source: every military analysts in the western world after one week of combat.
Literally all of them were like “Wait, why do Ukraine still have planes and Russian planes don't fly over Ukraine-controlled land? Are you telling me they can't do SEAD? Holly cow!”, all of them.
They are prostitutes, not analysts; they will say whatever they're being paid to say.
This is Russia we're talking about, they could turn Ukraine and their shitty US sponsored Nazi army into a pile of ashes in a millisecond if that was their goal.
Of course, and instead they're sacrificing most of their newly modernized T-72 Obr. 2016, Su-35, Su-34 and a lot of VDV folks in a “feint” while making zero progress in the Donbas (their “actual goal”®) in the meantime…
I've always found the US war propaganda really cringe, but the Russian one don't even try to make a coherent story. Zero fuck given.
Based on what information exactly?
It's a war, any mainstream information is going to be 100% lies and propaganda.
