Ignoring the NATO doctrine that air superiority is essential for combined arms, not giving them air planes, give too little too late, it is cynical to say Ukrainians can't fight combined arms.
If the US Army were in the same situation, without air superiority, they would get the same slow results

[justice]

The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can't be attacked on their homeland is baffling

[wordscapes]

This war will not end without negotiation.

[SavageJunky]

SPOILER: Tons of Ruzzian bot in the comment section trying to convince themselves Ruazzis is not losing the war 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[and]

Difficult to advance without air power.

[benwindbag]

Ukraine needs something much more powerful than measly drones: Cruise missiles.

[seannicholson]

Funny how the guy doesn't even mention the fact that minefields are a huge delay for the offensive
If your going to opinions make sure it's the full scope of info🙄🙄

Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping was never shocked or disgusted about Russian war crimes.
- Instead, he helped them with spare parts and dual-use equipments, and cheered for Putin during the invasion.

Those attack helicopters wouldn't be so much of a threat if Ukraine had been provided training for F16s when they first asked for it. They would be well and truly operating them by now.

Unbelievable!! "Keep grinding, in hope that Russian morale wanes off!" - - - whaaat? Basically he's say they must keep moving forward and being killed, and hope for some miracle!! 🙆‍♂️ 🙆‍♂️ 🙆‍♂️ 🙆‍♂️
Do these people even hear themselves???!!!! 🙆‍♂️ 🙆‍♂️ 🙆‍♂️

[Fantomas-djxq]

The drone only hit a non-residential building 😅 No point in even discussing it

[cpboba]

Such a useless war, so much suffering. Our leaders have failed us big time.

[ronaldforkings]

If general Patton was there he would support air serport

"Military expert explains Ukraine’s drone assaults on Russian-held territory" so let's "Convince It Forward" with Slava BOHU

[genepozniak]

What the hell are Major Lyons's qualifications?! He's a major pretending to be qualified to talk about big strategic and political issues, which he's WRONG about. The obvious reason Ukraine took credit for the drone strike is to try to dissuade Russia from bombing civilians in underprotected cities like Odessa. "Showing progress on the counteroffensive" had nothing to do with it. The Kiev govt has not shown itself to be that foolish.

"I DONT NEED AMMO I NEED A RIDE!!! HURRY!!!!" - Vladimir Putin

[janinewetzler]

Yeah, this isn't a full picture at all, and he is really discrediting Ukraine's military capabilities when he says they cannot co-ordinate...THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR OVER A YEAR, NOW!!! Give them fighters or combat helicopters!!

[TheNeverposts]

i.e.: it's going terribly.
at least they're being honest about it though, that's refreshing.

[danlee]

Stop supplying military equipment to Ukraine and promote peace talks with Russia.

[oldguy]

I am not a military expert, but, obviously, neither is your major. He wants Ukraine to use combined arms, but we have not provided any air assets (F16s) to do so.
