Oh wow, this could be something.
The French navy has intercepted a Russian cargo ship in the English Channel that was bound for Saint Petersburg, the BBC has reported.
French officials told the broadcaster that the ship was intercepted according to with new European Union sanctions imposed on Russian entities and individuals after Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine.
The ship, named Baltic Leader, has been redirected to a port in Boulogne-Sur-Mer, the BBC added.
The 22-year-old vessel was scheduled to reach St Petersburg on 3 March, according to a cargo ship tracking website.

I cannot figure out why the Russians haven't been able to gain air superiority over the Ukraine, they have such a clear advantage in tech and numbers. The only thing I can think of here is that the capabilities of modern surface to air weapons systems has reached a point where it's managed to blunt the effectiveness of air assets.

Regardless of how this war turns out it's going to force a lot of defense analysts to rethink traditional tactical doctrines. Which makes sense when you consider the fact that this is the first close to peer conflict since the Iran vs Iraq war.

I got sucked so far down into a Wikipedia hole about the Iran vs. Iraq war a while back. It was the closest thing we had to a full scale modern war between two relatively even sides, I found it fascinating from a perspective of "what if we had another world war without nukes coming into play".

It's interesting to study but you have to be careful about what conclusions get drawn from it because neither side was competent in their management of the war or equipment they used. Saddam's military's training was almost purely ideological since he was a believer in the idea that you were either born a warrior or not so the most important thing was ideology and technology. Which made his material and technological advantage moot.

I mean the Iraqis essentially wasted their armor divisions First Battle of Khorramshahr by sending them into the city without infantry support. Plus neither side had the infrastructure to sustain any sort of offensive which is why every time a breakthrough occured they eventually bogged down and turned into a slugfest.

Ukraine has plenty of SAMs. And then there's man portable systems you have to take into account:

Russia is quickly proving they're a true paper tiger. Everything was on paper and they're not ready or capable of fighting a true war. Putin made a pretty big mistake.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. These are hundred million dollar or more fighters and a stinger costs 120,000 dollars and can be mass produced. Which means you risk losing extremely expensive assets to an infantry dude with shoulder launcher every time you take to the air. The Russians are going to have the same problem if they try and move vehicles into Kyiv. The NLAW system is going to make their very expensive vehicles into wreckage and they have to worry about them being in any window they pass because they can be fired from enclosed spaces.

It would be dangerous for the world to start underestimating Russia at this point. Assuming that at least some of the rumors are true, Russia still has roughly half of the military they deployed on the border in reserve, they seem to have sent their most inexperienced soldiers in first, and it sounds like heavier artillery is starting to reach the front lines.

Even if we ignore the rumor that Russia only really had enough equipment and funding to support about 10 days of combat, that just means that in the next week or so we'll be dealing with a more aggressive, more desperate Russia that's continuing their offensive with bigger weapons and better soldiers.

We're starting to enter into the period where I wouldn't be shocked if the Russian military starts committing bigger and bolder war crimes or possibly even leveling a city to try and force capitulation simply because they're running out of time.

Yeah that's what makes them so fucking dangerous to vehicles. You always see dudes firing RPGs in movies in small spaces but that will get you and anyone around you killed in real life.
These things don't have that problem.

I'm not sure how much I believe that these are inexperienced troops. The VDV is one of Russia's highest regarded and most well trained units and they have been throwing them into awful situations in hopes of seizing any one of the airfields around Kyiv. They really cannot afford to keep doing that.

The Russians are also leaving their support columns mostly undefended which is leading to even worse logistical problems for them.

It would, but I'm having trouble seeing how all of this resolves differently. I can't see Putin willingly withdrawing his forces and I can't see him getting overthrown or the military collectively defecting from his government. He has few options other than to try and quickly force a ceasefire and if you can't do that by crippling Ukraine's military his only other option is MAD.

Even if Russia is defeated and cuts an unfavorable treaty, Putin isn't going to let it get that far unless he can claim some kind of victory in the process. He'll want to frame it as some form of mission accomplished.

My fear is that the number of things that he can claim victory over is rapidly shrinking without the use of larger munitions and casualties.

Looking like a poorly trained, poorly supplied, low morale fighting force.
Their strategy was to walk into Ukraine and sit there and wait for the world to force them out. They were not expecting this much resistance at all.
I am a little worried that they will start shelling indiscriminately claiming that they can't tell the difference between soldiers and civilians because all of the civilians are armed and actively fighting against the invaders.

I didn't know much of anything about the people of Ukraine, but I now have the utmost respect for them.

Thousands of citizens staying in place to defend their country. I've seen a picture of a guy standing in front of a line of Russian tanks and other vehicles. I saw another video of a number of citizens standing in the way of and around a tank to stop its movement. Their president choosing to stay and fight.

Man... Major props to them.
