Russia has some of the very best mlitary equipment in the world, they are not simply fighting Ukraine here. You do realise that billions have been poured into this war from Nato countries? Arming Ukraine to the. teeth and they still cant stop them taklng land. If `Russia poured everything into this, Ukraine wouldn't even be on the map right now.You just post any old nonsense
I suggest you research Putins recruitment problem.
During 2024 Russian was burning troops at a rate of 30,000 a month, it was just about able to replenish them.
Moral is very low in Russian military, they know it’s not a just cause, they know they will go to the front line and die……if troops retreat from the front, they have back up troops that shoot them.
This a badly disciplined army with very low morale
Drug shortages in the UK have risen to their worst level for four years, official figures show, with Brexit considered a key reason so many medications are scarce. United Nations trade data shows that the UK “once again has the lowest rise in imports of medicines of all G7 countries since 2010.
In addition, UK drug exports to the European Economic Area have fallen by a third since before the UK voted in 2016 to leave the EU.
Poor Mitch is still angry he voted for brexit and it turned out sh1t
Poor Mitch is too much of a coward to admit he was wrong

Russia had cold war stocks coming out of their ears. They still have thousands more tanks and equipment to throw away. Even 2 more years from now, on current trajectory, i dont think it will look that different. The point is that Europe has not got the military stocks to go into a sustained war with Russia, the only hope is that the U.S will not back away from us. Russia has been stockpiling it's military capabilities for years whilst Europe have been depleting theirs for the same amount of time. Europe has the money to alter this but it doesnt help because it takes years to receive the tanks and planes from the date of ordering. We are a few years away from re arming and becoming a threat without the U.S.

It wasn't the voters that got it wrong, it was the politicians that lied and twisted and turned turning Brexit into nothing like what was voted for. Blame the politicians not the voters.
The Institute for the Study of War says...
Russia has maintained its offensives by tapping its Soviet-era stocks of armored vehicles and artillery systems to compensate for these high loss rates, but this resource is finite and approaching a point of diminishing availability. IISS assessed that Russia refurbished and built over 1,500 tanks and 2,800 IFVs and APCs in 2024 — suggesting that Russia produced enough vehicles to replace all of IISS's estimated tank losses and three quarters of IISS's assessed Russian armored vehicle losses in 2024.[10] Other open-source assessments of Russian military depots using satellite imagery find that Russia retains 47 percent of its pre-war tank reserves, 52 percent of its pre-war IFV reserves, and 45 percent of its pre-war APC reserves in storage as of December 2, 2024.[11] Some analysts forecast that Russia will run out of its Soviet-era equipment stockpiles by the end of 2025 or in 2026.[12] IISS also notably assessed that Russia may be suffering from a shortage of spare parts to refurbish tanks and armored vehicles. Significant portions of Russia’s Soviet-era tanks and armored vehicles remaining in long-term stores are likely the remains of cannibalized or unsalvageable hulls in deteriorated condition that cannot be used to offset the high equipment losses Russian could face in 2025 and beyond.

In other words; Putin needs this trump deal to help him out of a losing situation where the Russian army is bogged down going nowhere fast anytime soon.

What a load of poppy cock. Here is a man looking at Google and reading propaganda. Then talks like he is some military expert. Don't make me laugh. You have zero knowledge so do not spout that I know nowt whn I have more knowledge that I have forgot than what you know.

No need to, I am more aware than you are and therefore whatever I say you will simply resort to your childish names as you have just demonstrated. Ta -Ra
That's wrong
The West has trickle fed Ukraine for 3 years.
Russia only advanced in Q3 and Q4 last year because Trump stopped aid being released and they ran out of ammo.
It has some advanced nuclear and ballistic, but it doesn’t make a great army
Tanks with turrets that explode
Soldiers have poor clothing
cheap helmets
poor body armour.
Yes Russia is a powerful military, it is basically an Oil economy that spends a huge amount of Gdp on military, but it’s suffering from 3 years of attrition.
