Possibly the 18s have tech Russia should not get to inspect, shrug
They are probably harder to maintain, there are a bunch of them kicking around and could prove useful for a couple of years or more before being retired or turned into drones and flown into rail bridges.Possibly the 18s have tech Russia should not get to inspect, shrug
Your suppositions are interesting, but I am unaware of corroborating information. I’ll wait and watch.They are probably harder to maintain, there are a bunch of them kicking around and could prove useful for a couple of years or more before being retired or turned into drones and flown into rail bridges.
I think Biden in particular is holding back to bleed the Russians white, he's not afraid just thinks this is the best solution. The US army has been facing the threat of soviet aggression in Europe for decades and I figure they have figured out the Russian dependency on the rails long ago and have multiple means to destroy Russian rail bridges far behind Russian lines. Ukraine does not have the means to do this and means could be clandestinely supplied to do it too, they could arrange for them to get the parts for a DIY solution. The war will be over when Biden wants it over or the Russians collapse on their own, but they will be destroyed before it is over and are almost there now. Putin could have sealed his own death warrant by knocking off the Wagner leadership, if must have pissed some people off.
It just struck me how much Sun-tzu sounds like the Deepak Chopra of war.Do the unexpected!
"Be where your enemy is not.”
"Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will.”
“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.”
~Sun Tzu
Much of war is about human nature and that has not changed since his time, though progress in war, technology and tactics has come a long way, he and Clausewitz are still respected and foundational like Darwin is in biology.It just struck me how much Sun-tzu sounds like the Deepak Chopra of war.
