Nobody is winning (i.e. at the moment) or nobody is going to win? Which are you asserting, specifically? As far as being “fixated on winning” …...
Yeah, they quickly regretted that play.
All true, but the jury’s still out. If this ends in a strategic victory for Russia, then much of what you’re pointing out matters relatively...
Some analysis of the FLIR video followed by an amusing related tale from younger days. - The missile appears to be wire-guided as opposed to...
If it was one of our Hellfires, then maybe. They went for about $75K 20 years ago (I remember because we had one pilot who missed a target with...

Not quite yet. Looks more like shaping operations according to the analysts. We will know an offensive is actually underway once large formations...
I agree with these two. But even then only with some significant improvements in all parts of the game from last year.
