They tend to summarise events and you have to click links on the website for more detail. It is a war of attrition which suits Russia for now. Another year of this will see NATO drawn deeper into the mire and i don't think we're going to like that at all - inflation is already hard to control and a recession will really test our mettle.
Maybe. But the big argument for Ukraine is that they will use them in their own country to defend it. Not as an assault on another country.
That's assuming Russia is able to manage the attrition better than Ukraine. Given the Russian vehicle reserves are mostly tapped out but the Western ones are still plentiful that seems like a poor bet.
But they still have plenty of cannon fodder to throw in the line - and so long as the line holds Putin has plenty of chips to stay in the game. Unless one of his Generals has other ideas...
No one has enough manufacturing capability to keep up with high intensity warfare demands. You always stockpile ahead and hope you've got enough to last however long the war is.
Do you actually believe the stuff you post Notch?
The Americans dropped 5 million of tons of bombs on Vietnam and achieved nothing apart from bankrupting their own country and killing millions of innocents who were no threat to them.
They learnt that unguided munitions were incredibly inefficient. That was was the start of smart munitions. Russia doesn't seem to have gotten the memo.
The intel they are getting is huge and making a massive impact.
