All spilled milk. It wouldn't help without foreign crews for fighters. Ukraine should have been armed starting from 2014.
Ukraine may have to contract ex-NATO pilots to fly their new jets.
Yeah, but I wouldn't put much credence in both sides actually.
But a lot of promised tanks still haven't crossed into Ukraine yet, like a large number of Leopard 1s and Abrams.
Rafale doesn't have a dedicated SEAD weapon, but it will get one or two in the future.
The Russians are taking back these territories in counterattacks to prevent UAF from reclaiming abandoned or damaged vehicles.
they were but not complex weapon systems. Another problem is that if these weapons are taken to cleaners by russians then they will lose export market interest, why would some idiot buy f16 or patriots when they are proved to be nothing special when faced against equivalent cheaper systems ?
It's more accurate to say the Russians are unwilling to show off more SEAD/DEAD capabilities than what's they have already demonstrated until new capabilities are developed to compensate for the loss of what they already have used.
USD to INR = 82.....
makes trading easier. wouldnt it make more attractive to countries to buy from russia if ruble depreciates ?
some thing India should learn , that developing such small but unconventional capabilities will bring huge returns but also put enemy on the backfoot. India's race against pakistan to siachen is comparable but we need to get all the gear from outside is a big weakness. India needs to invest more in such capabilities.
By a lot. It has more than halved the prices of weapons. I'd say you can buy 12 T-90Ms for the cost of 1 Leopard 2A7.
You just mine the dam and blow it, there's nothing special about it.
In India, many of us become demolition experts during Diwali.
600 could be right. The UAF apparently has 300+ Leo 1s and 2s already. The rest presumably could be T types and other tanks.
This is gonna be a big offensive.
Except they have nothing to actually sell except weapons, and nobody wants their weapons anymore because they don't work very well.
Yeah, only if they magicians and Russia had zero security, sonar etc. on the dam. Far easier for Russia to do and as I pointed out, their river flanks were unenforced, so they flooded it to prevent a river assault.
Slow progress, but progress.

I dunno, believing Ukraine took tons of explosives from a river bank 1 mile away is special.
