They can't attack yet. Russia's biggest headache has been that they do not control the air space, leaving the TB/2 drones to either slaughter directly or target other assets in the slaughter of Russian assets.

But, Ukraine does not control the air space either! Russia, if they go defensive gains all the advantages Ukraine currently holds.

Ukraine MUST control the sky are they are as dead as the Russians.

But if Ukraine can do that. They will have the power to seek payback. Not mere reparations sir, out and out payback. I believe they will. I can not conceive of any Ukrainian who could be so saintly as to resist. This is when the naive West will see that there are no such things as "good guys" and "bad guys", only the aggrieved and the aggressors.

Cracking that Naivete may cost Ukraine a lot of support. I hope not. I hold no such naivete. Russia is in the wrong here as plain as day, but Ukraine must be able to do better than mere payback. I just have no idea how they can possibly do it. I know that I could not, I would become a monster, so I can not judge.

Great article though. This is information I have been searching for, for quite some time.
