Crazy times. The Ukrainians are doing a good job of holding them up
The Russians are fighting a 1970s era war against a smaller Ukrainian force fighting a 2000s era war.
Deep strike tactics with minimal precision weapons followed by armoured invasion along main roads not cross country will struggle against a determined Ukrainian force with modern anti tank weapons. The Russians haven’t even achieved air dominance in the 2 days and they’ve resorted to launching non precision strikes as they likely run short of precision Munitions. Russia will make gains and control in a week or so but an insurgency will remain. Can see the Serbs looking at their situation after this.
