Weapons shortage

Amazing that people with such small homes so often fall out of the windows to their death.

The place in the link
Sol-Iletsk is a town in Orenburg Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Ilek River, 77 kilometers south of Orenburg, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 28,377; 26,883; 23,836; 22,000; 11,802. The climate is arid, sharply continental
Area 185.3 km²

Not that big. In say Moscow etc as in Ukraine there will be a lot of apartment living - much like a number of countries. France, Finland, Turkey ..........
Russia in total is a rather large area of land. A Fin was telling that is all that a lot of Fins can afford and they lust after a dacha to go with it.

Maybe large apartment blocks is what the UK needs.

Putins plan for the Ukraine is down the collective toilet

His prestige is waning and his military vulnerability is exposed for all to see

This entire caper has shown up the vulnerability of nations giving up nuclear weapons ( Ukraine) and those who do not have them ??

Perhaps we should drag 50-year old tanks out of museums, like Vlad.

Perhaps we shouldn't disclose how much stock we have left and keep them guessing?
I can't understand why governments make statements like these to the media. It's like asking the enemy to back off for a while so you can rebuild your stocks!
What happened to the old war slogans? Loose lips sink ships. Keep mum, don't tell the hun. Be careful what you say, you don't know who is listening.
Talking to the media is like asking your enemy to sit in on briefing meetings!

Russia has more nukes... and what?

They're a pointless weapon of last resort with massive diminishing returns beyond the point of having enough of them to destroy the world two or three times over.

I haven't read the last 5-6 pages of responses so I'm having trouble detangling what it is you're trying to say here.

If you're talking about range, America has the greatest ability to project force anywhere in the world than any other nation bar none. In in an imaginary world with no nuclear weapons, If America wished to hem Russia in and destroy them with conventional warfare, they would have no trouble doing this.

Russia is essentially a broke d**k paper tiger with massive amounts of useless land mass, an economy the size of Portugal, out of control top to bottom corruption and kleptomania, badly maintained 2nd rate military hardware which is quickly proving itself redundant in modern warfare and their troops seem badly trained and poorly motivated.

Explain what you mean by the new guy "sorting out the incoming western arms", what are specifically referring to here?

How many times as many tanks has Russia got there than US has?
And Men, and rockets, and planes.......

It's not a theoretical war.
US is NOT projecting force from distance. They are not at war with Russia. They are sending some arms, yes.

You sound like a kid in the playground facing down a couple of thugs by saying his uncle is bigger than they are. Irrelevant - kid still gets stuffed.

""sorting out the incoming western arms", what are specifically referring to here?"

Well it's not very complicated is it! . The russkies need to STOP them coming. What else, curate them??!
Not sure why that was so hard to work out.

If they did that, R has more of everything and bigger, than Ukraine without the supplies - they'd win, in their shambolic style of winning. They'd only need to hit a few of those couple of dozen plants I listed, and Ukraine would grind to a halt.

Please stop thinking like you know what's actually happening over there, because you don't.

Putin is bad & Biden is good. God bless Zelenskyy & all of that crap.

This is a precise part of a proxy war between Russia & the USA that began as long as 30yrs ago.

Ordinary people, just like you & me, are dying, nay, they are being slaughtered, because fookwitterys like you think this is all about something that they want you to think it is.

 

[Justin Passing]

The quote you posted specifically mentioned Europe.

Your post specifically mentioned the west - Jeez...

Those are to disrupt civilians.

Bu115h1t. You're telling me that they hit an apartment block on purpose, then land in a field on purpose? A hell of a lot are plain inaccurate, whetever they're aiming at.

Currently we wouldn't get to hear about if Russia did.

We do get to hear quite a lot about what does get there, form the moles on the ground. From R's point of view, it's far too mcuh.

around 70% of Russia, - the towns, villages, roads infra structure etc, is a right shiithole.

Yep, donkey carts, knackered 30 year old vehicles, wiggly tin roofs where the tiles fell off.
In USSR days money was distributed - even to the women on the street who would let you stand on ther scales so they could tell you what you weighed. It was a state job!
When USSR broke up they were "free" but no suppies of anything. In a small hotel you'd be handed a candle.
"Ah, power cuts?"
"Sorree meester, no light bulbs".

Says the man who knows nothing about anything and wants to believe everyone else is saying they do when they aren't saying anything like that which he doesn't care about because all he wants to do is sneer. Sad little xxxx.

There's places in Cornwall like that, it's quaint, people pay good money to see it.

Er it’s about Russia invading the Ukraine with 100,000 plus troops

Tis that simple that even you should be able to understand ??

ordinary people are always killed and suffer in any war or special military operation.

would be a lot less if Russia had not invaded.

politics is 1 thing. Invasion is another !

Then the invasion can be attributed to a political failure, yes?

You wont get much sympathy for that view from a number of people even though there are indications that the general sentiment is correct. This is why I don't see how Russia can win. NATO have already declared the annexation and the rest illegal and it always will be even if they hold what they have for ever. A full diplomatic solution in this sense is impossible. Say Ukraine and Russia made their own. Just where would that leave things. Russia wont get a West Bank type reaction from the west.

So what does Russia do. Currently upset the population in the hope of achieving a regime change. They have done some of that all along. Recently they have shown they can still do this where ever they like. On the other hand the military need power, water and fuel. They also do hit specific military targets. Kyiv is very very careful about what get out on those. Now that includes mobile phone footage from the front but it still gets out at times. This whole area has been tightened up.

It's day 231 of the war. Just what can Russia produce in a period of that length. They wont just be using up stocks. They are running out of missiles but Ukraine needs more air defence urgently. What weapons sent and when has it's interesting points. One example - anti tank. Are they likely to enable Ukraine to win? They will most certainly make things more difficult for Russia. Maybe some others have been delayed as they needed to be made but countries mention stocks running low. Training may be needed. This could be have done at other times than when it cropped up.

There has just been mention of more overnight strikes.

by Russia, yes. But then, they are not at war.
