I'm sure it has been discussed, but why isn't Ukraine going on offense and attacking this dumb 40 mile Russian convoy? They've been stalled for three days or so? Ukraine has some aircrafts and drones, why aren't they using them now? This is really confusing to me.

I watched a clip on CNN of the former deputy general of NATO talking to Christiane Amanpour and he expressed the same sentiment; he was confused what they were waiting for. 

Maybe they expect the Russians to do an about-face as a result of all these crippling sanctions being thrown at them. 

Obviously that's not the reason. But wouldn't it be ridiculous if it was actually was?

It's really strange. I have seen military analysts say competent militaries never travel so closely like that because it makes them sitting ducks. 


JP--its less than 20 miles from Kyiv, so I would assume it's all the way in Ukraine?

Yeah really. That convoy is a sitting duck. Look at this photo from two days ago. You can bomb the hell out of them.

I’ve tried to wrap my head around this as a strategic position.  

They are all bogged down and drinking huge amounts of fuel and manpower, who cannot get further supplies without major disruption of the already weakened supply chain.  

There has been incentive for Ukraine citizens to steal Russian tanks, even going as far as saying Ukrainians would not have to claim them on their taxes.  

If they started mobilizing again, I bet they would get taken out, but them being bogged down only hurts Putin’s resources.  

Hell, in the end, they might very well seize every one of these if the morale of the Russian soldiers degrades much more.

maybe they dont have bombs or enough bombs and don't want to shake that hornet nest until they are sure they can obliterate the majority of the tanks?

I was curious about the not claiming a tank on taxes story....why would that need to be stated?  Like not claiming something that you wouldn't claim anyway is some sort of motivation? Why would a Ukranian see that and think "holy shit let's go steal some tanks...we don't have to claim them"?

I just look at a shot like this and see an opportunity to strike without the risk of civilian casualties (assuming there's no nearby homes that we can't see in the picture). I don't know what the Ukrainians expect to do when this convoy reaches Kyiv. Engage with them on the ground? Maybe...but I don't like their chances.

This is my presumption.  They are equipped with Javelin primarily,  which have a range of about a mile and half.  So my guess is that they are waiting for them to get closer to Kyiv where you have better cover. With a javelin,  you can immediately go for cover after shooting, unlike the dragon.

That could be but they were engaging Russia in the sky a week ago weren't they? I dunno. Their capital has been surrounded for sometime now and they seem content to just let the Russians do as they please. But they could have something planned that none of us expect.

Well he's wearing a Stars and Bars shirt in the photo.  Those aren't too common among ANTIFA.

Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe.  It's soil is very fertile, especially compared to the barren plains of Russia.  Remember that the Soviets forcibly took food every harvest, back to Russia and starved up to 10MM Ukrainians.

True, but I was told that anyone claiming to be anti-fascist is part of “ANTIFA”, so I just wanted to be sure
