Re: Russian-Ukrainian War: Combat Tactics & Strategy
The constraint is not the number of bombs (more than 100 /day are available), but the number of aircraft that can carry the bombs. yes and also ISR. All targets are not suitable for fab lobbing.

Russia still does armored attacks and then loses armor to fpvs and artillery. It is so predictable.

Re: Russian-Ukrainian War: Combat Tactics & Strategy
ammunition will make mrginal difference if the manpower difference is not made up.
when russia retreated from kherson n kharkiv, it had way more ammo but not men.
Even now ukrainian withdrawal os men related, less ammo relatd.

Exactly sometimes I'm amazed at the amount of russian materiel that is destroyed. I just assume someone is doing a bean counter for these. It does seem that Ukraine had a very favorable edge in FPVs in last 5 months.

These missiles are not just for Taiwan, they are also a super big threat to India.
It is fine to say its propaganda - it very well be. Also that costing etc will not work out. But we can ill-afford to not prepare for this kind of mass war at our own peril.
