while Kherson and Kharkiv aren’t minor but the overall of the War effort they may as well be since again they failed to destroy the Russia military units in those offensive of theres and the Ukrainians don’t even have that much bigger disadvantage than the Russians both of them have advantage and disadvantage
As I said while it would've been great to capture more Russian troops, they still lost significant numbers of troops and equipment in their retreat. That's not nothing and also the territory that the Ukrainians have taken back its not likely to fall to the Russians again because of their lack of combat power and competent troops led by competent leaders.
Kherson city and the areas retaken by the Ukrainians are going to probably remain in their hands indefinitely for the rest of this war and beyond. The same probably goes for all the other land retaken in other parts of Ukraine.
If the Russians took only moderate to light casualties escaping the Kherson area, if they ever decide to try and invade and retake that area its going to likely mean heavy losses for them now that the Ukrainians will be ready for any Russian attack in that area.
Even if they have Air superiority they armored spearhead will never going to work infantry based weaponry is bane to all vehicles especially tanks what they need is more infantry which they doing with 300k men after all air superiority is nothing more a factor in overall war this type of conflict is decided by artillery which the Russians have huge abundance off
This is where you're completely wrong. The reason why NATO and especially the US place so much priority in having the world's best airforce is because AIR SUPERIORITY IS EVERYTHING on the battlefield. Once you gain control of the air, you command the battlefield and can attack anything, anytime, anywhere.
What does it matter if you have 300k troops and 1,000 tanks when it can all get wiped out with airstrikes and guided missiles? You say artillery is important and I agree, but airpower is king and when you have air superiority you can bomb the hell out of artillery and missile systems and wipe them off the map. All you need to do is find these units with surveillance drones or perhaps special forces operating behind enemy lines identifying targets and calling it in and boom that target is gone.
Remember that 40km supply column that was headed to Kiev early in the war? The Ukrainians didn't have the weapons to destroy that juicy target. With NATO's airforce that entire column would've been completely wiped out along with most of the troops, tanks, IFVs etc that were on the front as well and it would've been a massive blow that the Russians might never have recovered from and may have ended the war right there. That's how important air superiority is.
Artillery and rocket systems have more importance in Ukraine right now because both sides don't have control of the air and hence neither can launch deep airstrikes into enemy territory without having a high chance of getting shot out of the skies.
Most of Ukraine equipment came from the west not the Russia equipment or else they be have logistics problems which they already have with different components that only belong to Russia factories case in point like MBT like T-80 and T-90 those tanks have different engine and different parts than the T-72 or the T-64 tanks that Ukraine have in abundance making them mostly rarely be
While its true that NATO countries have donated some tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine, a vast number if not the majority have come from captured Russian equipment and you do remember that Ukraine was a big producer of armored vehicles for the USSR in years past don't you?
'Malyshev Factory - is a state-owned manufacturer of heavy equipment in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It was named after the Soviet politician Vyacheslav Malyshev. The factory is part of the State Concern UkrOboronProm (Ukrainian Defense Industry).
It produces diesel engines, farm machinery, coal mining, sugar refining, and wind farm equipment, but is best known for its production of Soviet tanks, including the BT tank series of fast tanks, the famous T-34 of the Second World War, the Cold War T-64 and T-80, and their modern Ukrainian successor, the T-84. The factory is closely associated with the Morozov Design Bureau (KMDB), designer of military armoured fighting vehicles and the Kharkov Engine Design Bureau (KEDB)[2] for engines. During 1958 it constructed "Kharkovchanka", an off-road vehicle which reached the South Pole the following year.
At its height during the Soviet era, the factory employed 60,000 of Kharkiv's 1.5 million inhabitants.'
As you can see the Ukrainians have plenty of people who can service captured Russian equipment when many of them were involved in building those vehicles many years earlier.
