Let's start with the Kerch bridge.The Ukrainians need to destroy the ferry terminal on Crimea as well or the Russians will use ferrys and ships to move their stuff.
Its not what ukr does or thinks but the impact in the rest of the world.
I'd love to see those newer Egyptian MiGs in Ukraine. Shout out to The Admiral for the previous link.
That Saldo fella' seems a bit whiny.

Nice. I have to admit I was drawn to the red head in the centre, but I'm a simple man married to my own Ukrainian. Now, is that a Su-24 to the left or another Fulcrum?
Considering that Russia has been the master of the "sneaky missile attack" for over a year now, I'm guessing that the last thing Ukraine is seeking, is forgiveness.He's reported to have said, ""It's this kind of sneaky missile attack that can't be forgiven. It's like a wounded animal snapping back."
That is a Fulcrum in the background. Vertical tail is different and the SU-24 is quite a bit bigger, think F-111ish size. You can also see the aft end of what looks like an AA-11 Archer missile under its wing (it's white).Nice.

We in NATO call them the Fulcrum, Fencer, Frogfoot and Flanker, but do the Ukrainians have names for their MiGs and Sukhois? Or are they simply referred to as MiG-29, Su-24, Su-25 and Su-27?
Ukraine has been hitting Russian logistics for months now, but has yet to make any of the significant gains the West was expecting of the spring counteroffensive. Russia may increasingly have serious challenges to supply, support and rotate their forces, but Ukraine still needs to sort out how to breach the 800 km defensive line and the thousands of antitank mines and move on Melitopol. Hitting logistics is important, that's how you win wars, but where is the Ukrainian counteroffensive? At what point will Russian logistics be sufficiently reduced? Will the much-vaulted 2023 spring counteroffensive need to be renamed the 2024 summer operation? Without a significant increase in breaching capability to support a major mechanized thrust, no matter the state of Russian logistics the Ukrainians are stuck in a Somme-like slog until well into 2024.I am sure most of you have seen this but the Russian Logistics issues have increased significantly over the last few days.
You are correct but these are significant blows, which will have an impact. It has taken time to get to this place but Ukraine are now here and do seem to be able to hit targets like these bridges.Ukraine has been hitting Russian logistics for months now, but has yet to make any of the significant gains the West was expecting of the spring counteroffensive.
