Russia has lost 250 MRLS that have been photographed and documented.
We gave Ukraine 60 MRLS systems of all makes and models. None have been documented as being lost. Literally never a single photograph. Russia claims they've destroyed 600 of them though so who knows.

A recent leak about the qualitative issues Russia is experiencing from the former head of the Russian space program.
But it is well known that their kit is shorter ranged than NATO models. The lack of smart munitions is less well documented but Russia hasn't been using them in bulk, whilst NATO had more or less moved over to them as the default.
Why hasn't Ukraine pushed them back since Kherson? Because mines are cheap, mines are incredibly effective and Russia has used millions of them. No one has ever tried breaching a defensive line like the ones in Russia without air superiority, ever.
The kit we gave them helped Ukraine stop Russia cold and start pushing them back. Without it they probably wouldn't have been able to do that.
If Ukraine had been given equal quantities the story would be utterly different. Russia started the war with a couple of thousand MRLSs, there are at least a thousand HIMARs and M270s. We've donated 60. Imagine how Russia would be doing if they had to fight at less than 10:1 odds.
It's easy to make vague generic comments about propaganda. I gave you a real example of it where Russia claimed to have destroyed all the HIMARS donated ten times over, but have never got a photograph taken of a broken one. If they had it they'd be showing it off. If you doubt any of the documented cases you can critique the photos, they're publicly available and any mistakes or duplicates are taken down.

Because they lie and a significant proportion of the population can't tell the difference between truth and lies. For example all those COVID conspiracy theorists.
We don't allow anyone to have or run a TV channel. If you keep lying then your license gets pulled. Which is why GBNews is probably not going to last that long either.
It's not my fault you're too lazy to use Telegram and Google translate to follow the Russian Millblogger community to see what they're saying. FWIW, they're saying their kit is crap.
As i said comedy gold , you believe what you are spoon fed .
Their kit is crap is this what you mean ?

2003? It was a national scandal when we didn't have enough body armour during Iraq.
That's the norm for Russia. You have to buy your own equipment and food.

What is your point? That Russian kit is superior because we issued the wrong boots in 2003?
You claim the Russian losses are made up propaganda, but can't point to any examples.
You claim Russian kit is capable of matching NATO and you point at boots that aren't issued anymore.
You're full of hot air. No substance at all.
This did jump out at me. What training do you think is being provided?
We ran a 5 week infantry course for Ukraine. Phase 1 training for the army takes 14 weeks. Phase 2 takes another 6 weeks for tankies, another 10-12 weeks for Infantry.
Our basic infantry get (some units get much more) 24 weeks training, not a 5 week reservist crash course. It's far better than nothing but only an idiot would call it top class.
