Whatever brought the Mainstay down, it is by far the most significant Russian air loss of the war so far. https://twitter.com/KyleJGlen/status/1746832120092201166#m

What's more, I don't recall any other incident involving the shootdown of an AEW&C/AWACS aircraft besides of the downing of a US Navy's Lockheed EC-121M Warning Star by North Korean MiG-21s in 1969.
Are you aware of any other ones?

This is a very interesting interview.
Summary of highlights in the thread by Rob below.
Will give some comments to certain bits in my own short thread.

Skibitsky's comments on the targets of the Russian strike campaign largely aligns with my own earlier analysis. https://twitter.com/The_Lookout_N/status/1744431863433740691#m

On Russian manpower generation, I think the figure given by Skibitsky is plausible.
The Russians were able to blunt the Ukrainian offensive, build up for their own Autumn offensive (Avdiivka) and also replenish and restore units elsewhere.

Again, I want to highlight the plight of the merchant ship crews.
They are normal people of all nationalities, just doing their job.
Sailing in a war zone takes a toll and history shows merchant mariners aren't taken properly care of in the aftermath.
Do better this time! https://twitter.com/UK_MTO/status/1746895176054845472#m
