A Strategic Air Campaign For Ukraine

Reflections On Responses

Hello All,

Well, I have to say that I was really impressed and a little overwhelmed by all the different responses received to the two posts about a possible strategic air campaign for Ukraine.

A Strategic Air Campaign For Ukraine: Crushing Russian Mobility Through Oil and Rail Attacks

Obviously, when David Deptula tweets out a piece, its having some kind of impact in the air power world.

I also really appreciated many of the different thoughtful comments, which brought up different points that I think deserve reflection and response. Many of the comments covered the same points in different ways, so I thought I would provide this piece to discuss three large areas of response—hopefully coherently.

Btw, before I get to this, I have two announcements for those who want to buy War and Power—one for those in the UK/Europe and the other for those in the USA (and I think Canada).

First, if you want to by a signed first edition, copy of War in Power, you can get them now from the UK booksellers Toppings. I signed a few hundred the other day.

Second, if you are in the USA and would like to pre-order a copy, Barnes & Noble are doing a 25% sale for the next three days on pre-orders of War and Power.

Now—back to strategic air power.
