Those weapons were game changers. By everyone's estimation Ukraine had no chance the first week or so.

The Javelins...stopped the kiev offensive in its tracks.

Himars helped liberate kherson and kharkiv.

The mere fact we are talking about this now, the mere fact counter offensives are happening, the mere fact that the West is weaning itself from Russian energy, russian blackmail isnt working, russian economy is losing and that their military has suffered catastrophic loses...the mere fact that F16s are now in the conversation....you bet these weapons made a huge difference.

And of course the courage and blood of the indomitable Ukranians.

how long will it take for ukraine to take back all its territory?

will it happen this year?

naka plano na talaga ang f16

The F-16s are already happening. Bill passed in July funded the training and pilots who speak English were selected in November by Ukraine for it. We're just not announcing it until they are ready is what's probably happening.

Tired of all these proxy war crap! Why don’t they just freaking start a full scale war with Russia?

Para matapos na at magkaalaman na kung sino pinakasiga.

China will just sit down, relax, and let them burn each other. Hehehe

All the experts were wrong at the start so am not gonna follow anyone's predictions. But there are trends that we can help us make a guess:

- the 10 to 1 volume of artillery strikes advantage the russians had at the start of the war is now 1:1. Thats a crazy trend.

- this is an artillery duel with both air forces relegated to the sidelines. Most of the Russian mechanized losses have come from artillery and atgms. Russia and the Ukraine are desperately sourcing ammunition for their guns. Russia going to North Korea for ammo and the west supplying Ukraine.

- europe and The USA are massively expanding their ammunition production. They are learning their lessons here...high tech platforms and smart weapons are one thing...but volume of artillery barrages is another. The USA will increase its 155mm artillery shell production 600% by 2024. This shows they are in it for the long haul and will be shoving these shells at Ukraine as fast as the Ukranians can fire them.

- its a drone war. From big to small...we have never ever seen a war fought on such an intimate scale where small drones are taking out individual fox holes. Who can maximize the drones for intelligence, artillery fire correction and lethal strikes will definitely benefit.

- the russians have 20x the manpower. Life is cheap and meaningless to them. They execute their own without remorse. They show no signs of valuing their soldiers unlike the Ukranians for whom every loss matters. Can the ukranians hold before the russians find their human wave loses intollerable?

- China and India arent giving weapons (yet) to Russia. India probably wont ever. China obviously doesnt want sanctions. Russia is counting on other dictatorships like Iran and North Korea who have serious ballistic missle capabilties.

- Nato and the rest obviously are pouring a sh*t ton of gear into ukraine and the value and return on their support has been HUge. The flood of anti aircraft artillery and missles systems after the energy strikes has seriously made a dent in the Russian cruise and hypersonic missle stockpiles. These SAM systems have obviously made the skies over Ukraine unsafe for the vaunted russian airforce and they are forced to fire their missles from within their own territory. The ukrainians still have an Air force which is amazing.

- who can sustain Aid more to ukraine [emoji1255] will probably win this bloody battle of attrition. It seems the West has the financial and mindeset muscle to win that calculus.

- the main battle tanks that are coming are just the first tranche. As the allies see that the Ukranians are using them effectively...they will throw more metal into the battlefield. Thats a clear pattern of their Aid. Heck the most advanced SAM system in the world...the Patriot is being handed over. 3 batteries or 4 if i am not mistaken. Not to mention the NASMS and Iris-T and cold war era Hawk sam systems as well ss the Manpads.

- fighter jets are next. That will definitely even the scales. I for one cant wait for more ass russian and wagner ass to be kicked. Then we will see....
