Seems like they’ll tread lightly so we’ll have to wait and see.

It might be to obfuscate the thermal image from the air. Not sure about that one btw, just a guess.

The only Russian tactic that actually works is scorched earth.
Ukraine can’t free their cities if they are turned to rubble and corpses under Russian occupation first.

I don’t think so, but I’ll let you decide.

Russian military channels write that the tires on the planes are unfolded to hide from some satellites that can take a picture regardless of weather conditions. @informnapalm

They were already using them underneath, those do fine. Why not try them on top?
