This is why Ukraine needs those F16s. These Russian bastards need a little competition so as they don't get so cocky. pic.twitter.com/gSn4j8xmHo

This is a real bad omen for Ukraine. If the Russians have cracked the code and are able to fly old skool close air and strike missions then its gonna get beyond bad soon. I don't have know if the Russians have a reserve but if they do then the classic move would be to continue to press the Ukrainian lines and then have that reserve bust thru at a point of their liking and to have them plow straight thru to an objective, hold the line, refresh the force after they've been relieved and do it all over again. We could see tens of miles or more gobbled up in days instead of the hundreds of feet we're seeing now.
