It’s not a question if they can take Ukraine but at what cost.
They are behind schedule they couldn’t maintain objectives they captured and are still fighting over the same cities.
They have given up on many objectives in south Ukraine and failed to secure a land bridge to Crimea.
They have already given up on taking many primary objectives and are now bypassing them and pretty much concentrating nearly everything on Kyiv.
The Pentagon, UK MoD and plenty of other entities have been publishing daily analysis.
The fact that they lost so many assets and haven’t been able to establish air superiority (despite Ukraine having pretty much no Airforce and very limited AA) is a also clear indication of their current capabilities also.
And I find it laughable to claim that they are limiting offenses on civilian targets when they are using MLRS and cluster munitions on cities and have been since the war began.
- ALittleLight 5y agoBehind what schedule? In my previous comment I asked for a schedule posted before the invasion. Has the Pentagon or MoD published such a timetable for how they expected it to go? What assets have they lost and what are reasonable expectations for losses? The kind of stuff I'm seeing here seems like half an analysis. "Russia has done X" okay, but what should we be expecting? How do we know if X is good or bad? I just haven't seen it. How much was this expected to cost Russia?
