10 months agoAnd this is related to the relative capabilities of USA vs Russian in terms of logistics.
The Americans can generally afford the fuel, and the logistics tail to keep it flowing.
Russia cannot.
How well the M1A1 serves Ukraine remains to be seen, but so far they’ve gotten pretty fantastic performance out of every weapon system they’ve been given, from Javelins to Patriots.
All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability — even for national-level strategic sites.
They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.
Pitiful.
