Source? I thought they only left yesterday at the earliest.

I'm not sure where I read it, I'm sure I saw a report of a C-17 travelling to Poland and it was said the missile systems were on board. Must have been Tuesday (or maybe Wednesday).

If I see it again I'll post up a link.

This war is unique in many ways
That may well happen.... but still you have to compare apples to apples. If something was excused before and is not now... a reason must be given for why that changed. And the reason must be able to stand up to critical scrutiny.... otherwise it's just religious belief speaking which is especially illegitimate if there is a refusal to admit to the religion involved.

Everyone at this point instead of comparing this war to previous wars of similar nature are exclusively comparing it to wars Russia specifically fought in recent history.... or to peace conditions. This is dishonest.

And then there is this report if UN to be trusted.
I don't believe anyone implicitly at this point.

I am not saying anything specifically is actually happening but there are many ways to blow up a building and only some need bombers or jets.

Has this been reported? Another Russian high ranking officer killed.

Translation:
The Russian occupiers continue to lose their officers in the war against Ukraine. The Armed Forces managed to eliminate Major General Andriy Kolesnikov, the commander of the Eastern Military District.
Don't read to much into this, Generals are a dime a dozen, Even our own military under the ANC now has;

that translates into one general, admiral or equivalent official for every 184 members of the SANDF and DoD, which does seem a little over the top.

The Air Force has 27 general officers for 11 squadrons and one for every 367 in other ranks, which again seems high, particularly when considering how few aircraft some squadrons have on strength, let alone how many the present funding levels allow them to fly.
The Navy has 17 admirals for just 12 ships and one for every 589 in other ranks, which does seem rather over the top. But again we must remember that some command and infrastructure posts should be filled by a flag officer almost regardless of the number of ships in the fleet, and one can quite easily argue for 12 flag officer posts for the Navy – which number would not (or should not) change even if the Navy reached an envisaged fleet strength of 24 ships.
most ships in dry dock or disrepair state.

Though African nations tend to be different, everyone wants to be a chief.

Insanely intense.

The tanks fired wildly into the open field, rounds fell short of where they fired the missile from, unless he spotted them making a run for the forest?

The missile comes from outside the left of the video so the operator is a long way from where the tank was shelling (and probably withdrawing backwards even further). That tank would have been completely unsighted and just shooting to make it look like they were doing something, imo.

Still of the opinion that Putin is keeping Russia's full military capability under wraps and he is just toying with Ukraine up to this point. Why reveal your hand early just to win small when you can keep the bluff going for when and if you really need it later?

Morbid version? He will wait until the Ukrainians have gathered all of their full strength together with whatever volunteers they can muster and he will hit them all at once and break them completely.

And in the process lose countless soldiers and equipment? That seems a bit brain dead.
