Dude, Donbas did have conscription, but as always you know all the facts.

 

BRRRRRRRRRRT

 

I read up on A-10 and its suitability to the Ukraine war. The conclusion was - very unsuitable.

 

With the forced Russian conscription in the occupied regions -- there are only women left.

 

well ya, when has conscription ever been voluntary during war times? There is civil war happening over there, but as far as you are concerned it’s all Putin.

 

Unless you have clear air supremacy and the opponent has limited SAM capability --- then it is probably unsuitable. On the other hand -- things are going so badly for Russia they are sending WW2 tanks and other ancient material to Ukraine.

 

It is not a civil war going on in Ukraine. There is a Russian invasion going on in Ukraine -- where the Russians are committing loads of war crimes. Including rounding up school children & old men and forcing them to be cannon fodder against their will to attack their own country.

 

You are incredibly misinformed. Perhaps jump on a plane, then a train and perhaps a bus and get your ass to Donbas and speak to the people. They don’t want the new Ukraine’s rule to be shoved down their throats. Do they want war? No. But sometimes war is the only way to sort things out.
