The explanation from Ukraine a few days ago was to try and pull some of the Russians from the main front to ease pressure there 

 

Absolutely, anything to take the strain off the front line inside Ukraine is a great idea. Fingers crossed they can dig in a bit and really drain the resources intended for elsewhere, if it's worth the investment in manpower.

A big old mess that the Ruskies are going to find more and more difficult to tidy up the longer it goes on. Go on lads, wreak havoc!

I think it would be safe to say the " special military operation " is not quite going to plan . 

First F16s just arrived as well .

And where are these F16 planes based ?.

 

If I was Putin, I would be tracking them all the way home and tactically bunker busting each one as a statement of fly in our airspace and you'll pay the price.

And if you were Zelenskyy would you track all the Russian Sukhoi SU 57 jets and tactically bunker bust each one as a statement of fly in our airspace and you'll pay the price ?

Poor argument, Russia would have the tactical advantage of being able to intercept and destroy the missile and the launcher as the bases are a long way inside Russia.

 

Plus, if Ukraine fired the missiles they would need other countries to help. As they are not fire and forget, requiring realtime satellite data.

 

Which would effectively an act of war via whomever helped. Supplying munitions is a lot different than missiles, airplanes and the pilots unless it's the Swiss guard as they're technically a militia.

On Sunday Ukraine destroyed a Russian SU57 stealth fighter on the ground , on a military base deep inside Russia .
