Russian Operations in Ukraine: Week 4
March 25, 2022March 23, 2022 (The New Atlas) - In this update on Russian operations in Ukraine at week 4: the US Department of Defense itself admits Russia’s combat power allotted to Ukraine is still around 90%.
Russia uses its hypersonic missiles for the first time. We compare Russia’s operations in Ukraine to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 by the numbers.
US propaganda continues to prepare the ground for a conflict with China, which will almost certainly follow on the heels of the current conflict in Ukraine.
