6 months in to this war in Ukraine its plainly evident that besides having a large nuclear arsenal the Russians have lost superpower status. Having studied and read many technical assessments of the Russian and Chinese hardware.....it is plain to see that American writers and analysts have drastically over rated the fighting capabilities of the Russian military. The biggest mistakes were made in the assessments of ground armor, and the air capabilities of there 4++ generation aircraft. The Russians have lost half of the su-35 airframes and pilots. This is there most advanced aircraft and was not long ago considered a match to the American made f-22 raptor. After 6 months, 2000 tanks, hundreds of aircraft, and 80,000 casualties the Russians are losing ground to a Ukraine fighting force thats armed with only a few of the high tech military pieces in the US inventory. The HIMARS system has become the darling of the us inventory, and its hi-tech guided rounds are absolutely crushing the Russians. The advent of guided and ramjet powered artillery shells has been the edge the Ukrainians needed !! As horrible and tragic as this conflict has been it has been absolutely fascinating watching the military hardware matchups......it is safe to say that constant fear mongering from the American military analyst have kept the flow of money pouring into american weaponry and defenses against this joke we call russia. Are they dangerous....yes.....should we be vigilant....yes....should we be prepared....yes !!
Im terrified that we have backed the bear into a corner, and its ready to fight to the death.....launch a nuke !!
