@tivasyk @rada so much zrada! But jokes aside, sexy fighter-bombers, armed with air to air missiles are pretty decent at knocking helis, I hear. Hence the "fighter" part. 🙂
My interpretation is that the pokes right now are to show the West that they (the West) has fucked up by not giving sufficient hardware and setting up Spring/Summer offensive 2024.
There is also still hope of a thrust to Moscow, it's significantly less defended than Zaporizhye.
@tivasyk @rada I absolutely unironically think that one of the lines in Vilnius shall be "look, we need a permission to attack into the russian territory in force". I also don't think that the West will be brave enough to agree to it, but it's gonna still be a bargaining chip.
