Having 'failed to make a breakthrough', Ukraine is entering a third year of war 'outgunned' and 'outmanned'

This weekend marks two years since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his troops and tanks across the border and launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It's also 10 years since he illegally annexed the Crimean peninsula.

Medvedev nearly dubs T-14 as a 'parade tank' in T-90M contrast

Dmitry Medvedev revealed the reasons behind the Russian army's decision not to deploy the new T-14 Armata main battle tank in Ukraine on February 22.

I liked this sentence: "It's superior to the Leopard, Challenger, and Abrams [tanks] across all technical data"

Definitely, the t-90 is a turret tossing world champion, no western tank comes close.

 

[fubar57]

I miss the turret toss

 

[RogerdeLluria]

There is footage that definitely confirms that something has been shot down. Lets hope it really is an A-50.
Thinning down the A-50 fleet in anticipation of the F-16 arrival can't be wrong.

[RogerdeLluria]

Yeah, there's speculation that a technical malfunction could have contributed to the crash. Either way though a good outcome.

Nope.

Apparently, civilians reached parts of the wreckage of the A-50. Images show shrapnel holes, clearly indicating that a missile hit the plane.
The only remaining unknown is the nationality of the missile.
Ukrainians claim responsibility.

 

[RogerdeLluria]

Ohh man, if true Russia is really having a bad day.

The are rumors that Ukraine just shot down another Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber over the Kherson region. Not confirmed yet.

Edit: Only a couple sources made this claim (one of them using images from the downed A50). Reliable sources say the claim is premature.
Guess we should treat it as fake news for now.

Probably, the last rumour until tomorrow morning (East Eur time): A-50 was shot down by S-200. And by the way, the Air Force said that the operation was done together with GUR.
My speculation suggestion: GUR's agents in the Russian territory tracked A-50 and provided the data to S-200 operators who launched a salvo of missiles with improved (active instead of old semi-active) homing and GPS guidance.

 

[SaparotRob]

The fact(?) it was an S-200 makes it all the more amusing. I'm old too.

Was at Wings and Wheels in Toronto today. I think they need to update the box artwork.

And just to stick it to Russia at little, I bought this made in Ukraine kit.

I'd like to see Canada donate all of our Leo2 MBTs. We're likely never to deploy them again in strength.

You are just trying to lull us border state Americans into a false sense of complacency. I know you binned the old invasion plan from a hundred years ago, but that just means you've come up with a newer plan.

Rumour has it that they have replaced the need for tanks with something else…
