And battleships.If the Ukrainians had air power, they probably would have had much more success.
Apples and Oranges. More comparable would be Dieppe, which was a fiasco. That Ukraine has achieved as much as they have is a miracle. No allies on the ground. No air superiority. Limited equipment. Our expectations of greater success was/is unrealistic.As for Normandy, three months reporting might look like this: June 6th, 156,000 soldiers hit the beaches or drop inland; June 12th, all five beachheads successfully connected; June 26th Cherbourg port captured; 21 July city of Caen captured; Aug 25th, Paris liberated; Aug 30th, German forces retreated east across the Seine, marking the close of Operation Overlord. Total allied casualties 10,000 at Normandy, 226k total Overlord op.
Casualties aside, the Ukrainians and the West would have been ecstatic if Ukraine could have reported such success. Instead, the Ukrainian troops are saying they're stuck in an untenable swamp with no achievable objectives. It sounds to be like a loss in faith in their higher ups.
Just a tiny add on. What if the ukr punched a hole ? With what to fill it?Apples and Oranges. More comparable would be Dieppe, which was a fiasco. That Ukraine has achieved as much as they have is a miracle. No allies on the ground. No air superiority. Limited equipment. Our expectations of greater success was/is unrealistic.

For a report on the Overlord landings, start here on Pg 27.... LIFEInteresting article.
I wonder how they would have reported on the "bleak outlook" of the landings at Normandy, Salerno or Okinawa.
