    Looks like the collapse of the Ukrainan army is happening.

    I'm finding this hard to believe
    And it's not like they can hastily train new pilots in weeks or something, the Su-25 is a complicated machine - anything that flies is, but especially military aircraft and jet aircraft.

    Some are mercs, some are cadets.
    They used to train foreign pilots, so they had a working military-grade aviation education.
    I guess there are dozens of young folks in schools knowing how to start with a plane. Considering the situation, landing skill is not required ...

    To fly perhaps. Although a 2-engine jet aircraft is no slouch, it takes a lot of instruction and practice. The engines can even catch on fire if you don't stick to procedure for starting them up.
    I tried my hand with a A-10 simulator once. Wow. It's insane. And I'm someone who has a pinch of experience with planes, knows the theory and has flown single-engine prop aircraft with instructors. Hey, it's something.

    But to use weapon systems and destroy targets I can hardly believe. Dumb bombs, unguided rockets - they would be ineffective in the hands of cadets. You would hardly be able to make out targets, navigate accurately - much less aim.
    Guided missiles like the Kh-29, or the S-25L corrected rocket - maybe. But it's a lot of workload for one pilot not even out of the academy - to simultaneously fly the aircraft, distinguish friendly from enemy forces, and manage a guided weapons system at the same time.
    As for mercs - I don't know if they'd be that dumb. They can see the sortie reports and casualty figures

    No landing skills. The good old al-Kaida flying school. Very Happy

    Lol, do you know how absurd this sounds for someone who actually been to Ukraine? 20 years ago or so people barely spoke Ukrainian.
    You just sound like Ukrainian extremist who are breaking their backs trying to prove that Ukraine and Russia are not connected in any way.

    Give it 10-15 years and sentiment can change again, but fact is that Russians and Ukrainians are brotherly nations with almost the same mentality and in my opinion, Ukrainians are closer to Russians than to Poles or even mellow Belarussians (They are Estonians of Slavs)

    Nazism in Russia was also rife in the 90s, but Oligarchs never managed to use those elements and they just faded away, in Ukraine as you can see - they were used as a muscle to get certain people in power and all the bullshit narrative was promoted by them.

    If they do this fast it will mean insufficient number of Ukrops killed

    You are suggesting winning the war and losing the peace (and ensuing insurgency)

    Go slow, kill them all and Odessa will be reached in due time

    This war can only have two outcomes: Russia on Polish border or Russia ceasing to exist, no middle ground anymore

    So best to do it right

    I agree. They just better keep a keen eye on Odessa. Its the only real asset left.

    Anyway Im glad to see the board has settled in a bit. Early in the war there was sure a lot of arrogant brOSINTards around.

    Its a tragedy. But the Ukraine troops, not just the Nazis, wanted a fight. Some probably thought they could win. Nothing else explains the relative lack of surrendering. There's surrenders in the 100's. But not in the 1000's. If you really want to surrender, there's probably a way. But when you look on the telegram channels, these Ukie dimwits are just fighting. Their lifespan on the front lines is measured in minutes, but they keep fighting. And Russia gave Ukraine a whole 2 weeks to surrender.

    No sympathy.
