Now that the fog of propaganda wars is getting thinner, it is quite obvious that Russian Federation armed forces have regained the initiative after 72 hours of combat operations and have overcome the initial challenges posed by terrain, logistics and sporadic Ukrainian resistance, which the Russian GRU had not expected. However, the Russians have adapted and are methodically degrading Ukrainian infrastructure and now going after C3I. This is going to be a long war and Ukraine has effectively ceased to exist. The Russians have made good progress in the South east and have whole of Sea of Azov coast under their control. I believe that to minimize both Russian military and Ukrainian civilian "collateral damage" the Russians will avoid a quick headlong rush into Kiev, but will methodically choke and wear down the defences. I expect Kiev to fall in 2-4 weeks. There will be no "no fly" zone as Russia and Belarus have flooded the liberated parts of Ukraine with very powerful AD systems like the S-300 and S-400 and Russia has deployed the king of all AD systems the Prometheus S-500 in Belarus. Any NATO air incursion into Ukraine will be sheer suicide. I don't expect any NATO aircraft in Ukraine.
By February 28th, the Russian military gained air supremacy over the whole of Ukraine, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said at a briefing.
On February 27th, the Russian Defence Ministry claimed the destruction of 42 Ukrainian aircraft and helicopters on the ground and in the air. So far, 11 unmanned aerial vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been reportedly destroyed. Four more Ukrainian combat aircraft were destroyed on the ground and one more warplane was reportedly shot down in the air on February 28th.
On the first day of the Russian military operation numerous military facilities all over Ukraine were destroyed, including airfields.
