What causes the failure of the Russian air war in Ukraine?



One reason for the failure of Russian air combat in the Ukrainian conflict is found in the article below this text. At the beginning of the war, Russian Su-30 SM, Su-34, and Su-35S jet fighters made multiple air-to-air and -air-to-ground missions. 

And especially the attacks whose target was log-range radar-station and other high-priority targets. Russians made those attacks by using single aircraft. And then they didn't confirm was the target destroyed. Or was the radar just shut down for protecting it against anti-radar missiles? 

They might believe that the tank regiments take those targets in the hands of Russian troops very soon after the attack anyway. So the Russian pilots or some people in the command chain thought that the confirmation of the effect of the strike was somehow unnecessary. 

And then the radars were not destroyed and continued their operations. Another reason for the failure of air combat is probably between the chair and the dashboard. If those pilots didn't get enough practice for that kind of operation.

They cannot make their duty as they should. The fact is, at least these Su-34 and Su-35 planes are much better than MiG-29 and Su-27. But the problem is that there is the possibility that some of those Russian fighters were not what they should be. If the microchips or some other things were not properly working. That causes the accuracy of those missions decreases. 

Also, if Russians must end their ECM operations. That leaves aircraft without full protection. There is a possibility that Russian ECM systems caused problems for their own troop's communication. And that's why air vehicles are left without protection. When Russian troops didn't get information that the air defense was still operational they sent cargo helicopters and troop-transport aircraft to Ukraine's airfield. And those vehicles were easy targets even for older war machines. 

Did VDV troops that attacked Kyiv's airfield protected by combat helicopters?  

Or what those helicopters and landing heavy transport aircraft could do? They were easy targets for rapid-firing AA guns and shoulder-launched missiles. And if the heavy cargo aircraft is just touching the airfield when Javelin or Stinger hits it. That causes a situation where aircraft cannot make any maneuvers. 

Or what was their target? There are two airfields in Kyiv. Was predicted to target Antonov's airfield. Or was it Kyiv international? If the pilots attacked against wrong targets and then troop transporters started to land at that airfield whose defense was untouchable they were easy to destroy.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
