    You’re right, I’m doubtful they will match on Moscow - won’t be surprised if they drone it though.

    Just keeping in mind this isn’t a war ending stellar breakthrough that many believe - its a blow for Russia, a boost for Ukraine, fighting in a new field around a new village. Russia has been invaded plenty of times, but that depth is a killer.

      Russia has been invaded plenty of times

      With F-16s, HIMARS, and drones?

      Modern warfare isn’t the same as Germany in WW2.

        No, with twin engine bombers, tanks, diesel trucks and radios after Napoleon failed.

        Don’t ever assume your tech is what makes old issues non-existent, can guarantee they thought the same as their cutting edge tech. Mud still sucks, logistics and supply are still vulnerable, and forces can get spread out.

        But shouldn’t the advancements of technology even out? Basically: While Ukraine has more advanced weapons then WW2 Germany, also Russia does. So at the end of the day this is still kind of a David vs Goliath situation
