Yesterday (Feb. 28), Ukraine took out five Russian planes apparently. S-300 missiles took out three of them, and Ukrainian fighter jets took out two Russian fighters. Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners used a BUK-M1 anti-aircraft system to shoot down a Russian helicopter and one cruise missile as well. Do the Russians really suck this badly? I mean Ukraine only has like a $4 billion defense budget!? I am hoping against hope that they kick the crap out of that giant armored column heading towards Kyiv. They still have air superiority which is a major advantage. And of course they aren't going to publicly announce what they're planning for that column.
