There's a sad but perhaps unsaid factor in this war that many on HN seem unaware of. People seem to think that the fact that the Russian army is disorganized and slow is a problem. It's not - Putin doesn't care about the body count provided he comes away with a victory. If Ukraine is to win this war, the battle for air supremacy and a constant supply of anti-tank armour is much more important. If they can stop Russian armour using a combination of airpower and anti-tank weapons then they have a chance. I think both of these things have a critical dependence on Ukraine being able to show the ability to resist Russian advances. If they continue that, then Western support of arm shipments is likely to increase. Significantly, both the Germans and Dutch have started sending anti-tank weapons in the last 2 days.
