    So based on the long Russian convoy’s the Ukrainian Air Force is not in play.

    The tactical term is IFR Idiots Following Roads. If they were against the US that would be a highway of death.

    This also shows the Regular Ukrainian Army artillery are probably out of action. They should have pre planned fires on the roads. They already have the coordinates and could do linear fires unobserved.

    Reminds me of an old Bill Mauldin cartoon from the early '60s, where a mouse in a French military uniform with the label "De Gaulle" on his cap, is standing on top of a U.S. bald eagle, and exclaiming:

    "I tell you, Khrushchev is chicken!!"

    Sounds like a little mouse from Minsk is standing on a big bear.

    This all flies in the face against reported claims like "96 Russian tanks and 8 fuel tankers were taken out" in another area. If they managed to do that then why are these IFR's going unmolested? Also, whatever happened to the "ghost of 'Kyiv?" He should be having a field day with this target rich environment.

    Also casts doubt on the “ghost of Kiev” and the Ukrainian air superiority……..

    Even a mig with just its 30mm would do a lot of damage

    Propaganda is louder than reality, sadly.

    To those wondering where the Ghost of Kyiv is, he put down his game controller to go to the bathroom. When he came back, he logged off to go to bed.

    Didn't we use them in Afghanistan in the early days of the 2002 invasion?

    I'm not sure why they act like it's something special, thermobarics and fuel air bombs do the same thing.

    There's even thermobaric warheads for the RPG-7.

    It's just a way to boost the effectiveness of the blast wave, which it relies on for its destructive ability.

    From what I have been able to gather:

    All weapons except for specifically chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear are considered conventional.

    , there are some treaties restricting the use of some conventional weapons by their signatory. These include anti-personnel land mines, cluster munitions, and small explosive projectiles.

    The first such treaty still in effect is the St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868, which prohibited explosive and incendiary projectiles under 0.4 kg. Notably, it was initiated by the very nation that created said "explosive bullets".

    The most recent is the Convention on Cluster Munitions of 2008. Cluster bombs are definitely conventional, but result in excessive collateral damage. Not all countries are signatories to either or both, and treaties only apply to conflicts between signatories.
