9. In this regard it would be interesting to see a study one day on kills per system set against numbers deployed; as well as for the lesser-used systems. Currently, I do not know of any baseline, but I suspect Stugna-P figures would be good.

arriving from military units to properly employ #Stugna-P. #Javelin, by contrast, was much easier to employ, requiring days to train crews, while personnel
could be trained to use #NLAW in hours"

RT @OrenCNN: The US is considering a program to dramatically expand the training of Ukrainian forces to as many as 2,500 per month, multiple officials tell CNN.

10. And in one case I heard of, Ukraine's fast air was flying from a relatively forward operating base. I'm Interested to know after the war how often their units would shift airbases and what kind of improvised airstrips were used.

@MikkoLaaksonen1:
21/x An important element of the training was working out the survivability of units through the ability to disperse aircraft from the main airfields to operational ones. (..) training of maintenance crews, to carry out pre-flight preparation of aircraft in field conditions

@vmanulik Yes as well as a few tanks captured. It's where the 6th thank regiment, 90 Guards Tank Division charged down one highway. Commander was killed and then they parked up all together in a huge bunch without dispersing, got hit and then turned and run.

@StephenShilcock Thanks. I will need some more time.

⚡️Two MiG-31K of the Russian Aerospace Forces with reg.numbers RF-92462 and RF-92339 took off from Machulishchy airfield at 14:12 and 14:25 (Kyiv time).
According to our information, they are leaving Belarus and flying to Savasleika airfield (Nizhny Novgorod oblast, Russia).

11. Important to remember. The UAF considered (as many did) that the Russian main effort would initially be aimed at destroying Ukraine's ability to wage war in the Donbass.
-----------
@MikkoLaaksonen1:
25/x First, an assessment of #Russian forces north of #Kyiv concluded that they lacked sufficient troops to effectively isolate and seize the city. The offensive was therefore viewed as a diversionary deployment, aimed at drawing and fixing #Ukrainian forces away from #Donbas.

We note that the branch of the 4th state center for training of aviation personnel and military testing of the Ministry of Defense of Russia is located there.

12. I Heard of cases of reserve units deploying to Sumy in private cars + arriving just in time.
Despite some obvious failings its still amazing how UAF organised/positioned some kind of defence in huge area of Chernihiv + Sumy considering this 7-hours.
-----------
@MikkoLaaksonen1:
28/x As #Gomel and #Chernihiv attacks became apparent, #Ukraine forces were ordered to redeploy 7 hours prior to invasion. Many units were not at assigned or prepared positions, fever troops to hold coast. #Ukrainian units found themselves in a
meeting engagement with the enemy.

@MikkoLaaksonen1:
29/x #Russia had the initiative at the operational level, but with tactical units surprised by what
they were ordered to do. #Ukraine was surprised at the operational level but with tactical units which had been preparing for this fight for eight years. Decided the 72 first hours

14. Interesting. And sloppy.
-----------
@MikkoLaaksonen1:
31/x "Many strikes were struck that had not been
military positions for years." "against moving targets, new detections would apparently
be added to the target list, without removing the previous reported location, so that dynamic
strikes were often delivered too late."
