This war is going to go on until at at least till Putin dies won't it?
Russians really fucked themselves on this one. But it looks more and more like they are just willing to kill themselves and Ukraine to save face. It looks like the only hope for Ukraine is to attrition the Russian military while sanctions are ongoing that the Russians get so pissed off at their shitty lives that they do something. But the Russians aren't famous for doing anything about their shitty lives so I doubt that's going to happen soon.
Hopefully Ukraine can destroy enough AA to use these planes to get effect next year.
