We can wish, but couple thousand out of 140 millions mean little.

how many of those 140mil are even aware that rus has invaded UKR?
Those poor bastards are probably being told they're going to liberate ukranian russians from nazis
Yeah, who knows what they are being fed, but the russian casualties will definitely have some sway in their perceptions, Cant hide those numbers since its families that are counting.
Or just tell him they won and hide the TV remote.
Not like he's ever going to go there.

A vast majority? Putin announced the military operation on their national TV and your should see the tv debates that were talking about taking UA and the rest of Europe for weeks prior to the attack.
The one I saw got a little punchy and headlock-y
"A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic" - some Russian guy, probably.
After all, they were all told it was only training maneuvers, not combat.
And now they are getting to trained in how to play dead.....

And the families would know how exactly?
Pretty easy to tell something is up when your kid doesnt come home from a training exercise, ever
Right, they won't come home from their conscription term, months down the road. And then the state will put a heavy lid on any information not coming from the apparatchiks, anyway.

The United States announced Monday it is expelling 12 members of the Russian Mission at the United Nations, accusing them of being “intelligence operatives” engaged in espionage.
The Biden administration’s action came on the fifth day of Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine, which has sparked condemnation from the United States and dozens of other countries.
The U.S. Mission to the United Nations said in a statement that the Russian diplomats “have abused their privileges of residency in the United States by engaging in espionage activities that are adverse to our national security.”
The mission said the expulsions have been “in development for several months” and are in accordance with the United States’ agreement with the United Nations as host of the 193-member world body.
According to the U.N. diplomatic directory, Russia has 79 diplomats accredited to the United Nations. The U.S. Mission did not name those who are being expelled or state how long they are being given to leave the country.

A strong man can only be a strong man if he's strong. So far, the Ukranians have embarrassed the Russian army, and by extension Putin. It makes me worry about the next phase of this war...Fiona Hill is a fucking BOSS

if even 40 of those jets could tear up the 17 mile Russian column by Thursday, that could be decisive in that particular offensive.

honest to god if I had rocket launchers (which I do not) I'd be sending them to Ukraine right now.

Why would they expose so many units? The only reason I think of is because they can, because they own the skies.
And that is a bit worrisome.
Means russia has air superiority deep inside Ukraine and UA cant touch those tanks.
Read that the Russia convoy is now 40 miles long.
But if the new migs absolutely destroy the roads, that supply convoy will be stuck. (In Ukraine)
(most are trucks, not tanks)
yeah, tomorrow could be grim. But if Russia had total air superiority, they could have destroyed those two cities by air by now, I would imagine.

ya gotta keep in mind those russian convoys are kids with little to no training and have no clue about defensive spacing and maneuvering in elements. I just got to wonder if ukraine has the nards to light them up over the border before they get to ukraine.
And this is just the beginning, every respectable nation is gonna want a piece of repelling this bullshit.
where are the Anonymous hackers when we need them, jamming Russian communications and other mayhem?
White hats, now is your moment to shine!
So what happens when you annihilate the first oh... mile of a supply convoy right when it enters the combat zone and there is nowhere for the rest of the convoy to go?
We were taught to take out the lead and rear elements to pin down the main body then strafe or indirect fire for the rest. If the Ukrainians have some smart peeps they will use the road locations to their advantage since it lays out a GPS fire mission for them to run along. The US and brits sent in a bunch of SF vets to help with things just like this. In Iraq a strike like this was enough to send peeps running for the hills on foot.
Regarding mouth-breathing Republican Putin apologists, here is a teeny, tiny sliver of hope.

Before you can use air power to defeat ground forces you need to achieve air superiority which entails defeating air to air forces and ground to air, which is much more of a fight of technological superiority and numbers instead of pluck and drive.
However, if Putin has decisive air superiority, why has he waited for ground troops, when he could have destroyed Kyiv with his aircraft? To be able to swiftly take over the charred remains with his ground crews?
I guess that would be good strategy to dovetail the two events. The next few days are going to be fugly.

There has been a lot of headscratching in regards to the Russian strategy, including the lack of known air power. It makes sense to me that Putin massively underestimated the response of the Ukrainians and that the Russian strategy has been slow to respond. But now that cornered by the chance of failure they will adjust and it isn't going to be pretty. We very well may go from respecting Ukrainian resolve to abhorred by the slaughter of resolved Ukrainians.
It is fun to laugh at the Russian failures, hopefully they continue but it would be a giant mistake to expect so.
