The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust
this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports
that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the
situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a
large plethora of military resources? PS: I realize there are many casualties on
both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to
how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia
winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so
I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of
allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic
country.
By all accounts, the RF's air defense network is really fucking good, because they've had like 60 years to adapt to the NATO strategy of sending a million bombers to level a place and counting on the enemy being too poor the intercept them.
Although even then, the Viet Minh sometimes managed to shoot down US planes just with massed rifle fire
Well it’s nice to know that its the exact opposite of what is being stated. You’d think if it was that easy they’d send planes over by now but clearly that wouldn’t bode well for NATO…
I personally think that's why Ukraine hasn't been given F35s, because the US knows it would be a pr disaster for it's highly publicized, peer combat-untested 80 million dollar wunderwaffe to eat an S-3000 missile that 'only' cost a million to make.

also, if russian federation could salvage it and study more efficient ways to combat then, so us would be forced to retrofit lots of units
