Plenty of work for Russian armour enthusiasts after this "war". Strip the wrecks and assemble some nice trophies for Russias various museums and armour parks!Hole wrote:To Arrow/ALAMO: Those Bradley in the short videos look slightly damaged.
Russia can repair all her stuff or produce new one. The Ukros can´t even change damaged tracks on their Bradleys.

Russian Air defense systems shot down four Ukrainian aircraft : three Su-27 and one Su-24 of the Ukrainian Air Force in the areas of Shirokoe, Odarovka, Zaporozhye region and Grigorovka, Dnepropetrovsk region, the Ministry of Defense reports.
It is significant, by the way, that for Russia the destruction of enemy aircraft is a routine matter of front-line reports.
And for Ukraine it is the event of the year!

It is easy to do that when you can rely on AWACS airplane coverage from inside NATO airspace. You keep the radar of the SAM battery powered off until the last minute. But of course the moment you launch SAMs then Russia can track the missile battery.Isos wrote:Ukrainians don't have that many planes tho. They need to stop propaganda and find a way to hunt the patriots. Their ELINT seems to suck badely. Even at the front line they don't know where the patriots are.

Notice how Russia claimed the destruction of NASAMS and Crotale-NG right after this. Either of those systems are much easier to hide and fire in an ambush than something like Patriot. We also had reports of Australia sending an E-7 Wedgetail to that area of the globe not that long ago. Probably part of a joint operation of some sort.

In case of actual war of Russia against NATO those AWACS platforms would be just shot down and Starlink wouldn't stay up either.

You will never hear anything about destroyed russian planes from the russian airforce anyway.
Some pro russian accounts already confirmed some losses few days ago of some planes. Very likely patriot hits because no other system has enough range.

Wrong. The 737 AEW&C aircraft radar for example has over 600 km range. This is more than the distance from Kherson to the Romanian border. The distance from Iasi to Kherson is 360 km.Isos wrote:Awacs don't have the range to scan eastern ukrainian front from nato territory.
They just use their AD effectively.
