#1 Whether they can keep up with the maintenance or not they are at least trying. Alot more than can be said about the US coalition. Why are ppl. Trying to take away from what the Russians are doing? Sorry

#6 Russians have a real world goal in mind (approve or disapprove). USA is guided by the smell of unicorn farts.

#8 Well, they dropped ordnance 118 times. What ever was at the receiving end was, by Russian definition, a target.

#9 Well said P2K! And the tempo implies (to me at least) that they have a list of objectives and specific goals to achieve by some point in time. Then we will see if they ratchet back (my guess) and what they do (and where it is done) with the maintenance needy hardware. Doubtful they will ride them hard and put them away wet.

#10 Well, as long as an active Iranian agent is a key member of the POTUS staff, we'll never do anything significant in this fight.

It is all ceremonial stuff, they might as well iron military creases on the bombs and shine the brass on the fuses.
