Well, the estimation was done in 2021, so now may not be around 2300 tons.
But fact remain, if Russia really do go after backing their currency with gold. Well, let's just say this will end pretty badly for the Russian.
To me the biggest problem is not the Russian turn on their phone. The biggest issue from this is how or why Russian Army put 2 Battalion worth of men together, 13 km away from the frontline.
Comms, I get it, it's hit and miss sometime, you think it's secure but it's not, I get it, mistake was made, but don't bunch your people up is the number 3 rules of war probably since the age of artillery. I mean, by now the Russian should have heard of every variation of the expression "One grenade will kill you all" there are no excuse to put that dense troop concentration at the same location that close to the front line.
I am imagining the guy who in charge of intercept that signal must have felt like he died and gone to heaven to have that many signal lit up at the same compacted place.
