If you have a better solution, why don’t you write a nice email to him. I’m sure he could use a brilliant military scientist like yourself…

    This is war, not detecting too much salt (which arguable 'everyone' is an expert in). Complaints are cheap. If you can't say how or why a tactic is wrong, why should we believe you?

      No one is going to give you an essay on what exactly they should do when they no one here even has all the intel. You can at best guess and present some technobabble that sounds plausible. But the current trajectory of the war and the perpetual cycle of asking for more should speak volumes on the current leadership.

    You don’t criticize, you’re making an unsubstantiated claim. Criticizing requires making an argument, opening you up for counter-criticism.

May I wonder what would you propose in his stead ? I am not a military inclined person, but asking for missiles that are purposefully built to target air missiles as well as their delivery mechanisms seems reasonable to me. Am I missing something ?

You know that these KAB bombs are launched from airplanes that are directly countered by these exact propositions, right?

  Yup, I am also looking forward to finding Zelensky in Spain in a couple of months at the beach.

    That's what you want, not what is going to happen. I've seen an uncountable number of similar "predictions" in 2022. Where are those trolls now?

      The 2022 predictions of Russia's imminent collapse are looking pretty bad as well. Do you call the people who were predicting that trolls? This was has already lasted longer than early-war internet commenters on both sides said it would. No fair picking on the predictions of others without exposing myself to the same, so here is my prediction: eventually cease fire terms will be agreed upon when both sides become too weary to continue and the war will "end" in a frozen conflict that won't see a satisfactorily conclusion for generations. Think Korea.

        Those were too naive to believe some tectonic changes are possible in a dictatorship, where the overwhelming majority at least passively supports the regime. Meanwhile, the "Zelensky was evacuated by Polish forces" is a narrative that was pushed by the Kremlin during the initial months. A ceasefire is feasible, but given that both sides have unsatisfied medium sized goals in mind, I don't think that it will hold for long.

These bombs are launched from planes. Patriot missiles can take down those planes but need to be very close to the frontline and therefore are vulnerable. Ukraine lost part of a Patriot system at the Eastern front that way. AFAIK, fighter jets are commonly regarded as the better solution to that particular problem, though these are in turn vulnerable to enemy AA, of course.
