Interesting, I just saw a report from the HT based on Russian MoD films and information showing the paratroopers kicking a**.

Hmm. I guess we will find out soon enough whether all these stories about Russians suffering from huge casualties and low morale are true, or whether the shoe is on the other foot.

Also, I find it interesting that you say "Russia has still not achieved air superiority", and yet we are told that without a passel of planes and pilots from the West, Ukraine is going to lose. That seems strange.
