God bless technology sometimes. I remember when I was in grade 6 and google translate for French was a dumpster fire and I got an D using it.
Putin does what he thinks is good for them whether it succeeded or failed is a different thing but intention is present. He is not letting the problem to some future leader to solve it.
Agreed , its not a big deal. Should expect atleast 20-30% of your plans to go awry. In fact for the first few days of the war there will be lot of issues from communicating to collaborating effectively across the units, even supply line will not properly established. Its not as if every military keeps invading countries every now & then to put up a perfect fight.
This war has a lot of lessons to learned especially for India. Weapons & practice are no substitute to real experience. During war all those SOPs & drills will be as good as the men doing them. Instead of buying & hoarding expensive weapons we need to use them quite often & fine tune our fighting machine or get ready for such surprises especially given the battles in subcontinent are only fought for short duration. By the time military gets things right battle might already be over.
I haven't seen any government statementChina blames the Russian invasion on America blaming China for covid.
Lol. Leave it to Indian blogger to post BS for Russia. Russia doesn't have full control of Ukrainian airspace.

Moscow has so far failed to win full control of Ukraine’s airspace, despite advances across the country. U.S. officials say they believe the invasion has been more difficult, and slower, than the Kremlin envisioned, though that could change as Moscow adapts.

Russian forces shell Ukraine's No. 2 city and menace Kyiv
Russian forces are shelling Ukraine’s second-largest city, rocking a residential neighborhood, and closing in on the capital, Kyiv, in a 40-mile convoy of hundreds of tanks and other vehicles.apnews.com
I can't see the decision being reversed, the EU knows now that it's already become too dependent on Russian gas. Plus the sale of GFCH will be banned in 2030 anyway, so demand will drop off a cliff.No guarantee it will stay that way.
well it looks like @randomradio was correct. The last two days despite the heavy ambushes have been about logistical regrouping.

Russia's army is clearly an example of what happens when you fund big expensive toys at the cost of actual combat capability.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Russian airforce was operating below 50% right now.
