100% agree. It is a frightening environment which I think many don't truly grasp.Agree. What critics miss sometimes, is that in this war, if anything is observed it can be killed within a few minutes. And the battlefield is so transparent as never before in history. And air defence systems of all ranges are in a deficit.
Why use a word when a confusing acronymn will do?What is it with American missile naming conventions? What happened to names like Shrike, Honest John and Hawk? GLSDB, NASAMS? Those aren't names. That's what you get when you pick tiles to play "Scrabble".

True or not, it cheered me up a bit.It's being reported that Ukrainian air-launched cruise missiles struck the Belbek military airfield in occupied Crimea, destroying two Su-27 and one Su-30 aircraft.

I expect US aid to Ukraine will continue to be politically restricted until the Nov 2024 election or even later, which means 2024 is a lost year for Ukraine, where even with improved aid from the non-US NATO partners, EU, Australia, etc. the UAF will at best spend this year holding its ground. So, we must wait to 2025 for the big push to Crimea.
