Then how would you explain the gains ukrianians are making..

Russia has been pounded bad and has been exposed how poor they are in equipment and training

Those gains are no longer taking place. In the past few months, the Ukrainians have made some gains on the ground because they hugely outnumbered the Russians and because of their human-wave attacks. They were suffering heavy casualties in each piece of land they seized though.

Putin eventually let his military generals run the war without much interference. This is how the new mobilization and increased troop numbers were announced.

The Russian air defense units also adjusted to and eventually neutralized the new flux of Western weapons that for a few months gave the initiatives to Ukrainians in some areas. Now, the momentum is back on the Russian side.

The Ukrainian offensive in the Kherson front is neutralized as well. And in the Donesk region, Russians are actually gaining ground. There is also a huge military buildup on the Ukrainian-Belarus border. What the Russians will do in this theater remains to be seen.

Russians are also focusing on taking out all critical energy, rail, and power infrastructure in Ukraine. The goal is, while the new influx of troops will change the battle dynamics in the South and The Donbass region, these aerial attacks will also bring Ukraine to its knees.

Ukrainians have made huge gains because of superior intelligence and because they have found breaches on certain areas of the front leading to total collapses of Russian lines of defence. Ukrainians have captured more territories in a matter of weeks than Russians in a matter of MONTHS. They did not "hugely outnumber" the Russians because the Ukrainians are actually outnumbered on the eastern front on every matters,be it artillery,aviation,troops,heavy equipments.

What mattered is vastly superior intelligence and with western help combined with better combined arms tactics and superior artillery in terms of quality. The Ukrainians are constantely,helped with western intelligence,trying to find breaches on the front to conduct the same exact tactics that helped them capture areas in the east and the south.

Which Russian momentum are you talking about ? Russian "gains" are at best few dozen meters on the Bakhmut axis at the cost of huge losses,sending waves after waves notably from wagnerites. Russian army and wagner captured vesela dolyna near Bakhmut after months of fighting and carpet bombing and after taking heavy casualties..... as I said once Vesela Dolyna is literally 10 houses.... if that is the "success" you are talking about.

Those mobilized cannon fodder without any meaningful military experience and with obsolete equipments will change zilch on the battlefield,it will eventually lead to a disaster some were already sent and killed on the front few days after being mobilized.

Russia has deployed half its airborne forces (what is left of them) to defend Kherson. Ukraine might take Kherson, but I dont believe the russian forces are going to be overrun or panic. I think a slow push and an orderly russian retreat is more likely.

looks like the pilots have changed their attack profile on the drones - ie take them out to the side, rather tham head on to avoid debris ingestion ..

you are aware that top attack mode is completely different from top attack mode of javelin .
javelin hit tank from top . Tow top attack mode is just fly 1-2m above tank and explode there only good against targets like Humvee or if infantry is hiding behind a wall cant penetrate tanks.

As a dual trained Bradley/Abrams commander, I can tell you for a fact that what you are saying is wrong.

TOW missile attack with a tandem warhead with the missile, a top attack mode would propel the tantalum warhead into the top side of enemy Armor......

TOW 2 Wire-Guided Anti-Tank Missile

The BGM-71 tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided (TOW) anti-tank missile is produced by Raytheon. TOW 2 missile is used by the US and its allies.
