"SNIP.....

New satellite images from Maxar Technologies show the Russian military convoy that has reached the outskirts of Kyiv is now more than 40 miles long, CNN reports.

......SNIP"

Applegrove: They can't drive on the ground because for some reason (climate change?) it is not frozen and the mud stops their heavy vehicles. So they have to stick to roads. We need a convoy of truckers who can leave their trucks with the brakes on and gum up the roads. It can be done.

1. Yikes !!!

[Irish_Dem]

2. Sending prayers to the Ukrainian people.

They will need all the help they can get.

[dchill]

3. Time to call in the Warthogs.

And the drones.

[Karadeniz]

4. Where are the drones, anti tank weapons? I hope they're just waiting.

[spanone]

5. This could be a slaughter. Jesus.

[ffr]

6. What I wouldn't give to see the skies full of A-10 Warthogs.

[WarGamer]

12. here

[ffr]

17. That's not a Warthog and it's also not in the column headed toward Kyiv.

So irrelevant!

[Buckeyeblue]

7. It's the Alamo

[El Supremo]

8. What a target!

Where to hit first? They can't scatter.

[TomSlick]

14. That's easy.

The first strike is on the lead and rear-most vehicles. That blocks the road and the others can be picked off as long as the ammunition and targets last.

9. My god, what kind of leader leaves their people out there so vulnerable?

I'm guessing the Generals are just about pissing themselves trying to get authorization to break up the column(s) into waves, get air cover in place, etc.

But Pooty wants a big impressive-looking parade.

Those kids are in the meat grinder.

I feel sorry for them.

sadly,

10. That's exactly what I thought. What are they doing?

This is almost deliberate incompetence. They've created a sitting duck that is getting juicier every day.

[James48]

11. What I wouldnt give

For about a hundred fully armed Cobra attack helicopters right now. And a couple of heavy artillery batteries. The artillery can hit each end, then rake the line target until there is nothing but rust and ashes.

Our Army’s Cobra attack helicopters could chew up that column in 15 minutes. We turned them into storage 30 years ago. Could be useful today.

[sarcasmo]

19. 300 Reaper Drones with fully armed Hellfire missiles.

13. The Ukraine pilots are now in Poland getting ready to get the offered fighter jet fighters...

I'd also rather see these young Russian soldiers turn around and go home.

Save both sides from more destruction, injury and death bc of Putin.

[Deuxcents]

16. I hope they hurry

I also hope every target gets hit

[electric_blue68]

18. I also hope they can get there in time!

[dflprincess]

20. They could just lay down their arms and surrender where they are

Better that than continuing to participate in Putin's war crimes.

I hope when this is over any soldier that participated in attacking civilians is hauled to The Hague and tried for their crimes.

[dsp3000]

15. Does ukraine not have anything that can strafe this convoy???

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

21. I really hate to say this, but, that's a sitting duck, why not destroy it?

[gristy]

22. Yikes

The most feared aircraft in the Air Force arsenal, the A-10 Tankbuster was the first aircraft in U.S. aviation history designed specifically for Close Air Support. Its ability to support ground troops, to take out enemy positions and tanks and act as a spotter plane have made it one of the most successful jets of recent times. From its first taste of battle in Desert Storm to the recent assault on Baghdad, the A-10 carries enough weaponry into battle to disable 16 main battle tanks, and with its amazing 30 millimeter 7-barrelled cannon, the "Flying Gun" dominates the skies. This episode chronicles the combat history of the "Warthog" and features interviews with current pilots who share combat experiences and take you for an unforgettable flight in the A-10.
