Two years ago I thought it would go much faster than what we're seeing (or I think I'm seeing). The hard truth which the Western media won't seem to touch with a 10-foot pole is that Ukraine can take out every S-400 system but that might not change anything on the front-line. You write this yourself, reading between the lines. I'm now becoming very skeptical that Ukraine can prevent Russia's attritional strategy and tactics if the West doesn't get its proverbial head out of its arrogant ass ;)

What am I missing?
