Let's face the fucking facts and call things by their proper names.
Moksha has been stepping up its air offensive for a month and a half, step by step, using just a couple of dozen of its vultures to do so.
Laughs and laughs and laughs, but getting an FAB in your fucking face isn't a moped, a grad, or even a 152mm. It's fucked up. It's minus a foothold, minus several pieces of equipment, minus a fuel or ammunition depot.
And they have been fucking with us for a month and a half with impunity, little by little increasing the geography and intensity of the strikes(
Why? Because our air defense already has no missiles, no launchers, no trained people. It was an epic fight, and we blew it - for completely objective reasons. And yes, the Soviets did everything they could, and more.
Even though they were Ukrainian SAMs - but they are no gods either.
And now we are about to enter the endgame, in which we are simply flattened.
