They're nice videos but they're not THAT nice.

waiting longer than expected is a great tactic actually. As a veteran, I can say that most people can only maintain a high degree of preparedness or readiness for a short period of time. The best time to attack is either before or after this period of advanced readiness and weather and logistics didn't seem to allow an attack before the period. So, if they can manage ally and public expectations during the delay, waiting until Russia gets complacent and starts thinking it was a bluff can help catch them off guard. Even better, hitting in one spot with a modest attack and waiting for a couple days while Russia thinks 'oh, this is it,' then hitting with a bigger attack in a different target could further exploit the Russian mindset. Let's hope that is what's happening. Because regardless of how this is communicated, it IS a crucial moment in the war.

It will come down to whether or not Ukraine can break through Russian defenses at either Luhansk or Donetsk as these are the two regions Russia has had control over since the 2015 uprisings by Russian-backed separatists, which as a result have become the most heavily fortified. Any breakthroughs by Ukraine in these regions would spell doom for Russia, added to this Ukraine has started taking back land in Bakhmut and if Russia loses that land it is game over think of all the losses they took trying to take the city and now they lose it altogether, it would be catastrophic. I think so long as Ukraine makes a breakthrough in Luhansk or Donetsk and retakes Bakhmut their counter-offensive will lead to major ground retaken, and will pose a major crisis for Russia.

We are about adopt the newer F-35 Joint strike fighter as our main airforce plane. This will replace the ageing F-16s which dispite many modifications are starting to show their age. I cant say for sure, but along with the Lepoad 1 tanks that we have also agreed on giving Ukraine, it seems like a way of getting rid of older military hardware that is starting to be some what dated - along with helping Ukraine.

@zenzull

Ukrainian viewer here. F-16 most valuable as weapon carrier, such as rockets, bombs etc. choosing F-16 or nothing (we don’t producing fighter aircraft yet, and we got losses) the right option is obvious. F-16s don’t necessary need to directly fight russian aircraft, but help hold them back from our borders. I guess it’s hard to overestimate a value of a fighter with a vast amount of weapons, perfectly integrated with all reconnaissance and anti-aircraft systems, capable of the direct combat support… and many other advantages. Hell yeah, this jets will be a game changers, especially considering that russians already proved that their weapons is a soviet trash, and western weapons is highly capable. P.S. I want to say my best regards and endless gratitude to your country and it’s people for helping us to survive this war.
