UAF really targeting RU artillery – 40 destroyed/captured yesterday alone!
Even if those numbers are inflated that’s still good going.
The fact that Ukraine is putting their precious aircraft at risk by targeting artillery, targets that absolutely will have air defense near them and will be placed well behind the front line, therefore necessitating a deeper, more risky strike suggests 2 things:
1: The promise of Mig-29’s and possibly F16’s from the West is already giving Ukraine more operational freedom as they have more air assets inbound to replace their no doubt very very tired and battered existing fleet.
2: The counter offensive is close, very close. Big preemptive air strikes on Artillery positions is textbook ‘what you do just before a big push’
Of course Ukraine have repeatedly shown that they march entirely to beat of their own drum and made me look like an idiot with my predictions so we’ll see.
