and who knows when that assault is actually going to begin? a direct hit on a russian armoured column as it advances on the capital, kyiv. western supplied anti tank weapons have slowed the russian advance, but they haven t stopped it. in the air, russian warplanes remain wary of ukraine s air defences. but they have the advantage of numbers on their side. the latest pentagon assessment is that the russian air force is flying an average of 200 missions a day, compared tojust ten for the ukrainians. now, some of those russian sorties don t even need to cross into ukrainian airspace. they can fire their cruise missiles from inside russian territory. this is what they re up against, western supplied missile systems, plus some old soviet era stock. the ukrainians have shot down a number of russian helicopters and planes. russia has threatened to start targeting the supply of western weaponry. meanwhile, the pentagon has
