Ukrainian resistance was stronger than Putin believed. Russian troops are demoralized and questioning why they are attacking their Ukrainian brothers.
Why Russia is having a difficult time in Ukraine, aka Where's the air force?

your bizarre fixation on Trump is not understandable.......particularly since the "evidence" for your claims have all been tracked to Hilliary's 2016 presidential campaign........why don't you instead look at Biden sitting back and watching the invasion unfold without doing anything......
Could it possibly be that the Russians have a different doctrine when it comes to the use of their air force than Western nations do?
Air superiority is both an offensive and defensive strategy. No one wants to be bombed by their opponent.
Agreed. Supplies from friendly nations adjacent to Ukraine would be easily accomplished than trying to fly or ship supplies to Afghanistan.
Destroying the planes usually means destroying airports and runways as well. They made need those later to deliver supplies and personnel quickly.
They might be prioritizing the fuel and food trucks. Tanks are dangerous and difficult to attack but are effectively neutralized if out of gas. Hunger is demoralizing to soldiers.
A Javelin has a range of 1.6 miles. Newer versions have a 2.5 mile range. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin
Well color us shocked. Not. lol
The Russians can target the aircraft on the ramp and avoid hitting the runway. It appears the Ukrainian air defense capability is stronger than the Russians believed.

Russian tourists, probably sex parties, were Thailand's #1 tourist industry.

Ukraine invasion: crashing Russian rouble, sanctions deal blow to Thailand bid to revive tourism
- Money-transfer difficulties and flight cancellations following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have shaken Thai tour operators
- Russians were the largest group of visitors to the kingdom in January and some 1.5 million of them came in 2019 and spent US$3.3 billion
They could but in real life the runways usually end up damaged as well.
Ah, so that explains (besides his obviously-dwindling mental and moral facilities) why Tommy boy enjoys "smoking" Putin's "cigar."

I mentioned that in another thread. Hitting fuel and supply trucks first would cripple the whole convoy.
Funny how the news only shows what the Russians are hitting. Showing how hard the Ukrainians are
resisting must be bad publicity. Sure wouldn't want to give the Ukrainians something to raise their spirits
It depends upon the competency of the Russian Army...which isn't very impressive at the moment.
Also, planes only need to be damaged, not destroyed, to take them out of action. Note that most of their aircraft are 1) Russian...and the Russians aren't selling them parts and 2) many are mothballed.

Which explains why the convoy is stalled.I mentioned that in another thread. Hitting fuel and supply trucks first would cripple the whole convoy.

Not funny or strange; the Russian targets are cities and civilians. Reporters are mainly in the cities, not accompanying a Ukrainian Javelin team to blow up a fuel truck.
There's also the aspect of not revealing Ukrainian positions like Geraldo Rivera.
Another reason they might not be using aircraft to their advantage is fearing that they'll be shot down. Like two were the other day.

I don't know what news you watch (but we can guess lol), but NBC Nightly News has been showing destroyed Russian equipment, as well as prisoners taken. They appear to be giving equal time to both sides in the conflict as far as showing damage and casualties.
I hope we give them some attack drones too.

Was it me?
they know china and russia are cooperating.
they're on their side, lying to the american people.
but of course, this tactic will fail.
jesus hates the new world order.
You're guess would be wrong. I rarely watch the news. The GF turns off the Nightly News after the local news goes off.
Stingers are a great weapon. LOL
