All that vital supplies being delayed for a couple of days could have made the difference. But russia needs to do russia things. Sadly and yet luckily.

      Ukraine cannot defeat Russia now, but victory by 2025 is possible with increased Western support, according to retired British General Richard Barrons, who previously commanded the Kingdom's Joint Forces.
      "The current Ukrainian counter-offensive will not dislodge Russia - although no one expected it. It is also unlikely to halve the area of ​​occupation before the onset of winter, which could be one of the most optimistic goals," Barrons writes in a column for the Financial Times.
      He calls the progress of the AFU in the south "modest" and writes that it is about eight miles (12 kilometers). Before reaching the sea, there was still 55 miles (88 kilometers) left to go through three lines of defense (here, probably, the general indicated the path in a straight line to the nearest point on the Sea of ​​Azov).

Not saying this particular analysis isn’t accurate, in fact it sounds like one of the better ones, but the headline reminded me I wanted to make this point.. Again, I’m pro Ukraine, I’d just encourage the editors to think about just how often they’ve set up interviews that orient around the strength of Ukraine and/or the weakness of Russia. In fact has there ever been anything else here? A little more nuance perhaps?

      The one thing he claims is probably not so correct, which is that the F-16s will be a game changer. Any of the knowledgeable military experts who specialize in air combat are warning against believing that they will be the golden ticket to Ukrainian victory. Several factors at play, first being it is highly contested airspace bristling with MANPADs and SAM systems, not to mention hostile aircraft so it is still a very high-risk environment. Also, the F-16 requires a well maintained runway as the air scoop is below the fuselage which means that rough runways that some aircraft can accommodate are not possible with the F-16, and the runways *must* be kept clean or the engine will Hoover up debris and be destroyed. The airfields where those will potentially be stationed will already have targeting information loaded into Russian missiles. I’m very happy that Ukraine will be equipped with them, but they won’t break things open, their main role will be to provide good support for ground forces, with occasional long range strikes at very high value targets when the risk/reward is favourable.
      I recommend watching the Ward Carrol channel, especially his interviews with Justin Bronk who is an internationally renowned expert on modern warfare and weapons systems, the clarity and sobriety of his evaluations are really well worth spending time listening to.

      Most long reports in American media is not by reporters. It is by "editorialists". People who come in with an specific agenda and the person being interviewed is either supposed to reinforce the agenda or at least follow the script. If the interviewee starts to go "off script" they get yelled down.

What he is, is what we call on this side of the pond an effective military educator and communicator. He is, in the time available, without using jargon or devolving into historical cliches and hyperbolic language, as so many military men of a certain age (particularly British military men) are wont to do, make understood to the layman the broader strokes of a complex situation.
      Think about it. How are you qualified to judge his expertise in logistics and strategy? But he sure made you feel like an expert, even for a moment. (That said, he didn't really much speak to logistics and strategy at all, so it really is quite hard to judge his subject matter expertise, isn't it?)
