing heavy support and have been using republic militias, Chechens, and mercenaries in the beginning. They haven’t even tapped their main national military yet.

@humanonearth1 what do you mean?

@humanonearth1 what?

@kevinwarburton2938 they have not mobilized their full military. That’s the point. Russia hasn’t even started fighting for real, whereas Ukraine is practically de-militarized.

@Coughinggonzalo what? Russia isn’t a big nation?
1
@rjbmarchiac8693 considering that Ukraine’s main army has largely been destroyed and that they’re already tapping their reserves and conscripts, Russia can do just fine?

@Coughinggonzalo America lost Afghanistan too, so that’s not a good metric. And Russia is still in top 10 population rankings.

@Coughinggonzalo an L is still an L.

@rjbmarchiac8693 point is, Ukraine has already lost most of its best fighters and has mobilized its reserves. Russia has mostly been using republic militias, mercenaries, and expeditionary forces. They haven’t even fought for real yet.

@joecater894 how will such small deliveries tip the scales?

@stuartbeard966 higher tech means nothing if you don’t have the logistics to keep them operational.

@harmless6813 and when those pieces get hit with an air strike, the it’s back to square one.
