No amount of ATACMS can do anything about that. You still have to advance slowly, figure out where the mines are, clean them up or move around them and then take the trenches.

Drones can do a whole lot more good for a whole lot less.

Where do you follow that?

[–] ParkingPsychology@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

/r/combatfootage on reddit. But you can also do it on twitter by following OSINT accounts (and you can combine the two). I just couldn't deal with the constant twitter BS anymore. They both mostly have "second hand" sources. First hand are telegram accounts, but I rather receive it filtered and sorted by votes, so I never went that far.

There's also a few Lemmy communities but they either are completely Ukrainian or have very little post activity compared to Combatfootage.

Have you ever heard of the word "logistic"?

Bro, can you please talk to me like I'm a normal human being?

I think that once the F16 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field. I assume we are giving them jdams so they will be capable of striking hundreds of miles into occupied territory.

Aren't there only a handful of Uke pilots that knew english well enough to do the training? I'm all for sending Ukraine whatever they ask for, but I doubt F-16s will turn the tide

The F-16 will be able to sniff out AA and other ground targets from far away. It will also allow Nato to gift more advanced missiles like JDAM. https://youtu.be/8G7fr3MonQY
