chartpolski 23,956 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I'm certainly no military expert, but that forty mile Russian armoured column wouldn't last five minutes against NATO air power. Remember the Iraqi armoured column , it was like shooting fish in a barrel ! Putin is finding it harder than planned against Ukraine, it would be a hell of a lot harder if he tries it against a NATO country. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He knows the convoy is in no danger form any form of attack by air. Compared with Ukrain he has infinitely superior fire power from his migs and hind attack helicopters 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s some commentary that the reason he hasn’t achieved air superiority yet is because they don’t really feel that Ukrainian air power is that much of a threat given russias more advanced mobile air defences, which will be part of that column. Still, a nato force would leather it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d suspect that the commanders expected Ukraine to just give up. I don’t think they expected that they might have to trash the place to win. Such an aggressive approach will only lead to a prolonged insurgency and more shit from the international community. They also have limited supplies of precision weapons and even now are largely using unguided stuff because it’s cheap and plentiful. Unguided munitions cause way more collateral. Anyway, it’s coming. They haven’t a choice. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russia expected a fairly quick surrender with minimal collateral damage, to "win" now they have to "flatten the place" as you say... but what will that bring them long term? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My money is on the military removing him from power and installing military rule. And I don't think it will be long in coming. I don't think that's going to happen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
