Na, just some creative editing of an actual scholarly paper abstract.

One thing I think folks are not really factoring is just how much the Ukrainian tactics and doctrine have changed, or not. While there has been a huge mindset change at the lower level of the Ukrainian military how much has changed at the middle and higher ranks? I don't know but while it appears there have been changes at that level I question just how deep they have gotten. Significant reforms in training really started only about 2014 and deeper changes at the leadership level often take a generation or two to really take root, if they do.

SUPPO (EXLOG) agrees ?
In order to merge this thread with the Football thread, here's last Saturday at the UT Ball game. This grad student obviously was unaware of the efficacy of suspenders, and was probably/maybe overserved. Clearly needs a hip-pocket class on suspenders. ?
Interesting. Apparently UKR destroyed a lot of RUS aviation assets yesterday in the occupied territory of UKR. We should have given them the capability earlier, but I'm glad it's showing up now.
Obviously not verified stuff, but seems legit.

Thought this was an interesting read: why Slovakia’s policy changed so dramatically after their last election- it’s personal.

The new Slovak PM still bears a grudge for how he was treated in Kyiv in 2009.

I’m still amazed at how many believe this UKR is full Nazi-Werewolf-drug-dealers BS. Maybe I need to go post on the “Am I the ass hole?” Sub Reddit and set myself straight?Thought this was an interesting read: why Slovakia’s policy changed so dramatically after their last election- it’s personal.

Edit: turn “IKR” into “UKR”
Total is looking like 24 airframes destroyed or heavily damaged, for the cost of 8 decommissioned, expired missiles. Helluva bargain.
Interesting..Didn't know that was a decommissioned variant. Thanks for the info. Why wouldn't we give them more, if they're fucking up 24 airframes? I'm guessing the Russians are rethinking their aircraft parking plans...
Source I read said they were not decommissioned per se, but we decided we most likely wouldn't use them because they are cluster munitions and that's frowned upon. Seem to have been the right tool for the job here.
From what I’ve seen, we gave them the earliest variants that were potentially expired stocks. Cluster variant though, which is great for soft targets like airfields or troop concentration points, but not armored targets. I’m sure the UKR targeteers have some ideas. Wish we would’ve done it earlier.
