Agree with Justin's critiques and that Buk-M1 has probably been the most important AD system. I also think this mistakes Russia's view of airpower. As part of GPV-2020, the Navy and VVS were the priority while the Ground Forces received the least funding (21% to 13% of the total)

@Justin_Br0nk:
Some good stuff here, but a few notable errors:
Ukraine had several brigades of S-300PS/PT and S-300V1 when the invasion began, plus SA-11s (which got most Russian jet losses), some SA-15 and plenty of SA-8s. They didn't start with MANPADS and then get S-300 from Slovakia (1/3) https://t.co/1Y4L59NVFs

I don't think we have conclusive evidence that Russian aircraft are operating by themselves. Most videos show them operating in pairs, and a 5-second video showing one Su-25 flying at low altitude doesn't mean there isn't a 2nd aircraft (or maybe only the 2nd was videotaped).

I'm going to keep harping on this. We have imperfect data from this conflict and there are often multiple explanations why we might see something in a video (e.g. only one aircraft). It is important to not aver that one of those explanations is right without more information.

@FiredStaffer What data? Ukraine had S-300 before the war began, and this article suggests that wasn't the case. The number of combat aviation is massively inflated as well.

@WarInUkraineYet You are correct. Ukraine is about 15km away from that road.

@LipciG I never said it was. It's in the process of being liberated right now. The city mostly belongs to Ukrainians but there are Russians in one direction and in the outskirts.

… то, что о ней говорят на Донбассе. Не припомню, чтобы в 14 году части ВС РФ имитировали бы участие в боях. А сейчас это есть и случай не единичный... сейчас это фотоотчетные войска. Бардака, очковтирательства и безответственности стало гораздо больше.

Яровая, 8:00
очень шумно со всех сторон, но пока прилетов не было, задымленность чуть меньше.
