War in Ukraine: Is Russia changing tactics?

Retired Air Marshal Edward Stringer looks at whether the Russians have changed their tactics in recent days.

The Russian military has suffered a series of setbacks since their invasion of Ukraine began.

Very interesting weather forecast. “We have a gale of Russians coming in from the south, with a 20 percent chance of chemical weapons whizzing in from a northerly direction”

Sky are having too much fun with this. Got this Gary Neville Monday night football vibe

Everyone keeps commenting about how anti-tank/air missiles are not defensive weapons. He's speaking of them in the context of fighter jet comparison. Anti-Tank/Air missiles would be considered defensive compared to the offensive weapons (tanks, aircraft) that they are designed to defend against.

So I occupied a road, so I’ll colour the whole region as occupied. Please adjust your map to reflect the bits they drove down but then left behind, doesn’t mean that regions transited is still occupied.

The reason this war is not over is because Russia has been very careful to cause civilian casualties. And Ukraine is taking advantage of that

'It is a significant difference for NATO' - tell that to Bladimir

My heart is with the people of Ukraine.

[JorgePerez-jexu]

Russia is trying to close Ukraine off. That's the main reason.

[silversurfer]

The war could be very costly for the Russians, if it comes to urban warfare .
The Ukrainians are fighting for freedom and their land.
This should motivate these skilful fighters even more.

If I am President Selenskey I will transfer the seat of government to Lviv. Let NATO feel the heat of war once the war is very close to its border.

"Tactic" and "Russia" does not go along with eachother.

[elrond]

I tried to respond to a Russian just now and it wouldn't let me. SO I reloaded the page and his comment was taken off. I don't like censorship. Hey, youtube let us argue and talk things out...it is the way we learn and come to understanding one another.

Ukraine CANNOT surrender their Southern coast, they will be encircled by a belligerent with no defensible geography. If they lose their coastline Russia will finish the job sooner or later. I think this war could last a LOT longer than we would hope

[simontuffs]

My heart goes out to the 350, 000 people killed by NATO in Libya.

Much of the red Russian "controlled" areas in reality they only control a main road or two, that is why they are getting constantly ambushed and losing trucks and armor, for example that vast swath of land from the NE towards Kiev they actually only control two main roads plus a connection route between the two main ones, they do not even control most of the towns in that area.

"Heroic assumption" - what a 🔥!! 😆🤣

[alexandrekodentsov]

Thousands of opinions who really knows what's really going on...

[MrSeekerOfPeace]

To use an AA missile for anything other than its intended purpose would be a waste of the ordinance in question.

[spacecherry]

What do two British men know about “Russian Ambition” ? 😂😂😂😂

[NickWheeler]

I've not seen any progress in like a week and a half. This is the same map everyday and they keep saying they are moving farther in but no changes.

Any "analyst" who uses the phrase "mother Russia" is a propagandist not an objective analyst. I don't recall such a phrase used when the UK and US attacked Libya Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan.
