thats true, but how's that relevant to the war? especially with Russian troops obviously in high morale and on teh offensive? whats my point? these material losses OBVIOUSLY havent had a noticeable immpact on Russian operations- if they have, please prove it.
From a massive armor push to kiev to mostly small pushes and infantry waves in bakhmut.
Artillery dominance down as well (used to be 10 times that of ukraine)
Forced retreats from kiev, chernihiv, kharkiv, kherson.
Obvious enough?
lmao- another projection - Ukraine has already become a new and different state because it demilirazied itseslf, what you describe that Russsia does, Ukraine is the one always doing it. stop projecting.
Empty words. I will repeat, russia is losing half its armor and burning through stocks at a rate decades to replenish.
This against a former soviet brother state (15 years ago).
no, in reality. The reality that if Sweden and Finland are accepted into NATO formally, conflict will start on the borders, and since NATO is too weak now, it refrained, via Turkey and Hungary, but it was enough. No Sweden or Finland entry atm, because NATO probably wont survive this Ukraine war.
Russia is struggling a year to take a tiny coty called bakhmut. It cant do shit against other nations, let alone finland which humbled them last time round.
whats your proof these mobiks wont get proper material? i mean dont talk out of your azz now, please start sharing facts, docuemnts, etc to back up your weird opinions, cuz i wont let it go just cuz of nothing- prove your weak points!
Satellite images obtained by Finnish public broadcaster Yle have revealed that much of the military equipment at Russia's Alakurtti military base near the Finnish border has been removed. "It's very likely they were transported by train to Ukraine," milit...

Russia is emptying border garrisons. Where are the magic 100.000s extra troops? What a “threat”
thats historical, not modern Russia, your point is only right in the historical context, i'm talking modern today context,
Russia invaded chechnia, georgia, ukraine….critisized by most of the world.
This is why so many countries see russia as the same since it simply acts the dame
it was NATO that was fuking with Russia on the border, LIKE IN Georgia in 2008, but Russia put a stop to it, its NATO that is the expansionist imperialist bully in the modern world today- but Russia will break its bones in Ukraine, Iran knows that the most- if NATO is allowed to escape this Ukraine war without permanent damage to it, that would be so foolish of Russia, CHina, Iran, India, Venezuela, SYria, Yemen, Iraq.
well so far its russia burning through its army buddy.
irrelevant
can you quantify what you call small change?
Yes. Support is in the single digit…even for europe.
-and USA has hardly scratched surface of its stocks.
100. Radley from 8000 stock
30 abrams from 6000 stock
0 f16 from 2200 stock.
Russia and CHina ha\ve also spent small change on this war,
On 5 December, Vladimir Putin signed the 2023 budget law which also specifies the general parameters of the budgets for 2024–5. The document assumes that the average price of Urals oil in 2023 will be US$75 per barrel, that inflation will reach 5% by the end of the year, and GDP will fall by...

Germany 2%
Usa is expected to spend 3,7-4%.
Russia lost half its active armor.
again…can you count?
so whats your point? money doesnt matter in war, didnt you just see poor Afghanistan defeat Rich US ?
Money caused the soviet union to collapse….you know so little.
This is not a fallacy. Its is fact USA has not even started to dig into its massive depots.
Check sierra depot. Or even usa active use of its numbers thousands.
No not really. See above.
what matters is that on the battlefield, Ukraine is losing now, fair and plain.
Your missing the point simpleton.
Explain to me. You claim russia is “grinding nato” yet how is it going to do that while it lost 2000 tanks vs 0 from USA so far? Hmmm?
Russia keeps producing tanks and military hardware- even meeting export orders!!
It makes 200 tanks a year. It lost 1500plus.
You cannot do math?
watch the battlefield and stop distracting us with talks about warehouses when you have never even seen one in real life, never worked in intelligence, so you dunno crap, you just love conspiracy theories, so emotional.
I watch the battlefield.
Russia mobilised 300.000 extra troops.
Since october battlefield lines hardly moved.
Check it yourself if you have trouble with logical thinking.
historically, some of that is true, but not in modern times- can you reference any country Russia tried to take over in modern times aka as the Russian federation?
Chechnia, georgia, ukraine, constantly threathening baltics, moldova, finland.
And heavily supporting anti-eu parties all over europe.
You know shit
dude. There is a reason so many eastern european countries are still careful of russia after soviets.
give it time, Kiev might not need to be taken, Russia can just keep weakening the whole Ukraine until Kiev "falls".
historically. once again you have a weird obsession.
thats what you made. betting Bakhmut wont fall only confirms insanity, because your denial level is astronomical.
I did not bet anything mr “screenshot this” clown.
Bakhmut will probably fall. I expected it to months ago with russias winter offensive which has been a dud.
Its a small city with not a lot of strategic value though.
Seeing it took russia a year to take 1 small billage. Kiev is faaaaaar out of reach.
am i talking about those towns? cant you stay on one topic? one town at a time jackass.
After bakhmut there are even harder nuts to crack for russia. It shows that your bullshit of “collapsing ukraine” is utter nonsense.
sure
1 month bro, you're gonna be sooo hurt this month when Bakhmut falls. Ukrainian govt didnt want to say Soledar fell when it did, so it might take a year to admit Bakhmut falls when it actually happens.
While russia is throwing thousands of troops against balhmut and vuhledar. Ukraine is training tens of thousands in the west on combined arms warfare for upcoming tanks/bradley/striker.
Do you know what that is going to mean come summer/autumn? there will be a counter again.
Nevermind, your iq cannot handle complex thought. After 1+ year of the week long special operation russia might gain Bakhmut! Great succes comrades!
