International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[Strychnine]

Do people really watch this shit ? I think
Ukrainian soldiers that get 250 FABs dropped on their heads daily will beg to differ about the air superiority

If you watched the video, you'd know that the Russians can't just fly around willy-nilly. No total air superiority.

Relax.

 

[SandisLL]

They can't safely to drop simple bombs....
While in areas where isn't long range SAM protection they might drop gliding bombs and looks that Ukr is running out of their S-300 missiles stockpiles....

They will blame europe despite 8 european countries can't afford to deplete their stockpiles due to high risk....

Congress most likely will not approve aid next month, at least month Johsnon definitely will be able to delay voting for support....maybe even till december.

 

[Orgasmo]

Why do you lie Orgasmo?

Your link says you are lying. Did you not read your own link?

Orgasmo lie says:

Orgasmo's link says:
New analysis by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) estimates that Russia has lost 3,000 armoured fighting vehicles in the last year and close to 8,800 since the war began.

Unable to produce anywhere near that number of vehicles, Russia has mainly refurbished ageing hardware that Connolly said many other states would have discarded long ago.

More lies:

Link says:
Russian factories claimed to have delivered 1,500 main battle tanks this year, of which 1,180 to 1,280 had been reactivated from storage.



I can understand people not reading each others links but you should read your own links if you want any credibility to your statements

Ah source of cheap laughs returns.

Russia lost 3000 armored fighting vehicles last year according to the link. Let's ignore the fact that a significant portion of armor vehicles disabled in battle are actually recovered and repaired. I'm going to indulge your stupidity by pretending every vehicle lost is blown to smithereens.

They added 1500 main battle tanks into service in 2023, either refurbished from Soviet stockpile (~1200) or new production (~300). That is main battle tanks alone, which only typically comprise of 25% to 30% of total armored vehicles in an army. There are armored personnel carriers (APC), infantry fighting vehicles (IFV), self-propelled guns (SPG), MRAPs just to name a few others you dumb shit.

Now if Russia brought 1500 MBTs into service last year which typically comprise of 25% to 30% of total armored vehicles , approximately how many did they delivered total? That's 6th grade math. Do you need some help with that?

Relax.

Right now the biggest threat for Russian planes is the Russian air defense, sadly

They've lost "close to 8,800 since the war began."

Did you not even read his post, let alone your own link?

8,800 armored vehicles lost, almost 3,000 of them MBTs.

And the tanks they're replacing them with are literally T-55s from the 50s. They are replacing T-90s with T-55s. lmao

interesting video on the ruble..

If they are using T 54 and T 55 as self propelled field guns then it isn't good for Ukr.
For them they does have a lot of ammo and actual effective range is higher than for T72 not alone T 62....
Also shells for infantry....

Russias economic motor is running at a high rpm right now. 40% of their budget going towards war machine is crazy and unsustainable. Question is how along can they do it with their infrastructure failing all over the place . But Russia going to Russia and suffer on

Russia hasn't even gone into a war economy yet. Learn your history.

How much is Russia spending on its invasion of Ukraine?

By historical standards, it’s a puny amount. That tells you three big things

Thanks For the lesson, but I’ll go on the record and say the special military operation is puny in regards to WW2

There has been a disturbing uptick in RU slaughtering Ukrainians as they surrender. 4th or 5th video I've seen in recent weeks of them doing it.

Bloomberg and Forbes hardly left wing have estimated that the Ukraine War is costing Russia 3 to 5 times its peace time military budget between 220 billion to 300 billion dollars per year vs 75 billion per year. Upwards of 300 million a day and over the decades trillions in lost business. Then there is the collapse of natural gas shipments to Europe equaling a 30 percent cut.

No one in the media is talking about these issues like it's not obvious how Russia impacted but D-bag Tucker going around grocery shopping.

If I was a UKR soldier I would certainly think twice about surrendering, Russians don’t take care of their own let alone the enemy. And I’m sure the Russians are told to take no prisoners as war crimes don’t mean anything to them.

And things are just going to get worse with the low rouble, high interest rates and lack of skilled people as so many have been out pulled to the war. I always wondered what the Russian commanders say to each other about what’s going on especially with the aircraft loses and amount of people sent to their death in Avdiivka. It seemed Prog was the only one who spoke out about the shit show going on.

These numbers SOON will be corrected and I will explain why and how in details.

For example russia does have mountains with stuff produced long ago ....
Taxpayers already had paid for this long years ago.
If ammunition for example is " older " than shelf storage time and wasn't refubrished, they might wrote in accountancy book that for example 152 mm shell does cost 1 rouble etc.

With Anti tank mines the same, they had damn a lot even from USSR era so all real expenses are logistics expenses and bonus that warehouses does have more free rooms....
Therefore here too might be 1 rouble for 1 mine in accountancy book..

While when they need to produce new stuff today, then things are different.

Additionally Russia is capable to hide real military expenses cos for example civil infrastructure funds allows to purchase construction materials .....and ofc it is possible to use them for bunkers etc...like in USSR era....

When ammount of stuff produced before war will reduce ....then their expenses will dramatically increase....

Interest rates looks that maybe are set by Putin and therefore West and East maybe are praying God to keep best deNazification of Russia tool in his post as long as it is possible....
