Ukraine - Russia Conflict

I think they need more air defences to cover the offensive.

Something well within the capabilities of Ukraine.
And how did they detonate it under water and where were they at the time? RF signals don't travel under water, so you're saying an antennae was sticking up without the Russians noticing that either, as well as not noticing several tons of explosive being dragged across the Dnipro and put there in the first place. And they didn't have any EW jamming....
 
The first objective would always be neutralisation of enemy air defences and airpower, then C4ISR assets etc. Only after that would a land offensive begin. Ukraine doesn't have the luxury of significant airpower though.
Some good videos of destruction of Russian assets:

If ypu managed to do that things initially, you don't need to bring tanks during army mobilisation, your enemy might already crippled to stone age by that time.
 
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.
Are you saying that Russia still has some secret weapons and is unwilling to use them on the battlefield?😂😂😂😂

Nah, you'll still need tanks because you won't necessarily be able to see every enemy vehicle, nor will airpower spot ever machinegun nest. You don't want to be charging unsupported infantry into MG fire.
Su-57 & T-14 Armata just to name few.
They're about as battle-ready as X-wing fighters and rocking horse shit.
Why do you say that?
Because India bought a lot of cheap oil from Russia and paid them with useless coin that they can only spend in India.
 
Russian Armed Force take out an abandoned Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tank using Lancet Loitering munition.


As per deputy defence min of Ukraine Russia is now on active defence mode in Zaporizhzhia . “active defense” refers to a system of defensive actions in which the defender does not go beyond the general operational task and retains the initiative and freedom of action. The main task of such a defense is to exhaust large groups of the enemy through active maneuvering of forces while detecting the direction of his attack. Distract , Divert , Delay is principle . There by defender buy time to take action without knee jerk reaction .


AT-2 anti-tank mines which can be delivered by artillery rockets

From a Russian channel -

Another panorama of the defeated column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a cemetery of Western-made armored vehicles. At least three M2A2 ODS Bradleys were completely burned out and even theoretically could not be evacuated to the rear for repairs.

- As the Military Informant channel writes, without the presence of mine trawls and demining installations (UR), such trips to minefields will end the same way. However, neither one nor the other is a panacea today

- The main problem of SD is the relatively small width and depth of the passage, insufficient to form a safe corridor for the passage of armored vehicles. It is typical for both the Soviet UR-77 and Western models, like the M58 MICLIC.

- At the same time, the disadvantage of many mine trawls is their impressive mass, which can reach as much as almost 8 tons. This greatly reduces the speed of the tanks and their maneuverability, as a result of which the entire column is forced to move much more slowly and become an easier target for aircraft, artillery and anti-tank systems.

- So the issue of overcoming minefields during an offensive is very relevant today both for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and for any even the most advanced other armies in the world. At the moment, virtually no one has effective means of demining.
 
Lol! Which is good right. Russia can't use that money.
Yes, but @LX1111's point was that India has benefited the most from this war and that's probably true.

What you could do with is maybe low hovering drones connected by a metal cable that the drag over minefields.
