[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question is: will the US send more high tech weapons later? In 2025 for example?

No. Everything that's been sent is 90s era stuff that's been due to be decommissioned anyway. And it's been doing the job just fine. The US is definitely not revealing what it can really do. The problem in Ukraine is mines and artillery. And without air dominance, you can't just walk in and clear that. And Ukraine is not getting F-35s. But hopefully they get more longer range missiles - HIMARS, ATACMS, Storm Shadow. And more artillery shells

The mines are the problem [/quote]

Let me rephrase. Will they get weapons that will help them do more than just slowly bleeding out the Russians, as a PP said? [/quote]

What weapons?

They need artillery shells. And they need as many longer distance missiles as they can get so they can hit arms depots, command and control, fuel, ships - they got a good one this weekend, a missile carrier in Crimea

What they really need is air dominance. Air power would solve so many problems. But that's not going to happen. And so it's become a war of attrition. What they need is shells. They're firing about 6000 a day. But Russia is firing 20,000 shells a day [/quote]

So the setup of today is not going to change? Or will they get their shells? 
I am trying to understand what’s going to happen with that war[/quote]

We'd all like to know. It's been a catastrophe for both sides

It will be a long winter on the front lines. Trenches and shelling and freezing temperatures is no one's idea of a good time. There is so much shelling going on that it's hard for even NATO countries to keep up with supplies. This is an extremely violent war.

Then it will be mud for a month or two in the Spring. And then it goes intense again when the ground can accommodate armor.

It's a mess.

It's a very good lesson about how important air power is. Without air dominance, there's no magic bullet. It's going to be a grind for a good while longer. Russia gets wrecked, but so do the Ukrainians [/quote]

But the West is winning. Russia is weakened, what’s not to like. [/quote]
