Putin was holding back the entire time
-
the only rational explanation for his restraint was that he wanted to minimize civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure
-
this desire to minimize collateral damage makes Putin a better man than all of the Western commanders who indiscriminately carpet bombed their enemies in virtually every major conflict since WW2
-
at this point, if Western media are speaking, they’re lying
-
everyone on this board who thought the Ukraine was winning this war, or that Russia was somehow outmatched, is a fucking retard

You're deluded if you think Russia are about to win.
Their advance is dead and the best they can hope for this year is that they don't lose any more ground. The technological superiority of NATO weapons systems has once again been demonstrated in a decisive fashion, and Russia is staring down the barrel of its eternal nightmare; A technologically superior hostile force directly on its flat, open western border - a scenario that has played out 3 times in two centuries, and resulted in great devastation for Russia each time.
Russia will have to keep the conflict going for years if it wants to win, or it will have to sign a peace treaty and try again in a decade or two.
[EDIT] lol @ downvotes. I can't wait to quote this post next year.
lol
You don't understand much about weapons, do you?
These downvotes are hilarious.
People here are desperate to root for Russia just because they hate globohomo, and refuse to see what is abundantly clear, just because they don't want to see it.
Yes! It is weird how they think Russian weapons are somehow superior. I remember how these people used to have boners preaching the superiority of the Russian weapons years ago. Then peddle the excuse when these weapons failed that it was either "monkey models" or bad training of the army who employed them. Now we now that they all suck. The best evidence until 2022 was when Russia attacked Israel, and both sides fought for a brief period of time in the 70s. Russia failed miserably then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rimon_20
And remember that the Mirage IIIs were interceptors, not designed for dogfights(which the Israelis somehow managed to do and be very successful at it), while the MiG-21 was very agile.
I am sure that if Ukraine gets even the early Abrams model that destroyed the Iraqi T-72 brigade, they will wipe the floor with the rusted carcass of the T-72/80/90 they will destroy.
