Michael Kofman’s assessment of Ukraine and Russian strength / gains an weaknesses/ losses was seriously deficient in its neglect of the air war. Ukrainian long range strikes frequently meet with no response — no drones , ground to air missiles, cannon fire. And their range is increasing. And Ukraine defeats 90+% of Russian drone /missile attacks , which can number 100/night. These elements augment the ground war focus, which is decidedly less positive.
