The most important task for Ukraine and its allies now is to repel the Russian offensive expected in the spring, which will certainly be very strong and dangerous. The game is not only about stopping the Russians, but also about doing it with the lowest possible losses for yourself and the highest possible on the enemy side.
Let’s start with the cabaret. A Kamaz with a Pancyr anti-aircraft missile launcher was dragged into a large building of an educational center near the Ministry of Defense in Moscow. We are not kidding – a large crane was brought in, next to which the hoist with a basket for the police is completely hidden, and the launcher was painstakingly placed on the roof. In fact, they should have been hanging out there to make the terms of service bearable. I wonder if the spare rockets will take the lift. The idea is very corny for at least two reasons. Who would attack the Russian Ministry of Defense and how? And will such a launcher really help? If there was a false alarm and the rocket was fired, it would definitely hit a building, doing a lot of damage, as 3M313 Pancyr missiles do not have self-destruct. Asked about this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov referred the journalists to the Defense Ministry. The hovering anti-aircraft launcher in the center of Moscow even caused him some hilarity.

Repel the attack
Lloyd Austin after Ramstein-8 meeting he said bluntly that the Ukrainians should not take offensive action now. Now we should expect a full-scale Russian offensive, not what one TV channel calls an “escalated attack”. It is “the advance of large military forces on enemy positions along the entire front or over a greater part of it in order to break through defences, smash enemy forces and achieve significant territorial gains”.
