    I wish we would just go ahead and give ATACMs. It would certainly speed things up.

      I’m following the combat activities (the actual combat, not high level strategic stuff). It’s all mines, mines, mines and then some trench warfare.

      No amount of ATACMS can do anything about that. You still have to advance slowly, figure out where the mines are, clean them up or move around them and then take the trenches.

      Drones can do a whole lot more good for a whole lot less.

          /r/combatfootage on reddit. But you can also do it on twitter by following OSINT accounts (and you can combine the two). I just couldn’t deal with the constant twitter BS anymore. They both mostly have “second hand” sources. First hand are telegram accounts, but I rather receive it filtered and sorted by votes, so I never went that far.

            There’s also a few Lemmy communities but they either are completely Ukrainian or have very little post activity compared to Combatfootage.

      I think that once the F16 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field. I assume we are giving them jdams so they will be capable of striking hundreds of miles into occupied territory.
