Interesting video posted by the Ukrainian General Staff that reportedly shows a strike on a Russian Pantsir-S air defense system. It appears a top-attack munition was employed.

Good thread by Sergey. The Russian military has demonstrated a number of weaknesses (mostly vis-a-vis NATO members), but I don't think any country could successfully occupy all of Ukraine, especially with significant arms and intelligence support from NATO.

A thought-provoking article by @PhillipsPOBrien about how we overstated Russia's great power capabilities: https://t.co/KkMyVvPKLV. Let me disagree with some of the key arguments for the sake of the argument.

There was a clear disconnect between the unrealistic political goals Putin assigned and the military capabilities Russia dedicated to this war. That says more about the utility of military force than about Russia' status as a great power. 2/

The irony is that Russian officials watched the US invasion of Iraq and correctly thought it was crazy. Then Putin decided to repeat many of the same mistakes, because he bizarrely thought there would be minimal resistance from Ukrainians. 3/
