A little more on that factory hit.  It probably didn’t slow production too much, but hitting a vital factory 1000km into the country is pretty serious.

 

Ukrainian drones struck the capital of the Chuvash republic of Cheboksary in Russia, which is around 1,000 km from the Ukrainian border. Target was VNIIR-Progress factory. Explosion from the factory area can be seen from multiple angles.
 

VNIIR is a leading Russian developer, manufacturer, and supplier of hardware and software solutions for relay protection and automation, automated process control systems, electronic component base (electronic modules), electrical engineering products, radio-electronic products, as well as automation control systems and hardware and software solutions. They also produce antennas for anti drone protection.

All airports in that region have been closed.

If our country was still capable of shame, how embarrassing is it that someone close to the President--who knows him well--talks about him to fucking Russians like a fucking child. 

"Just call and congratulate him on his achievement. Tell him what a big, strong man he is. Maybe tousle his hair a little. He'll agree to anything."

I don’t think Ukraine needs the United States to hang on long enough for Russia to implode.  Moscow and Saint Petersburg peeps aren’t going to stay silent in their luxury apartments without electricity or heat this winter.

Russia has no air defense. This is only gonna get worse for Russia.  Ukraine just needs to slow-roll any peace talks with the  assistance of our European allies until they have enough stock for a 50 ICBM launch at more power plants.  and then Russians can give each other IOU for potatoes for Christmas gifts.

Thank goodness we're respected again, right @realgreggym?

I want this to be true, but how so?

They are running out of planes, jet fuel, and experienced pilots.  Their air defenses have clearly been degraded, and Ukraine has tried to take out every air defense radar and missile site it can.  

Russia moved their fighter bombers far away from Ukraine to avoid the drone swarms, but now that Ukraine can reach anywhere I’m not sure what their plan is to disperse aircraft.  Ukraine is not stopping It’s hunt for radar and missile sites.  Russia simply cannot replace those sophisticated systems under the current sanctions and economic enshittening. 

As long as Ukrainian jets have altitude, manpads aren’t a problem.  The glide bombs are launched by Russia outside of Ukrainian territory.  I think it is rare for Russian aircraft to enter Ukrainian airspace.  Could be wrong. I’m not specifically following the air war.

but I do look forward to the day that Ukrainian Jets can attack Russian jets as they try to launch bombs at Ukrainian citizens

@Gatorubet covered most, but I'd say that Ukraine is getting modern fighters in numbers the Russians can't (along with the munitions for them), and Ukraine is increasing production of their homegrown long-range munitions (drones/missiles) which are performing admirably, all the while Russia can't currently keep up with air defense system production (as Ukraine continues to destroy/degrade them and target the manufacturing chain). 

Russia also can't seem to shake the strategy of lobbing a significant number of missiles/drones at civilian targets, which, just as the Germans did during the Battle of Britain (when they switched from targeting the RAF to civilians), is going to bite them in the ass, since every missile or drone put into civilian targets is a missile or drone that's not used against military targets. If their production/acquisition slows down, they are going to wish they had those missiles and drones.

When Germany was unable to defend the Fatherland from allied bombing, things started turning slowly, and then suddenly. There's going to come a point where Ukraine drops the Kerch bridge, and shuts down large-scale navel re-supply to Crimea, and starts putting missiles into Moscow. They are already hitting power facilities around Moscow as it is, and there seems to be few targets in Crimea and along the Russian coastline that Ukraine can't touch (and Ukraine has been working over Russia's cargo ships that would be used to supply Crimea).

I won't join Gatorubet in his bet about next June, but I do think things will look completely different by then, and probably even by February.  This is a very unique moment in history - Ukraine is able to put an economic (and arguably psychological once the heating and electricity fails for longer and longer times) pressure on Russia that few other countries in history have been able to accomplish in the same situation.

Exclusive-US peace plan for Ukraine drew from Russian document, sources say

The U.S.-backed 28-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine, which became public last week, drew from a Russian-authored paper submitted to the Trump administration in October, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The Russians shared the paper, which outlined Moscow's conditions for ending the war, with senior U.S. officials in mid-October, following a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Washington, the sources said.

That’s debatable. They were promised 100 Grippen but it wasn’t a grant according to the video I posted a few days ago. Ukraine will need to pay for them. Ukraine, however, has worse financials than Russia (again in the video). So, I am a little skeptical whether Ukraine will ever see the full 100. It seems to me to be more of just a letter of intent.

Someone needs to show him a poll that a majority of people think he’s a weak bitch - and Putin’s bitch - because a strong man would arm Ukraine.  Plus, demanding that the kids are returned would ease the pressure on all things pedophile.

if the Ukrainian special forces are so damn good, then why can’t they kill Kadyrov - - leaving evidence it was an FSB action.

It seems like it’s just about time for a second front in Russia, no?
