Looks like smaller amounts of equipment will make it's way from the UK one way or another.

Anyone more clued up on this able to say if the massive convoy of Russian armour is a sitting duck for air/drone strikes?

Guessing conventional air strikes are a massive risk but drones could be useful? Does Ukraine have that kind of capability?

It would be - if the Russians didn't have some of the most capable mobile air defence systems in the world.

I suspect it hasn't been attacked because there's a protective bubble over it that would be suicide for UAF fighter-bomber aircrew.

The A10 is a superb aircraft, the US Army has had a running battle with the DoD to keep them. It does what it says on the tin. Ukraine could do with some Apache helicopters.

Send apache’s and the enemy wouldn’t even see you without drone surveillance which brings me onto…

this convoy will be monitored by the Russians at every angle, it’s probably more a trap than anything

they certainly are, loved seeing the fly around, really graceful but menacing at the same time. mobile air defence systems have also improved massively since they were introduced though.
 
Think we are giving the Russians a bit to much credit over this convoy mind. Have they done anything so far to lead you to believe it’s a trap?

It’s probably their shit logistics as usual. I’ve seen nowt like this ever, it’s the type of deployment you’d expect from a f***ing Boy Scouts club :lol:

They should prey to wehover they prey to that the Ukraine has a tiny air capability.

We got her mother out of Kiev about 10 days ago, just precautionary as I didn't think they would go as far as Kiev.

Everyone is okay so far but as you can imagine how you'd feel yourself if your city was being bombed. My MIL's friend said last night the Russians were bombing nearby for about an hour until the Ukrainians took them out.
