On the fifth day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, one of many unanswered questions is why Russia has launched a military campaign at huge cost with maximalist objectives, and then declined to use the vast majority of its fixed wing combat aircraft.

        Idk seems like they were mostly sticking to military targets… they can certainly get more indiscriminate and probably will as it drags on

            They aren’t just mowing down unarmed civilians when they block convoys. I’m not saying they’re they’re doing good I’m saying they can do much much worse and haven’t yet

            Which city specifically? Is there video evidence? I have seen plenty of videos of Russian troops, and they are completely ignoring civilians. You can see for yourself, on telegram search “intel slava z”. Also there is lots of evidence of Ukranian military setting up artillery next to schools, or hiding in civilian buildings. Clearly to provoke these images of Russian attacks on civilian targets. By the way, Russia is giving out food at this point, Ukrainians are looting and shooting each other.

      “Decisive air battle”, what a joker. Most Ukrainian planes, airports and air defenses were destroyed by standoff weapons in the first hours of the war. Russia has air superiority since multiple days now. Of couse thats ignoring the ghost of kiev, who shoots down a dozen Russian planes every day lmao.
