    Imagine they’re likely reconstituting forces for renewed assaults in the future. Aviation seems to be what they lean on when they have no other easy alternatives to achieve current objectives. The aviation attrition hurts though, and that’s before the f-16s and Gripens show up.

    Stopped, meaning they’re running out of meat to throw at them.
