The money isn't the biggest lose for Russia.

The Su-25 factory is in Georgia so Russia can't replace losses, hell they can't even get parts to repair damage aside from what they have in stock.

They are replacing them with a modified version of the SU-34M, there is a total of 40 on order (not sure what the breakdown of variants is) with between 5 and 10 delivered this year depending on source. Manufacturing isn't currently keeping up with losses.

looks like a lie

The guy claims it's arrived in Ukraine and says Ukraine will received 80,000 glsdb missiles. The post is full of comments of people asking him for his sources and his answer is basically "I don't have time to give you links to the source, go learn how to Google yourself". For someone who doesn't have time, he sure has time to post a dozen times saying he doesn't have time to provide proof of his claims

And if I search for "glsdb" in Google for recent posts in last couple days, the only thing that comes out is that tweet and a Reddit post by the same guy linking to his tweet. Until proven otherwise it would appear that Twitter account is full of crap

Saab said they were readying the first batch (hard to find numbers but seems like less than 1000 units) to send 2 days ago, so probably be awhile until they are in use. (Last comment from Boeing was early next year for delivery).

EDIT: According to Google only just over 30,000 have been produced to date with production capacity up to about 400 a month.

You know what they say, if somethings too good to be true it usually is not true :(

From the videos I've watched most of the ex pilots are saying the primary role of the F-16 is to force the Russian airforce to remain grounded or have it's operations severely limited in scope.

It will be a while before they show up, the first batch of pilots have only recently moved to the Netherlands to begin practical training.

Well that would be disappointing, I would have thought the ability to hit crucial targets further away than they can reach now would be a major benefit.

Take a Train carrying 1000 containers for instance, hitting that just as it enters Russia would not just be a significant blow logistically for the Russians it would also be a demoralising one for them.

Knowing nowhere is safe would be priceless.

The issue is what the Ukrainians would use to hit a train deep into Russian territory.
 
So in summery it was 2 airports in Berdyansk and in Luhansk that were hit. We believe that 9 helicopters at one of those fields were destroyed (or is that across both fields?) and it was done with ATACMS?

Right when Putin is in China.
