That's what people don't get about attritional wars, it looks like russian gains are pretty measly (and in manuvere warfare terms they are absolutely pitiful) but attritional wise. Ukraines losses are unsustainable.
Russia has no need to show off and want big pushes, they can just wait and let Ukraine exhaust themselves until they are at critical stage then Russia will launch a massive offensive.
But we also have to realise that whilst much of Ukraines pre 2022 military hardware is destroyed they have received over 2000 AFVs, nearly 3000 APCs, over 500 air defence systems, over 60 fighter jets, over 30 attack helicopters and this is all stuff delivered.
Then we have the new $60b, €20b and £1b in military aid that will be arriving soon (that will be spread out over 2-3 years) along with the €50b and $10b in financial aid that will be arriving. Combined with Ukraine constant mobilisations.
Yeah I honestly don't think this war is even close to being over, I'd say around 2026-2027 before russian victory That's if Ukraine doesn't surrender before then. I can see trump trying to broker a deal but honestly can't see zelensky or the EU and UK willing to make any concessions and even if US cuts off aid Ukraine still has EU, UK, NATO, Japan etc.

@sector986 tnam was a military and political failure regardless of how you look at it, the military failed to defeat the NVA and the US failed to stop communism spreading, same with Afghanistan, military failed to defeat the Taliban and failed to install a pro western government, Iraq was a military victory with a political failure.
That's false, first of all, if the US tried to invade Ukraine, Russia would enact mass mobilization of all its forces, they have far more anti air systems than is one the field, also Russia would transition to a war economy where majority of its industry would be used for war production.
There's 4 major military powers where if they faced eachother at full strength (mass mobilization/ war economy) they would have more or less equal chances, based on economic capabilities, production and logistics capabilities, military power and natural resources, they are the United States, Russian Federation, European Union and the republic of china.
If I had to pick one, I'd pick China, they have the biggest production capabilities, biggest logistical abilities, 2nd biggest navy, biggest army and are leading in many areas from military, economic, logistical and resource wise, different countries have different leads, for examples US has largest air force, most amount foreign bases and GDP nominal, Russia has largest number of tanks and Artillery, European Union has largest navy& land forces, China has largest army, largest foreign &gold Reserves and largest labour force.
I did an essay on this last year, describing what I call the 4 major military powers, in relation to economic power, military power, logistical abilities and natural resources, as they all matter in a countries ability to wage war.

It's amazing how people talk about losses, adviivka is probably the most heavily fortified town other than Kiev, it was the staging post of all offensive operations during Ukrainian rebellion in donbas, it has numerous defensive fortifications like bunkers, trenches, minefields, manpad stations, ATGM spots, SAM sites and radar installations, not to forget the constant reinforcements.
It's going to be a tough battle, so far Russia has only lost around 67-100+ tanks and IFVs and are close to completing their entrapment in north east region after only 12 days of fighting yet the way united24 and Ukrainian bootlickers are reporting you'd think they've lost thousands of tanks 😂
The same united24 that said Ukraine has destroyed 20,000 russian tanks 😂

@hrmpug1092 yes, I work with MSF or doctors without borders, I've treated civilians in Yemen whilst our camp was being shelled, I've worked in Syrian hospitals when the government was barraging the area with artillery and treated soldiers in south Sudan whilst our encampment was under fire from rebel groups, I myself have been injured by shrapnel in Syria, my face, I nearly lost my vision, it was very close to my eye.
Wounds from bullets, shrapnel and blasts from explosives, absolutely wreck the body, a high calibre rifle wound like a 5.56 or .308 can literally rip the flesh of the bones, I've seen a what must have been a .50 cal wound that looked like the person had a swallowed a grenade.
This film is incredibly accurate in its gore and how it shows the absolute fear and constant stress effects people, constantly thinking that at any point a shell or bullet can hit you destroys your mental well-being, I'm okay because I get to go back to my nice first world life, these people in war zones don't have that luxury.

@sahulianhooligan7046 that's absolutely nonsense, I'm talking about the countries of the EU combined.
The EU combined is a major military power, it has massive manufacturing and economic capabilities, massive logistical abilities and large amounts of natural resources and military power, out of the 4 major military powers (US, EU, China and Russia) in military matters they have second most amount of aircraft Carriers, they have 4 aircraft Carriers and 4 helicopter carriers, they have the world's largest navy with most frigates, cruisers, anti mine ships, patrol vessels and more corvettes and Submarines than the US with around 20 destroyers, they have the world's second largest air force with 2nd most amount of fighters and interceptors, 3rd most amount of attack helicopters and 2nd special Type and attack type bombers, they have the world's largest land force with most amount of IFVs, 3rd most amount of tanks, 2nd most amount of self propelled and towed Artillery and 2nd most amount of MLRS systems and air defence batteries, they have the second largest standing army and reserves,
in logistics they have the largest amount of ports, 2nd most amount of roads, 2nt most amounts of railway, most amount of ports, 2nd most amount of waterways, 2nd largest labour force, world's largest merchant fleet, 3rd most amount of airports, 2nd in global manufacturingand have the second most amount of military bases overseas.
In economic abilities, they have the 3rd highest GDP nominal, 2nd highest GDP PPP, 2nd highest foreign and gold Reserves and second highest defence spending.
In natural resources, they have the 4th most out of the major 4, with oil, coal and liquid natural gas production and reserves being 4th most.
So no, Ukraine is not what the combined military of the EU is, not even close, no idea where you even get that idea

@realSanti954 they had spent months training with NATO, they received over $270 billion in aid from Western countries and organisations since 2022, with around ~60% delivered up until july 2023 (~70% today). Broken down it looks like for 2022 to 2023
~$29,580,000,000 Equipment costs
~$15,560,000,000 Munitions costs
~$769,200,000 Small arms costs
~$105,000,000,000 Logistics costs
A lot of people don't realise how much logistics costs, people think you can just send equipment and boom there you go, because in reality it's the thing that costs the most. There's fuel costs, maintenance costs, spare parts costs, systems testing costs, combat testing costs, ammunition costs, crew training costs, mechanics/engineer training costs and transportation costs and then you have to pay the crews, mechanics, drivers and engineers for the operations.
Logistics is what takes up the biggest chunk, for example the Iraq war estimated to have cost over a trillion dollars yet the actual dollar value of the equipment and Munitions used probably barely made half, it's running, maintaining and operating the equipment that costs money.
Up till june 2023 before they launched their counter offensive they had received months of training with NATO equipment, up to ~70,000 soldiers trained to NATO standards, they received nearly 400 NATO air defence systems, hundreds of NATO anti aircraft guns and over 2,000 NATO manpads (including thousands of others) to help them punch a hole in Russia air superiority to get some momentum. They received tens of thousands of NATO ATGMs and nearly 500 NATO standard tanks with 400 ex soviet ones and Thousands of NATO IFVs, APCs, EW systems, radars, counter batteries SPAGs, artillery Guns etc. And dozens of aircraft including attack helicopters and fighter jets along with just over a million shells of artillery and tens of thousands of guided rockets, hundreds of missiles to hundreds of thousands of unguided rockets to hundreds of thousands of mines and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition and nearly half a million NATO small arms.
Remember a lot of this was top stuff or at minimum frontline use in NATO countries. M1A1SA Abrams, M-55S, Leopard 2A6, Leopard 2A4, Leopard 1A5 DK-1, PT-91, Challenger 2, T-72 Avenger, AMX-10RCR, CV90MK-II, CAESAR, PzH-2000, M109A6, Krab, Zuzana, DANAM1, Archer, HIMARS, M270B1, MARS II, RM-70V, RBS-56B, TOW-2A, Javelin E, Harpoon, Hellfire, RIM-7M, Brimstone, Moruš, FFAR, Hydra 70, AASM Hammer, AGM-88 HARM, Storm Shadow, Stringer E, Stinger C, M777A2, RBS-70MK2, Piorun, Patriot PAC-3, SAMP/T, NASAMS-2, IRIS-T SLM, Crotale NG, Bayraktar TB2, Mi-171Sh, MiG-29AS, Akeron MP, MILAN-3ER, Rosomak, M2A2-ODS-SA Bradley, Stryker, AN/TWQ-1, AN/TPQ-53, AN/MPQ-50, AN/TPQ-49, AN/TPQ-48, AN/TPQ-36, TRML, Ground Master 200, Giraffe 75, AGM-88 HARM, COBRA, SQUIRE, ARTHUR, MAMBA etc. Is all minimum frontline NATO equipment and practically every single one has been destroyed at least once.
Their counter offensive was to split the Russian army and capture ~44,000km² out of around ~100,000km² it was to liberate Crimea and prove to the world just how superior Western weapons were.
It was a colossal failure, ~46 billion in military supplies, ~100 billion in logistics and financial costs, months of training, access to the best intelligence NATO has, battle plans coordinated with top NATO commanders and in nearly 5 months of fighting it only caught less than ~400km² or around less than 1% of their target. They couldn't even breach the 2/5 defensive line and spent 3 months fighting for a single street village which by the way was taken back by Russia at the start of 2024. All the hype and Ukraine still lost ~678 km² in 2023 overall despite their offensive. For context Russia captured more territory in February to march 2024 alone, it shows how utterly pointless aid is and how even at Ukraines strongest they can't do anything.
The funniest thing was all the western think tanks and media groups that said western weapons would be too good for Russia to then saying that it was all old. The cope is real. It's also funny because Ukrainians themselves have criticised NATO training. A big problem with NATO Doctrine is that it solely relies on air supremacy, air supremacy is easy when you are facing a country that uses obsolete SAMs and fighter jets.

@MarkhasSteelfort Ukraine post military aid has a stronger army than Turkey. They have more 3rd gen tanks, more 3rd, 4th & 5th gen IFVs, more APCs and more self propelled artillery guns, anti aircraft guns, GMLRS/MLRS, long, short and medium range SAM Launchers, 1st, 3rd and 4th gen manpads and 4th and 5th Gen ATGM systems
And even if EU wasn't counted Greece, Czech Republic and Poland all have pretty good land forces

Russia advances 10 times further in a week than Ukraine does in two months, and small attack ? That must be good copium you're smoking, didn't know 100,000 men, 900-1300 tanks, 1000+ IFVs and dozens of Ka-52s supported by few squadrons of Su-35s, Su-33s and numerous Artillery and MLRS batteries and S-400 air defence systems and offcourse Lancet Drones and missles, was a sMaLl aTtAck, Russia is preparing for a massive push.
They didn't get stopped at all, they broke past the first Ukrainian defensive line and are now, regrouping and re supplying for their next push.
Keep coping

@stefthorman8548 nobody, literally international waters, there's a few major naval powers that roam, including the US, China, Russia, EU, UK,, Iran, Australia and so on all have large presences although only really the US, China, Russia and EU have capabilities to have multiple fleets in various oceans and seas as power projection.

@danielbwest show me where I glorified Russia once ? Thought not, strawman argument.
Lmao they abandoned them because they got beat by Russia lmao honestly the copium is hilarious.
What ammunition difficulties, I've been watching multiple telegram videos and independent journalists, no such issues, there was supply line issues last year regarding Artillery shells but Russia hasn't had an issue since then, you're just regurgitating what you read in the mainstream media, like the debunked Russia is running out of tanks and ammunition, it's actually Ukraine that's running out of anti air systems, it's largely reliant on NATO countries now, you think because western governments say something that it must be true lmao
I don't support Russia because actual unbiased people know that both Russia and Ukraine are equally guilty, I support Russia in taking the donbas regions, because Ukraine has been killing those people since 2014, even to this day they still shell civilian areas and launch terrorist attacks, I don't support Russia invading further or it's barbaric actions against civilians, sounds like you just can't admit that Russia is currently winning, which is why you're smoking ridiculous amounts of copium

@danielbwest they didn't abandon bakmhut or soledar though, I'm not downplaying anything, Ukraines last noteworthy gains were their counter offensive last year.
It's hilarious you talk about downplaying Ukraine, when the mainstream media literally glorifies any and all gains by Ukraine and minimises Russias, perfect examples, bakmhut, when Ukraine was fighting for it, it was of strategic value, when Russia won, suddenly it's not important and Ukraine was just using a trap (which is ironic because it was the other way around) another is this counter offensive, it's been going on for over a week, yet the MSM only started reporting when Ukraine took a couple villages that Russia left and Russia moved forces away from Kherson region.
There's also the ridiculous propoganda like Russia has no tanks, no weapons, no clothes and it's forces are all poorly trained, then there's the demonizing of Russia, showing all the bad things Russia does but not showing what Ukraine does, like shelling civilians, terrorist attacks in Russia and war crimes by it's troops and then literally ANYTHING that's even remotely critical of Ukraine (regardless even if you condem Russia aswell) is dismissed as rUsSiAn pRoPogAndA, it's honestly hilarious how people trust the media and governments when those same entities made up blatant lies about Iraq and lybia so that they could invade.
There's three things that are certain in life, death, taxes and western hypocrisy.

@Stephen-bq4nq
1. I've already explained Iraq, Vietnam and Korea and given plenty of evidence your opinion is irrelevant, the point was Iraq's air force and air defence capabilities were a joke, far far far far vastly inferior to Ukraine, similar to Georgias, who Russia beat within LESS THAN a week.
2.
A. Ukraine does have a navy they had 1 Frigate that was scuttled during start of invasion and they had numerous patrol craft and mine ships but it's irrelevant because the Moskva was destroyed by an anti ship cruise missile, not sure if you know what how missles work but they are these rockets with explosives that can travel really far
B. Lmfao how was the black sea fleet defeated you utter r*tard ? It was literally just the Moskva, you realise the black sea fleet is made up of 1 Cruiser, 9 Frigates, 20 corvettes and 3 Submarines. You literally lost an aircraft Carrier in Vietnam to a country vastly inferior than Ukraine lmfao 🤣
3. I've already explained how Russia did the majority of the fighting again you've provided no counter arguments
4. Really show me a single video of Chinese, north Korean and Iranian soldiers and logistics helping Russia I'll wait, there's a difference between buying ammunition and Munitions and getting help with logistical issues and military service. If you can't understand that then you are even dumber than I think
5. Again Russia has captured numerous cities this year again I've already posted the stats with evidence
6. Afghan forces fought with you, so they are counted, that would be like ignoring British or french casualties in WWII for the allies just cherry picking at its finest and you're not including American supplied and trained Mercenaries
7. China's goal was to secure north Korea, they succeeded again I've already explained it and provided the stats
8. Phahahahahaha 😭😭😭😭😭 by 1944 the only soldiers on western front were conscripts, this is shown by the data, literally millions of German soldiers had already died on the eastern front
9.again I've already explained how much Ukraine is better, Ukraine has had double the worth in military supplies in a year than Vietnam did in 9 years lmfao 😅😆😆 and it's nit more expensive because i adjusted it for inflation
10. Us lost an average of 500 Helicopters a year and 100-300 planes a year, that's more than double what Russia has lost in nearly two years 😭😭😭😭
11. Russia literally has air superiority, they launch countless sorties every single day
So In conclusion you haven't rebuttedd a single thing I've said.
1. Russia is winning in Ukraine based on the stats
2. USA lost in Vietnam despite trying very hard
3. US military might is largely a myth as again the only countries they beat on their own doing most of the logistics and fighting post WWII is
Grenada
Nicaragua
Guatemala
Panama
Haiti
That's it, Iraq was a pathetic military yet the USA still needed massiv help and yet USA and allies still lost more aircraft in a month than Russia did in a month against Ukraine lmfao 😂
4. Even during WWII the only bit they really done was the Pacific campaign but again they had a lot of help by Britain, Netherlands, India and China, they did very little in Europe, in fact statistically speaking 70-80% of German
Artillery
Fighters
Fatalities
Surrenders
Wounded
Horses
Tanks
Half tracks
Bombers
Were all lost on the eastern front, literally nearly two thirds of total military forces on western front surrendered to USA and Britain and that's the other thing even on the western front they had massive help from Britain
WWII was basically
European theatre
Germany 70%
Italy 30%
USSR 80%
Britain 15%
USA 5%
North Africa Campaign
Britain 70%
USA 30%
Germany,90%
Italy 10%
Pacific campaign
USA 70%
Britain 25%
Others 5%
Japan 100%
5. In regards to Vietnam and Korea I really don't know why I have to repeat myself all the facts are in my part 4 argument, but US tried land operations early on but little success and failures meant they switched to defensive/minor offensive operations on ground and air campaign above, but thanks to soviet air defence systems and fighters the US wae losing 2-4x what Russia is losing in aircraft and when you look at what the US used in Vietnam how they never crushed Vietnam i will never know, suppose its just a combination of incompetence and better military commanders amd soldiers in Vietnam
Even in Afghanistan lmao the Taliban took over within a week of the USA leaving when the USSR left Afghanistan it's puppet government didn't collapse until a few months after the USSR collapsed years later 😂😭😭🤣
Honestly your military record is a joke, not saying the US military is weak or Russia is stronger, as Russia is the 4th most powerful military behind the USA which is 3rd, I'm just saying this idea that you are this invincible military that beats everyone is pure fantasy and based on lies
Your arguments are pathetic, I'm using stats, history, essays and Sources you're just crying and smoking copium and just saying the same things again and again and again yet providing no stats, history or evidence.
Pathetic, completely and utterly pathetic.
Just stop okay, take this moment to learn and stop pushing propoganda.

@Stephen-bq4nq
,*Russia Vs United States Military Record*
Part 2
7. Russia isn't even using close to its full strength, at my estimates and, Russia has around 30-60% of total Russian military assets are in Ukraine, it's so blatantly obvious you get your information from the western media, Russia literally only has it's black sea fleet in Ukraine which is 1 of its 5 fleets it has in strike group's around the world which only consisted of 1 Cruiser, 9 Frigates, 18 Corvettes and 7 Submarines whilst in Iraq (a far far far inferior military) USA and allies had 8 aircraft Carriers, 22 Helicopter Carriers, 2 battleships, 18 Cruisers, 30 Destroyers, 36 Frigates, 26 Corvettes and 4 submarine yet it still took them around a month to gain air superiority Not only that but Iraq had 890 fighter jets with over 50% being 2nd Gen J-6, Su-7 and MIG-21s and only having THIRTY SEVEN 4th gen fighters and they had 2,954 Air Defence Systems with over 70% of those being pre WWII to Korean war flak guns 🤣 against the coalitions 1,423 with over 60% 4+ gen aircraft and over 30 stealth fighters yet still took a month to gain air superiority and lost 43 aircraft lmao, that's only half of what Russia lost in a year 😂
8. Another argument American fanboys use, "we Outclassed Germany" You mean the severely weakened Germany in 1944 who most fighters simply surrendered, and before you use the lend lease cope
Lend lease delivered
Year. Ton. Per.
1941 360,778 2. 1%
1942 2,453,097 14%
1943 4,794,545 27.4%
1944 6,217,622 35.5%
1945 3,673,819 21%
USSR made
Heavy Tanks 80%
Fighters and bombers 70%
Small arms and ammunition 70%
Trucks 66%
Railway 15-30%
Agriculture 40-50%
Total USSR production by lend lease 18-31%
Direct quote from stats
Lend-Lease contributed to the Allied victory. Even after the United States forces in Europe and the Pacific began to attain full strength during 1943–1944, Lend-Lease continued. Most remaining Allies were LARGELY SELF-SUFFICIENT in frontline equipment (such as tanks and fighter aircraft) by this time but Lend-Lease provided a useful supplement in this category and Lend-Lease logistical supplies (including motor vehicles and railroad equipment) were of enormous assistance.
The USSR stopped German advance in in 41, and in late 41 to early 42 USSR began recapturing territory and this was when the amount of lend lease supplies given was just at 1% then in 42 it rose to 14%, so by the time the majority of the supplies were arriving the USSR already had Germany on the Backfoot, as for allied bombing and air campaigns, there was and I quote turning point in the bomber offensive was reached in March 1943 with major effectiveness resulting in reduced oil and armaments production reached in spring 44 as the USSR was pushing Germany back for 1-2 years at that point, so by the time British and American bombings had any real effect (seriously effecting manufacturing and logistics) in January 43, the USSR had began pushing Germany all the way back to Berlin, the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany in Europe after victory at Stalingrad in Feb 43 and this was a whole year before British and American bombings began to actually cripple German war production
Literally 70-90% of total German fighters, bombers, tanks, half tracks, horses, trucks, light vehicles, field guns, heavy artillery, flak guns, surrenders, wounded and Fatalities were on eastern front, more tanks were lost in some battles of eastern front than the whole north Africa campaign or western front
So the fact anyone brings up Germany as if it's a boast is ridiculous
9. Another cope, is that Russia Vs Ukraine is a Stalemate? 🤣 Russia has won more major and minor battles than Ukraine, controls nearly a quarter of the country, has air superiority, Ukraines counter offensive has failed with its goal territory being around 44,000km2 it only managed to capture less than 400 and their last major battle they won was last year and their last minor battle victory was months ago whilst Russia last major was their victory in Bakhmut and Soledar in January and march and last minor victory was in Krasnohorivka a few weeks ago and are preparing to assault Stepove anf and coke plant, Russia has captured nearly a 1,000 this year and is launching numerous offensives across the frontlines whilst Ukraine has been reduced to sending actual pregnant women to frontline, around start of November adviivka was 30% encircled now it's close to 80%, this is nothing like a stalemate, this is a clear case of one for side winning and the other losing
10. Another hilarious cope is "Russia is using old tanks" rubbish The T-72B and T-64B are 2.5 gen and 2nd gen upgraded to the 3rd gen with both having armoured upgrades with Rolled homogeneous armour with composite armour and ERA and T-64B has a 1V517 ballistic calculator, a 1G21 sight with laser telemetry and a 1B11 cross-wind sensor, whilst the T-72B has 9K120 Svir guided missile system, upgraded hull composite armour consisting of high-hardness steel plates and improved composites in the turret armour and the T-80 and T-90 are production 3rd gen and the Irony being the M1 Abrahams was designed in 70s and put in production in the 80 and even more irony consedering an old 2.5 gen T-72M destroyed an M1 Abrahams in gulf war, directly from Exact words of documents about bravo 23 from US Center of Military History
The battle had suddenly turned grim. A T-72 had hit bravo 23 in the rear exhaust exists. Bravo 23 took another hit from it's ambusher in the back of its turret the Iraqi Sabot blew through the armour and into the compartmented ammo storage area and set off an enormous explosion. The blast escaped through the blow out panels in the top turret, venting the explosion away from the Crew compartment, the halom suppression system kept fire out long enough for surviving crew to escape to safety before more ammo started to cook off and bravo 23 starting burning in earnest
11. In conclusion, the United States has a worse military record than Russia/USSR and the difference between Russia and the United States is that Russia doesn't need substantial help from others in both logistics and military matters and has actually won wars on its own

Russia Vs United States Military Record
Part 1
1. US military It's nothing to do with US hegemony, it's to do with the fact that unless it's a unbelievably pathetically easy enemy like Panama, Grenada, Nicaragua, Haiti etc. they will always get help even countries as a ridiculously easy as Iraq they had to get help and in Afghanistan when USA and allies lost more people in the war than Taliban and their allies did with US & allies losses at 76,951 and Taliban & allies losses 57,293 lmao and Countries only join the USA in their imperalist wars are the ones morally bankrupt enough to help because they get a cut of the pie like UK with USA in Iraq or USA getting NATO to help France get rid of Gaddafi for threatening their currency in the region turning lybia into a hell hole where as equal opponents as Iraq and Afghanistan, Georgia, Dagestan and Chechnya Russia did all the logistics on their own and all the military work in Dagestan and Chechnya and 90% of the military work in Georgia and crushed it within 5 days, it's exactly as Putin says, if Ukraine wasn't receiving weapons then they would have either A. Not had enough weapons and ammunition to fight their rebellion or B. They would have crumbled within a few months due to lack of ammunition, weapons and training and the embarrassing thing for USA is that it's doing better against Ukraine who is better funded than NVA was and only lost a fraction of the aircraft the US lost lmao in a lot less time
2. Russia won in Dagestan, Chechenya, Georgia and is winning in Ukraine, the Soviet war in Afghanistan was a military success, it's akin to USA war in Afghanistan, where they defeated conquered the country but failed to defeat the enemy.
3. A good bit propoganda is the T-55 MBT myth, people who watch this just screams they're just a average mainstream media/United24 watcher, the T-55s were brought out to use up as artillery as Russia has thousands in storage, I challenge you to find me a single video of Russia using a T-55 as an MBT, you won't because it's nonsense, it's nonsense because even when you look at Oryx losses of Russian MBT (which is funded by dutch government and legitimacy has been questioned) they say Russia has only lost around 2,501 (I have it at nearly 3,000) in Ukraine, Russia had around ~800 2nd Geb T-62, ~6,000 3rd gen T-72B+, T-80, T-64B+ and T-90 in active service with a few hundred 3.5 Gen T-80BVM and T-90M and a few dozen 4th gen T-14 tanks, they also had over 7,000 3rd gen T-72B, T-64B and T-80s in reserve and thousands upon thousands of T-64, T-72, T-55 and T-62 in storage from the collapse of the Soviet Union, yet you unironically think they have to use a T-55 as a MBT when even by biased estimates they've only lost less than half of their pre invasion active service (which according to my research they now have over 12,000 tanks in active service in Russia and Ukraine and only around 5,000 left in reserve), so yeah what's more likely that Russia decided to use up some old equipment as artillery or fire support or maybe to test it's combat effectiveness against modern systems (as again only ONE T-55A was ever seen) or russia has magically lost over 14,000 tanks and needs to use old 1st gen ones despite having vast air and Artillery superiority
4. My argument proves that united states military is vastly overrated, it's two wars (post WWII) were it faced tough opponents (with SUBSTANTIAL help aswell) they lost and got beat by china (China's goal was to liberate north Korea but they hammered the US so bad they kept going) what other fights has the US fought ? They fought in WWII, they fought well in the Pacific campaign but again they had a lot of help by Netherlands, Britain, British India and China. In north African campaign it was UK that did Majority of fighting and in European campaign the USSR did the vast majority of the work so much so that the USA, UK and other allies didn't fight a single seasoned soldier on western front as every single one was either on the eastern front or died in north Africa or eastern front, so what else, Iraq? This gets brought up all the time as if it's some great achievement, it's actually embarrassing it took them over a month to gain air superiority against a country who's majority air Force was made up of 2nd gen fighters that didn't even have modern avionics and who's air defence systems were mostly Autocannons
5. Standard cope for Vietnam is US held back in Vietnam lmfao, millions of soldiers, most of their air force, half their navy and over a trillion dollars adjusted for inflation lmfao, that's some premium cope, South Vietnam was under the control of The US backed dictatorship and the irony that they dropped more Munitions in the Vietnam war than all of WWII, also the USA tried land operations with south Vietnam dictatorship in mid 60s but poor success due to unfamiliarity with terrain and getting beat by better NVA commanders and overall poor results they turned to an air campaign but thanks to bunkers and great soviet air defence systems which resulted in USA losing close to 10,000 aircraft in 9 years, that's an average of over 1,000 aircraft a year or to put in perspective thats around 10x the aircraft Russia has lost 😭 and what's even more laughable when you account for the aid Vietnam had when accounting for inflation it clock out at $53,525,238,402-$61,556,312,076 in estimated military supplies over the period of war from 1964-1973 from china and USSR 🤣🤣 Ukraine has received just in military supplies, from 01/2022-07/2023 ~€34 billion from EU, ~$45 Billion from USA, ~£6 billion from UK and around $20 billion from various others, in a around a single year Ukraine has received over double the amount NVA received in ten times less time and yet Russia has only lost around under 200 aircraft in the whole 20 month war lmfao yet American fanboys claim Russia doesn't have air superiority because they lost around 150 in a year yet the USA was losing around 1,000 every year in Vietnam lmfao and remember can't claim I'm biased as this is from WESTERN SOURCES oryx 😭.
6. So why does the United States military have this Uber image, I'll tell you why, because of propoganda, lack of research, fanboyism, just pure good old fashioned copium and much like you just sheer ignorance

Truth About War by Sergy Serdyuk
Part 3B
Information on Russo-Ukranian War and Russo-Ukrainian Rebellion 14-23
Correct as of 17/12/2023
We'll base this on a single year of supplies.
• in vehicles 1,000-3,000 3rd gen tanks, 2,000-4,000 Infantry Fighting Vehicles & 1,000-3,000 Armoured personal carriers, 1,000-2,000 electronic warfare systems, 1,000-2,000 engineering vehicles, 2,000-4,000 towed artillery batteries, 1,000-3,000 Self propelled artillery batteries, 1,000-2,000 MLRS batteries and at least 1,000-2,000 long range air defence missle systems and 500-1,000 short range systems with at least 400 Autocannons.
• in aircraft 500-1,000 4th and 4+ Gen fighters with at least 100-200 4++ or 5th gen fighters, 200-400 attack aircraft and ay least 500 combat trainers. 300-600 attack helicopters, at least 1,000 helicopters and 100-500 special type aircraft.
•in equipment at least 20,000-40,000 MANPADS, 20,000-60,000 ATGMs and at least 500,000 RPGs
• the hundreds of ships, aircraft and vehicles involved in the logistics of such things
• based on number of vehicles from estimates of oil prices Ukraine probably needs 1.2 - 3.6 million barrles a day to sustain its invasion and we give them a year to fight we'll use this number
• Ukraine would also need to mobilize at least another 500,000 soldiers to tip the scales.
• Ukraine will have to produce at least 25,000 shells a month to overcome Russia artillery Superiority and capabilities in production.
Costs
$10,000,000,000-$30,000,000,000 in tanks
$4,000,000,000-$8,000,000,000 in IFVs

$15,600,000,000-$31,200,000,000 in attack helicopters
$10,000,000,000 in helicopters
$4,000,000,000-$20,000,000,000 in special type aircraft

$10,000,000,000 in RPGs
Equipment costs
$1,145,510,000,000 - $2,310,510,000,000

$13,000,0000,000 - $37,000,000,000
In fuel costs
$2,606,400,000 - $7,819,200,000
Soldiers training costs
$208,000,000
Munition costs
$8,200,000,000 - $44,080,000,000
Ammunition costs
$12,000,000 - $30,000,000
Total costs
$1,170,644,400,000 - $2,399,137,200,000
Somehow I don't think the United States or European Union will be willing to pay this much in one year and I don't think they would be willing to seriously weaken themselves by handing over so much military equipment to Ukraine remember I'm not even including naval assets, drones, utility Vehicles, armoured Vehicles, food, housing or the massive maintenance costs but realistically this is what it would take to completely defeat Russia and drive them out of Ukraine and Crimea for good (as long as Russia doesn't commit to total war and mass mobilization with war economy if that happened then only the full force of either the United States or European Union could defeat them) the pentagon said this in the leaks, so I think Brussels and Washington knows that this isn't a war Ukraine is going to win but rather try to pressure Russia into accepting terms that are somehow beneficial to Ukraine and the west. so my final assessment is I think this war will end with a Russian victory and Ukraine and Russia making a peace deal likely 2024-2025.

Correct as of 19/12/2023
Ongoing Situation
Only including battles and skirmish were fighting occurs so for example Russia capturing Sevastopol isn't counted as a major battle win for Russia (it was an operational victory) like Ukraine capturing Kherson isn't classes as a major win as Ukraine encountered no resistance and Russia retreated from Kherson voluntarily without fighting.
Population Centers
Metropolis 900,000+
Major city 400,000-899,999
City 100,000-399,999

Major Battle is any battle that takes place in small cities and or with large scale warfare.
Minor Battle is any battle that takes place within villages and towns and is usually smaller scale or with medium scale warfare l.
Skirmishes are any battles taken place in very small villages (Pop 0-99) or operations with assault squads or attacks on mission critical Military infrastructure or small scale battles.

Recap of russian invasion
Russian objectives at beginning were likely to capture Kiev and secure a fast victory but logistics and command issues combined with military aid and good fighting by Ukrainian forces this failed. Russia then retreated from Kiev and Sumy and re-deployed to the donbas were it launched its successful Donbas offensive, where I believe the goal was to secure the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkov, Kherson and Zaporozhia oblasts.
Russia was winning from it's defeat in its SMO however Ukraine launched 3 major counter attacks with the Kherson and Kharkov offensives being a success and the Zaporozhia Offensive failing, Reasons for these success can be attributed to poor logistics, leaving the Kharkov region solely defended by DPR and LPR troops who are mostly infantry with little artillery or armour support and the biggest issue being not mobilizing any men as Russia only deployed around 150,000 troops with 40,000 DPR & LPR troops when Ukraine had around ~300,000 Active Service and mobilized 700,000 men day one and offcourse Russia didn't gain air superiority until around October/November last year.
By the end of last year Ukraine was at best basically winning and at worst stalemate however this changed by march after Russia called up it's reservists, re organised the army and fixed it's logistics issues, I believe now Russia is looking to grind down ukranian soldiers then advance slowly, we seen this in Bakhmut were it was revealed Prigozin got in trouble by the RAF because they didn't want him to capture bakmhut
Current Military Situation
Russia still has air and Artillery superiority across majority of Ukraine and frontlines, each country is fighting various skirmishes, Ukraines Spring 2023 Counter Offensive has failed with capturing only ~400km2 out of the ~44,000km2 territorial goals of Zaporozhia and Crimea. Leading Russia to begin it's Kharkov and Donetsk Offensive operations with Russia capturing a net gain of over 600km2 this year and Ukraine losing around 300km2 despite gaining around 400km2 in its 2023 counter offensive.
Russia has offensives in 19 areas with 3 operational offensives. Ukraine has offensives in 4 areas with 1 operational offensives. Russia has captured the village of Khomove and city of Marinka and is advancing on numerous fronts, Adveevka is nearly 80% encircled with the south eastern part in russian control, Russia has also all but defeated the Ukrainian operations in Verbove, just waiting on confirmation. It's also attacking in Robityne.
Ukraine has largely moved towards defensive operations with minor offensive operations in Nestermianka, Krynky, Verbove and Huliaipole and is still holding strong in Stepove, Krynky and Sinkyvka.
Political Recap
Ukraine is facing a tough challenge, there is feud in its high command between it's top general and zelensky, with polls showing ukranian public support of zelensky and his government has fallen 20% since last year whilst the military still has a large support,
Russia is largely stable since the short lived Wagner insurrection, United Russia remains high in the polls and public opinion of Putin remains high, there has been some terrorist attacks against Russian civilians especially in Belgorod region but nothing major likely by Ukrainian backed "anti Putin" russians.
Economic Recap
Ukraines economy is largely finished with around 30-40% drop in economic output post war with a drop of 7.3% this quarter and inflation at 17.7% with its GDP nominal at $175 Billion and PPP $430 Billion at and its GDP nominal per capita at $5,200 and per capita PPP $14,300. It also has very large debts of around $200 billion to the IMF, European Union and United States along with its massively diminished labour force and it's defence budget is over 20% of GDP and over 90% of Tax revenue.
Russias economy is largely fine with net growth of around 8% post war with a growth of 2.2% this quarter and inflation at 5.4% with a GDP Nominal of $2 Trillion and GDP PPP of $5 Trillion with GDP PPP per capita at $34,837 and per capita nominal at $14,404. However due to sanctions from the United States and European Union it is now in sovereign default with the IMF, World Bank and western creditors and thus it's market cap has tanked and it's currency has been devalued around 10% and it's defence budget has increased to 4.4% of GDP and around 20% of tax revenue.
Assessment
Russia is winning and has been winning since it captured Soledar, Ukrainian morale is very low with estimated Fatalities from independent sources for the end of year estimated to hit a low of 110,000 to a high of just under half a million and expect 4-6 Villages and towns to fall within next month and adveevka to fall within 2-4 months and battles in Kupyansk, Izyum and Lyman to start within 6 months, however the United States and European Union and it's states have new $60 billion and €30 Billion military packages awaiting approval and a further €52 billion in financial aid from the European Union.
if these are approved this will certainly prolong the conflict and they could achieve a breakthrough in certain areas especially in north east where Russia is relatively weakest as Russia is running low of reserves of IFVs, APCs, SPAs, Howitzers and AA Autocannons as reports suggest they have began bringing out and re servicing BMP-1, BTR-60, ZSU-23-4, D30s and 2S1s from storage to bolster their depleted reserves aswell as the fact that it's thought that Russia has depleted around 60-80% of its artillery and missle stocks having to buy shells from china, iran and north Korea to re stock and there have been some growing upset in russian Infantry over waste of lives (high cost in adveevka)
However it's not known if these military packages will reach Ukraine as the failure of counter offensive with Ukraine receiving at that point already over $100 billion in military supplies, aid countries are becoming concerned that this is going to either be a waste of money or it's going to cost a lot more for victory
A lot more is putting it lightly, even with the new ~$100 billion in military supplies, Ukraines wins would be minimal at best maybe 20,000-40,000km2/110,000km2 if it performed as well as its Kharkov counter Offensive. Realistically it will take a MASSIVE commitment of equipment to completely defeat and drive out Russia from all of Ukraine, I will base these numbers on what Ukraine has had and what they've gained and how much Russia is using and historical proxy wars and cost of historical wars and cost equipment used.

@Stephen-bq4nq @Stephen-bq4nq @Stephen-bq4nq @Stephen-bq4nq what a load of utter nonsense
I've already explained what Ukraine has in terms of equipment and air defence systems so you have no argument there
Old equipment?
M1A1 SA Abrams
Leopard 2A4/5/6
Challenger 2
MIM-104 Patriot
M109A5
M777
Strykers
M1117
CV-90
Bulldog
AIFV
KTO Rosomak
Boxer
NASAMS
Iris-Ts
Crotacas
Aspide
Stormer
SAMP/T
ARTHUR
Ground Master 200
Thales
VERA
AN/TPQ-36
AN/MPQ-64
AN/TPQ-37
COBRA
Krabs
Zuzana 2s
Caesars
Archer
AS-90
Pzh-2000
These are either top of the line NATO equipment or used in frontline equipment roles
Lmfao never allowed to fight in noth Vietnam what an utter load of nonsense, they literally turned to an air campaign they launched millions of sorties over Vietnam but USSR air defence systems ripped them to bits
I've already explained everything, US got beat fair and square
Wtf are you dense ? I've just given you what Iraq had, how did they have the latest russian equipment? In 1991 the latest russian equipment was stiff like T-80U, T-72BV, T-64BU, BMP-2MD, BMP-1S, Tor and Buk systems, S-300, 2S19, 2S3M, 2S7M, BM-27, BM-30, TOS-1, Mi-35P, Ka-50, Mi-28, MIG-29M, MIG-31B and Su-30
They had NONE of this stuff literally their army consisted of T-55 and T-54, their most advanced stuff was 2.5 gen T-72M which they only had 600-1000 , MIG-29 which they only had 37!! Lmfao
It's obvious you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I've literally already explained the stats you're just coping.
Russia has a better post WWII military record than the USA and US military might is a myth and Russia is wrecking Ukraine

Truth About War and the US military by Sergy Serdyuk
Part 4 US losses in Vietnam and Korea
What a load of Nonsense, US spent over a decade in Vietnam, millions of soldiers, most of their navy and air force and they and dropped more Munitions than all of WWII yet you think they weren't trying or were not committed lmfao
1. The US did try, when they first invaded they tried land operations with allies but difficult terrain and inexperience with jungle warfare along with NVA having better commanders in this type of warfare, from their war with France, proved massive issues. So they turned to a defensive campaign on ground and made their offensive an air campaign but this too was ineffective thanks to USSR air defence systems, bunkers and tunnels and the sheer will of the NVA fighting evil invaders, let's look at the actual numbers
US & Allies
USA Fatalities 58,281
USA Wounded 303,644
South Vietnam Wounded 1,117,000
South Vietnam Fatalities 313,000-545,000
South Vietnam Captured 1,000,000
Laos Fatalities 15,000
Khmer Fatalities 20,000
South Korea Fatalities 4,099
Australia Fatalities 521
Australia wounded 3,129
Thailand fatality 351
New Zealand Fatalities 61
Total wounded ~1,422,773
Total missing or captured ~1,000,000
Total Fatalities ~414,412-643,343
NVA
North Vietnam Fatalities 666,000-950,125
North Vietnam wounded 600,000
North Vietnam captured 232,000-300,000
China Fatalities 1,100
China wounded 4,200
USSR Fatalities 16
North Korea 14
Total Fatalities ~667,130-951,255
Total wounded ~605,300+
Total missing or captured ~232,000-300,000+
Vietnam and China in Korean war were two actually tough opponents because NVA was funded by USSR and China was forever warriors fighting what they viewed as evil, proxy wars are tough, just look at Ukraine, Russia is winning but it's a tough fight because of all the military aid they gave received, if russia wins in Ukraine it makes US loss in Vietnam and Korea look very bad, especially since they are the only two militaries that were decent, never mind the fact the US has tremendous help, honestly when people talk about how great US military is, I just think why do you think this, because their record certainly doesn't back that statement up, US is one of the 5 Military Superpowers and 3rd most powerful military on earth but that's it, not the invincible super military that people imply l
same non argument American use in Korea completely ignoring the fact in Korea, literally south Korea, USA, Britain, Australia, France, Netherlands, Belgium, turkey and many others fought against China and north Korea with the logistical support from many others
Here's the actual stats. Left is actual numbers recorded and right is highest estimates.
UN Coalition & South Korea
2,957,797~3,257,797
UN Coalition & South Korea
802,491-2,085,000

569,849-789,000
Missing
116,827-303,000

124,566-215,000
united states couldn't even defeat Vietnam, Vietnam had when accounting for inflation it clock out at $53,525,238,402 - $61,556,312,076 in estimated military supplies over the period of war from 1964-1973 from china and USSR 🤣🤣 Ukraine has received just in military supplies, from 01/2022-07/2023 €34 billion from EU, $45 Billion from USA, £6 billion from UK and around $20 billion from various others, in a around a single year Ukraine has received over double the amount NVA received in ten times less time
US got absolutely wrecked by Vietnam

500+ US tanks lost
200+ US APCs and IFVs lost
500+ ARVN APCs and IFVs lost
300+ ARVN tanks lost
1 USN aircraft Carrier sunk (salvaged)
US military record is awful for the amount of air and naval power they used in Vietnam not time mentin having around 1,200 tanks, 3,000 APCs & IFVs, 600+ artillery guns, 13,000 helicopters, 6,000 planes, 1,000 UAVs, over 200 major warships and over 20 aircraft Carriers and over 400 gun boats thet should have CRUSHED Vietnam, for context against Ukraine a superior opponent Russia only has it's black sea fleet which was 1 Cruiser 9 Frigates 18 corvettes and 7 Submarines and only around 800-1,400 aircraft 😭🤣 and it's only losy a fraction what the US and allies lost
American fanboys claim Russia doesn't have air superiority when Americans lost around on average 20-50 drones a year, 100-300 planes every year, 400-500 helicopters a year and allies who lost around 100 aircraft a year, US and allies lost on average nearly 100 tanks a year and nearly 50 APCs and IFVs a year this was again even though the war was mostly an air war. when Russia has only lost 92 planes and 138 helicopters and around 329 drones (although these see a lot more usage than back then)in nearly two years 🤣
When you consider the fact that this was at a time when the US, along with the USSR, was a great military superpower, whilst China had just finished it's civil war which started not long after WWII against Japanese, compared to US navy there's was pitiful and their land force was tiny in comparison aswell, Korea (like modern Ukraine and Many other wars) that sometimes technology, firepower, tank, artillery and air superiority isn't always enough to win against a foe who is determined and has the numbers, it was so bad for the US that it resulted in their longest military retreat in US history, it was so had that nuclear weapons were seriously considered because of how bad the situation war was going but it was thought it would just escalate things and cause full on war with China and because China had very little actual vehicles and sub par logistics and was really just an incredibly effective miltias as they were pretty much spent fighting the civil war
The Vietnam war is even more funny because US fanboys always cope with losing by saying "we lost far less" yet again if you count all forces that fought with US like south Vietnam then it's actually I think around equal or even worse but regardless even if it wasn't, it was a failure on all fronts, it's political objectives to stop spread of communism to south was a failure and it's military objectives to defeat the NVA was a failure, and the US tried it's hardest, literally millions of soldiers, numerous aircraft Carriers, dozens of warships, they tried to invade it at the start but gave up when little progress was being made and reverted to an air campaign, they dropped more Munitions than was dropped in all of WWII yet you think they weren't trying 🤣🤣 the US might have a better overall military and is 3rd most powerful and Russia is 4th out of the 5 military Superpowers but that doesn't mean the US would win, it's a 50/50 between all the 5 military Superpowers at full strength, it's obvious you're Clueless
I don't know why people can't admit this, as a Russian I can happily admit we got our ass handed to us in first Chechnyan war, no excuses, no buts, just was beat by the better force at the time and gave up and left, granted when Putin got in power and Chechnya extremists bombed Dagestan we crushed them but still the point remains, military super powers are not invincible especially when like in Korea and Ukraine when they are only operating at half strength (partial mobilization of reserves for Russia and extended conscription to new territories incase of conscription, Limited draft for USA and both only operating limited war economies and not throwing everything like both did in WWII)

And remember Iraq and Afghanistan were mostly insurgency wars and even at peak in gulf war Iraq's air defence capabilities were a fraction that of Ukraines and united states has SUBSTANTIAL help in all of these conflicts especially naval help, so against Ukraine Russia lost in a year what the USA and allies lost in a month and that's against a vastly superior military lmao
When you take into account how much massive help the US had, how much they committed to it themselves, the massive logistical help they had and the fact that out of Iraq's 890 combat aircraft 695 of them were outdated 2nd and 3rd gen fighters, these aircraft date back to the Korean war before fighters even had modern avionics and radar capabilities and Iraq only had 37 4th gen fighters and out of 2,154 air defence systems only 554 were air defence missle systems, all of which were outdated, pair this with Ukraine who only has 79 outdated fighters that were in storage and 371 4th gen fighters in active service and storage and out of its 3,677 air defence systems it has 1,292 air defence missle systems of which vast majority are considered modern systems even cutting edge stuff like IRIS-T SL, SPADA, SAMP/T and Skyshield.

Truth About War and the US military by Sergy Serdyuk
Part 2A Truth about Russia military progress in Ukraine
Since2014 Ukraine has been fortifying it's defensive positions along it's eastern borders with Russia and has been recieving NATO supplies and training in facing Russia military tactics since then, Russia mobilized around 100-150,000 troops in initial invasion, whilst Ukraine already had hundreds of thousands along border due to ongoing conflict with rebels, Ukraine then enacted marshall law and mobilized around 700,000 men, combine this with the fact that late 2015 Ukraine started recieving NATO training in russian tactics from USA and European Union.
Russia absolutely underestimated Ukraine, they were hoping for a quick victory, but when EU and US weapons, armoured units and ammunition started arriving, it wasn't go to be a quick victory, Russia second mistake was not mobilising men, Russia had a larger force but 150,000 isn't enough to use it to its full potential even now at 300,000-400,000 it's not enough as most T-72s, BTRs, BMP-1s are seen behind the defend lines sitting in columns protected by air defence batteries like the S-300 or Tor and Buk missle systems but the point is they waited too long to mobilize and Ukraine mobilized 700,000 men right away, their third and last major mistake so far was leaving the entire kharkiv oblast to DPR and LPR troops who were mostly just infantry with little armoured units, no match for Ukraine when they stormed in with their Leopard 2s, Bradleys and T-72s supported by Su-27s and MIG-29s but since January this year, Russia has mobilized it's reservists, created it's defensive positions and has ramped up armaments production at its tank, aircraft and Munition factories and is winning.
The recent failed counter offensive was devised by NATO and Ukrainian commanders, Ukraine had plenty of leopards, Bradleys, Challengers, BTRs, T-72s to punch through, they had plenty of air defence batteries and manpads to punch a hole in Russia's air superiority in the region with the Patriots, NASAMS, Iris-Ts and Crotacas along with Stingers and they had over two dozen Su-25s and MIG-29 to provide air support for their armour after punching the hole and they had plenty of artillery batteries to combat Russia artillery superiority in the region, they absolutely failed because NATO tactics just assume you defeat enemy air superiority and that's that because against countries with little air power and air defence capabilities and no production capabilities
Russia is literally fighting NATO, this is a proxy war, the US proxy war ith USSR in Vietnam lasted over a decade and in failure, so far Russia has taken around 20% of the country and has held it for over a year, the recent Ukrainian counter offensive has been a massive failure, Russia is winning in Ukraine and has been since January the stats clearly show this, Ukraine is a more of challenge than Iraq and Afghanistan combined and Russia isn't getting direct military help from 4-6 other countries aswell along with logistical support from dozens of countries, when you look at what Ukraine military capabilities were pre invasion and what Iraq 1990 was you'd comparing them is laughable, and I think it's so ironic that Americans have short memories, the larmst time America fought a proxy war they lost and the last time they fought an opponent they were vastly superior to in military equipment (China in 50s) they couldn't beat them, because people who actually fight for what they believe in fight hard and especially when they have the numbers, Ukraine has the numbers, Russia has the equipment, if Russia wanted to destroy Ukraine it could, just like if the US wanted to destroy Vietnam they could have but it would mean greatly ramping up war production and starting full war economy, Russia has hundreds of strategic bombers it could flatten Ukraine but it doesn't want to because it's fighting for my people, my people who the west pretend don't exist, right now Russia has had air superiority for nearly a year and is advancing on three different areas and has nearly encircled adviivka.
Let's look at the financials, since 2014 in military supplies and aid Ukraine received €17 billion from EU and $44 Billion from USA, now since January 2022 to July 2023 in military supplies €34 Billion from European Union, $46 Billion from USA, £4 Billion from UK and over $20 billion dollars from various others, in financial & Humanitarian aid Ukraine has received €77 Billion from European Union, $30 Billion from USA, £2 billion From UK and over $11 billion from various others.so in 2022-2023 that's around $103 Billion in military supplies and around $120 Billion in financial & Humanitarian aid, so between 2014-2022 Ukraine received $63 Billion and from 01/22-07/23 Ukraine received $223 billion on top of Ukraine $30 Billion defence budget taking total up to $253 billion with $133 billion in military supplies, Russias defence budget for 2022-2023 was only $84 Billion and for context $103 billion is around double what Vietnam received in 9 years from the USSR and PRC yet USA absolutely fumbled the bag there.
New pledged funding in military supplies for 2024 is to include $60 billion from USA, €30.7 Billion from European Union and it's states, $4 billion from Japan, £2 billion from UK, €500 million from NATO, $385 million from Canada and $74 million from Australia. In financial & Humanitarian aid, €52 Billion from EU, $1 billion from Japan and $390 million from South Korea. There's also the ~$9 million to $217 million every month in shells, grenades, mines, tank rounds, high calibre rounds and small arms ammunition, the European Union, United States and United Kingdom produce every month for Ukraine.

Truth About War and the US military by Sergy Serdyuk
Part 1 Myth of American military might
In the gulf war the US, British, Argentine, Italian, Canadian and French forces after months of preparations attacked iraq over 5 weeks of bombings and attacks with logistical support from 33 countries against a country that was already severely weakened by its 8 year war and crippling economic sanctions and remember this is Iraq most of its equipment was WWII to Vietnam war era stuff, let's go over what Iraq had
this myth that Iraq in 1990 was the 4th most powerful military is laughable, this was before the European Union was united as it is today so you're trying to tell me that Britain, France, Italy, Spain, West Germany, Turkey, South Korea, Pakistan, India, China, Vietnam, Brazil, you're trying to tell me that only ONE of them was stronger than Iraq lmao, as obviously the USSR and US are either first or second (whatever you're criteria is) so if Iraq is 4th then only one of the above can be 3rd lmao I think you and others are confusing most powerful with largest, it might have been the 4th largest but that doesn't equate most powerful, especially when you look at what most of Iraq's army was compromised of WWII to Korean war era tanks, IFVs, rocket systems, artillery batteries and fighters.
Iraq was literally crippled by the Iran war, between 100,000-500,000 Kia and over 400,000 wounded, losing thousands of tanks, IFVs, vehicles, artillery batteries and hundreds of fighters and helicopters, it crippled their economy as well costing over 8 years what is today over a half a trillion dollars.
Then there's this idea that Iraq was a fair or tough fight (equal to Ukraine lmao as if Iraq had anything close to what Ukraine had or even anything close to the military support Ukraine has received) is laughable,the country was blockaded and under heavy economic sanctions for years and it didn't have the infrastructure or labour like Iran did, US spent numerous months building it's fortifications and had help from British navy and armoured units and the ridiculous technological advantage and clear lack of air defence capabilities and useful fighters to fight coalition air superiority, it's hilarious how people think the gulf war was this lightning fast war when it was 6 months of preparations by US, British, Argentine, Italian, Canadian and French forces then over 5 weeks of bombings and attacks with logistical support from 33 countries against a country that was already severely weakened by its 8 year war and crippling economic sanctions, Iraq didn't even have CLOSE to the best soviet weaponry lmao
Then in 2003 after Iraq was crippled by gulf war, Second gulf war is even more laughable as Iraq was absolutely crippled with little to no air defence capabilities and military power, literally 8/10 of all Saddam's military forces surrendered and even still took over a month even though it was the US, UK, Australia and Poland
then there was Afghanistan a country that didn't even have a navy or air force and had more or less a militia with few vehicles, was attacked by US, UK Canada, Germany, Italy and New Zealand with Logistical help from 46 countries, or even the two wars that ended US lost and got beat, Vietnam US had help from Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, South Korea and South Vietnam with logistical help from Cambodia and Laos and finally the Korean war were the UN comprised of USA, UK, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Philippines, New Zealand, Thailand, Ethiopia, Greece, France, Colombia, Belgium, South Africa, Netherlands and Luxembourg with logistical help from Sweden, India, Denmark, Norway, Italy, West Germany, Israel, Taiwan, Japan, Pakistan, Uruguay, El Salvador, Spain and Yugoslavia, even WWII the US never fought alone with majority of the fighting done in Europe by USSR and majority of fighting done in west Africa by Britain, even the Pacific campaign of WWII against Japanese the US had help from UK, China, Netherlands, British India and USSR and WWI was mostly won by Britain, France and Russia with USA joining in last year when Germany was losing and Austria Hungary was crippled.

Notice the difference
The United States spends exactly $761,681,000,000 on its defence and the fact you think military budget is be all and end all is just the cherry on top of your ignorance pie I guess you think Nazi Germany and imperal Japan would easily win WWII as they spent most on their militaries, your hypocrisy is limitless you barge on about how Russia couldn't possibly beat US because it's taking its time with Ukraine a military on paper is much weaker but yet the US actually failed to defeat Vietnam a country much weaker than Ukraine and and failed to beat China at a time when the US and USSR were dominant military Superpowers, if that's not hypocrisy I don't know what is.
in conclusion my point is that the US military might is vastly overstated as they have a lot of help in every single major modern conflict they have fought in modern times except for haiti, Dominican Republic, Panama, Grenada and Nicaragua and my point is that the US would probably do just as well as Russia is in Ukraine on its own as Russia is a military superpower and has much of the same capabilities and stocks, (for what's being used in Ukraine anyway) especially when you look at the fact that the last time the US fought a proxy war or a tough opponent (with a lot of help aswell) they lost and couldn't win, these clowns who think the US would pull of a desert storm 2.0 are exactly that, clowns, I think I've said everything that needs to be said.
Ukraine is vastly vastly superior military than Iraq, Iraq had 890 fighter jets with over 50% being 2nd Gen J-6, Su-7 and MIG-21s and only having THIRTY SEVEN 4th gen fighters and they had 2,954 Air Defence Systems with over 70% of those being pre WWII to Korean war flak guns with only 554 missle systems pair this with Ukraine who has 3,547 air defence systems and 655 fighter jets, with over 50% being 4th gen fighters and 1,093 of those air defence systems being missle systems the rest being mostly self propelled Autocannons with some flak guns. Literally erally most of Iraqs tanks were 3,000-4,000 1st gen T-55s and T-54s wity around 600-1,000 2.5 gen T-72M whilst Ukraine had nearly 2,000 3rd gen T-72B, T-64B and T-80s and that's not including the 1,000+ in storage alonh with over 50 3.5 gen T-84, not too mention that most of Iraqs equipment was WWII to Vietnam war era stuff whilst much of Ukraine was more modern with BARSS-8, 2S22, 2S19, OTR-21, TOS-1, BM-27 and BM-30 self propelled artillery and MLRS batteries and this isn't including the $103 billion in military aid post 2022.

@patrickbateman312 the fact you say a NATO APC beat a T72, shows you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, keep smoking the copium bro, this counter offensive was lead by NATO trained and supplied commanders and look how well it's going, this just shows how good NATO is, the US hasn't faced an equal opponent since WWII, their entire modern doctrine is based on anti insurgency, this failed counter offensive just shows what would happen to NATO.
Let's remind the world, when the US was in Korea, at the time they had one of the world's largest navy and air force, they had 1/3 of their air force there, most of their navy and majority of their soldiers, what happened when they faced China, a country at the time was little more than a militia, had no navy and little to no air force and very little tanks and IFVs, yet they absolutely HUMILIATED US soldiers, so bad infact that it resulted in the longest military retreat in US history 🤣, it was so bad that mccarthur wanted to nuke China because his forces were constantly getting whooped, so yeah make fun all you want bro, the US will always be remembered for losing to a country that had a military 300 times less funded than its own 🤣🤣🤣

@frost3840 they would have ran out of ammunition and supplies ages ago if it wasn't for NATO, it's honestly hilarious how dumb people can be, it's like thinking Vietnam managed to beat the US all by themselves, completely forgetting the tremendous amount of soviet supplies.
Same here, it's honestly baffling some of the takes from people, from saying Russias has no weapons left, they're always drunk, they are fleeing, they're not a modern military, it's honestly a shocking indictment of the education system that so many people fail to distinguish between truth and propoganda, it's crazy.

@MrZlocktar well a lot of that is true but even if US does cut support to Ukraine they still have the EU, UK, Canada, Australia and South Korea providing arms and munitions, based on military supplies I'd like say they need both the US and EU to stop sending weapons as it's those two that provide most of the weapons and ammunition for it to seriously reduce Ukraines ability, it's also Brussels and Washington that stoked this conflict with Brussels promising to pay Ukraine debt off on condition of cutting ties with Russia and promised EU membership and US was promising NATO membership.
The maiden riots and coup in 2014 can largely be blamed on Washington and Brussels, all so that Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Rheinmetall, BAE, Leonardo, Czech Defence Systems and Dassault can make bank

@TheWolfDude91
SERGY MILITARY RANKINGS
Part 1B Rankings & Jargon
JARGON
Version 1 was my original attempt, was very basic, just had numbers of tanks, AFVs, self propelled artillery, fighters, helicopters, Destroyers , frigates, Subs, carriers etc.
Version 2 was still very simple but added production capabilities and logistics to my SMR.
Version 3 saw the distinction of tank and aircraft generations added along with ATGMs and Manpads, I also added distinction of submarines and different ship classes, aswell as economical capability, natural resources and combat Manpower as well as air defence systems. By now I had refined my sources, I had purchased latest edition Military Balance and was subscribed to military organisations like Global Security, this is when I created my SMR jargon although basic.
Version 4 saw massive improvements, with additions of VLS Cells, Torpedoes, ASMs, SAMs, ASWs etc. to navy ship capabilities
, along with different types of engineering Vehicles and electronic warfare systems with distinctions to attack helicopters, trainer combat aircraft and special type aircraft. Also added distinction between advanced and standard vehicles. I also added basic information to my jargon.
Version 5 is the current version and was a 'beast' of an update, on top of V4 I added, 5 factors to to define naval capabilities along with ATGM, manpad and IFV generations, distinctions to each variants of equipment so for example AH-64E/D or Ka-52/M owned by countries, number of ships in mothball and how many ships in construction. I also extensively overhauled logistics, production capabilities and natural resources along with adding distinction to very short to long range SAMs and ASMs. My SMR jargon also had massive improvements with sections on Navy, Army, Air force etc. going into detail about my qualifying for certain generations of equipment and explaining what certain equipment and weapons systems are for. Quite simply not to brag but it's near perfect, if you enjoy military capabilities as I do you'll love this, unless you're a X or Y country fanboy who is delusional because their preferred country isn't highest or a country they hate isn't lower (more often than not it's Americans crying because they're not first)
Version 6 is my planned next update, believe it or not I do have a life lol and it takes an incredible amount of time and effort to not just research this information but to cross reference everything, source everything and copy it into a format. Regardless I'm thinking it would add firepower capabilities to air force, aswell as an upcoming equipment section for each country like EU and US 6th gen fighter FCAS and NGAD, Russian Stealth bomber and fleet carrier SU-PAKDA & Shturm or Chinas EMG Rail Gun or United Kingdom 4th gen tank Challenger 3. Will also likely add a full technological jargon section. The biggest undertaking is going to add a section on the capabilities of individual weapons and vehicles and to overhaul my qualifying criteria for military rankings.
For stocks working prototypes like B-21, J-31 and S-70 are counted towards stocks however technology demonstrators like OpFires and X-51 are not as Technology demonstrators are not fully capable systems and usually either fail a lot or don't always reach expectations were as the working prototype have full capabilities but are used for real world combat and technical refinement testing.
00 numbers in active service, so this means how many are in active service or are available for use by military forces.
(00) numbers in permanent storage, this means equipment that is kept in storage so for example the USA has generally hundreds of aircraft in storage like AH-1J, UH-60, KC-135, P-3, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, M114 and hundreds to thousands of vehicles like M2 Bradley, MIM-104 Patriot, MIM-23 Hawk, M1A1 Abrams, M270 and M109 all in permanent storage. Russia for example has dozens to hundreds of aircraft like Mi-24V, Mi-2, MiG-31, MiG-27M, MIG-25BM, MiG-23MLD and generally thousands of vehicles like 2S9, 2S12, D30, D20, 2S1, 2S3, 9K33M3 Osa-AKM, S-200D, 2K12E Kub, BM-27, ZSU-23-4, ZU-23-2, MT-LB, BMP-1D, BMD-2, BMD-1, BMP-1, T-72B+, T-62, T-80U, T-55M5 and BTR-60 in storage. For electronic heavy equipment it is estimated that after 10-20 years, around 20-40% of this equipment simply no longer works due to degradation and would require extensive repairs possibly beyond cost effective range, with that number rising to 40-60% with every extra decade or two. For aircraft this number is significantly higher likely around 70-90% for half the time frame although it's likely to be still more cost effective to replace aged electronics and components that build fresh, especially 4th Gen.
{00} numbers in reserve. These are numbers of vehicles that are kept in operational reserve which basically means storage but are maintained to be kept operational, so for example the USA keeps large numbers of F-15s, F-16s, AH-64s, B-52s and A-10s in operational reserve. Were as Russia has hundreds to thousands of BMP-1s, BM-21s, Su-27SM2+, 2S1s and D-30s in operational reserve they did have large numbers of T-72B2+, BMP-2, BTR-60 and BTR-70 but these have been pulled into active service to replace lost equipment, statements suggest Russia has began bringing equipment out of storage like recently they brought 1,900 tanks from storage and upgraded them (or repaired them) to 3rd gen capabilities, deliveries began in 2024.
My overall ranking system is based on 9 factors that I believe are relevant to military capabilities.
Army so this is a countries land force capabilities so stuff like Tanks, artillery Guns, SAM Launchers etc this category is defined by two factors, numbers of vehicles, technological generation of vehicles and firepower of said equipment, so for example 10 3.5 or 4th gen tanks is better than 20 3rd gen tanks, it's a simple ½ rule i follow, for example 20 4th gen to 40 3rd gen to 80 2nd gen to 160 1st gen. This is proven by real world examples like in Iraq and Ukraine when a single M1A1 Abrams took out several 1st gen Type 59s and T-54s or war in Ukraine when a single T-90M took out several T-72Bs and Leopard 2A4s, offcourse it's not definitive as in same conflicts a T-72A destroyed an M1A1 Abrams and a T-64B destroyed a T-90M.
Air Force this is a countries stocks of total aircraft, including fighters, attack aircraft, AEWAC Aircraft, helicopters etc. this is decided by purely number of aircraft and capabilities however possibly in Update 6, Firepower could be added so amount of hardpoints, ordinance Capacity and Autocannons.
Navy this is a countries sea capabilities which are based on 5 factors, number and variety of warships, logistical abilities, production capabilities, naval capabilities of active Warships and resupply and Repair Capabilities.
Logistical Abilities are countries logistics so things like railways, population, labour force, roadways, military bases, trucks, civilian vehicles, satellites, ships etc.
Production Capabilities are a countries manufacturing capabilities like number of military factories, materials production and what percentage of global production they have.
Combat Manpower is a countries total Combat trained population so active service military, reserves, paramilitary and police forces.
Military Technology is a countries technological capabilities regarding military weapons like generations of missles, tanks, ATGMs, manpads, radars and so on, only in production weapons count or weapons passed prototype testing with definitive date set for production and only if they are made by that country or their defence contractors so for example US hypersonic missles and ERBVRAAMs aren't counted towards their abilities as they are just prototype and have no date for production and the K2 Black Panther and F-35 aren't counted as 4th gen tanks and 5th Gen fighters for EU as they are not built by them. Countries tech are rated ✔️ and ❌, ✔️ for highest tech known and ❌ for other, whoever scores highest numbers of ✔️ gets highest place and if it's draw they are equal.
Natural Resources is a countries capabilities for resources, so we include number of resource facilities like offshore oil rigs and LNG Refineries, we also include energy so how many power plants and power production and we also include production, reserves and consumption of Liquid Natural Gas, Oil and Coal.
Economic Capital this is a country's total economic power, so we base this on 3 factors, Gross Domestic Product like GDP Nominal & GDP PPP, Spending and Trade so tax revenue and expenses, defence spending, foreign reserves & gold Reserves and credit and debt so amount of foreign investment, market cap, credit rating & global current account.

SERGY MILITARY RANKINGS
Part 1A Rankings & Jargon
(Updated every 30 days, correct as of 25/01/2024)
Hello friends welcome to the SMR or Sergey Military Rankings, if you love military capabilities or want to know just how capable a country is of engaging in warfare then you've come to the right place as I guarantee this is the most detailed log of military power you've seen, except maybe for IISS Military Balance, although some of their numbers are questionable based on my own research as especially with China and Russia a lot can remain speculative, but regardless I'm not charging $600 for my information lol it's free to all, my goal is to simply inform, feel free to share with anyone, my SMR is designed for all.

Methodology
For military stocks get base number of vehicles and stocks from my stock sources such as latest The Military Balance, Global Firepower, Global Security, Military Factory etc. then cross reference numbers and stocks with other sites and various governments and defence contractors and military organisations, then get all numbers together and get an average between each numbers from each source to arrive to conclusion unless they all agree because some sources are wildly different for example for china J-20 lowest estimate from War Power have it at 115, with Military balance being around 200 and EUAtimes being 400 so averaged it off at 250, another example being Irans rocket boats, global security has them at 2,000, military balance at 3,000-5,000 so went with 3,000 and final example being Russia T-14 Armata, Global Security and Military Balance have it at low tens around 30 but government agencies have said mid tens, military factory said 45 and Russian groups have said around 100. So gave it an average of 40
Numbers of stocks in storage is very hard to guage some of it is by Manuel counting like aircraft and tank boneyards, others is digging up vehicles or equipment made Vs destroyed, sold or scrapped then getting an average from various sources unless they all agree, I want to be as accurate as possible and don't want people accusing me of biased when I'm not.
for capabilities primarily use same as stock sources such as global security, military factory, Misselry, military today, defence contractors etc. then cross reference with each of my sourced military organisations to eliminate bias and if numbers or capabilities can't agree try to get an average. For logistical abilities, production capabilities, natural resources and economic capital get info primarily from governments, WTO, IMF etc. then cross reference with specialist organisations, exact sources will be given
Credentials I have always found military matters interesting, for this personal project I have dedicated over 600 hours doing the research for this information and I'm not even quarter way, my goal is accurately grade all military powers with their active stocks, reserve, storage, logistics, manufacturing and economic capabilities. I started this personal project in June 2023.
*They are ranked from most powerful to weakest in each class.
✔️ means confirmed in its class
☑️ Means was confirmed but needs updating in accordance with Version 5.

@t0ny1189 this is a bad assessment on all counts because AGAIN
1. USA wasn't alone on Afghanistan or Iraq several military players were there yet you're only Cherry picking the USA
2. Again logistics is determined by
Domestic Hubs
Minor Ports, Major Ports, Large Dry Docks, Military Bases, Naval Bases , Air & Space Force Bases, Gas Stations, Bus Depots, Train Stations, Airports , Radar Installations And Warehouses
Geography
So Landmass, Railways, High Speed, Railway , Roadways and Waterways
Statistics
So Total Population, Labour Force, Merchant Fleet , Naval Logistics Ships, Naval Landing Craft , Civilian Ships , Civilian Cars , Civilian Busses , Civilian Trucks , Civilian Trains , Civilian Aircraft, Cargo Aircraft , Military Trucks , Military, Transport Planes And Military Ariel Refueling Tankers
The European Union and China have better logistics than USA in regards to above
It's not even hard to pull what you're talking about off all you need is
Transport Planes
Cargo Ships
Equipment
That's it.

@yarnickgoovaerts several EU countries have joint exchange programs for their military and there is the European defence agency and other CSDP, Common security and defence policy agencies who's goals are to promote cooperation and ensure European defence, the European Union already has a military structure with the EEAS and EUMS which are European External Action Service and European Union Military Staff, the European Union has its own military strike forces, battle groups and naval grous, the European Union was just an economic union at start, now it's a legislative and defensive union, the European Defence Forces or European Union Military already have multiple military operations around the world I'll list a few
Operation Artemis European Union army military operations in Congo
Operation Concordia EU army operations in former Yugoslavia
Operation Sophia was EU navy operation in Lybia
I mean they literally set up the EUMAM, the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine which where EU military commanders give training to Ukrainian soldiers.
So whilst the European Union isn't like the USSR and has a single controlling Military as it's membes CAN act independent , they absolutely have a formal military structure and agencies and commanders dedicated to its defence, so if a member state was attacked like Sweden or Austria, the EU already has the structures in place to coordinate defence capabilities and if they wanted to attack they have the infrastructure for the army, navy and air force there, to use their combined military..

@yarnickgoovaerts several EU countries have joint exchange programs for their military and there is the European defence agency and other CSDP, Common security and defence policy agencies who's goals are to promote cooperation and ensure European defence, the European Union already has a military structure with the EEAS and EUMS which are European External Action Service and European Union Military Staff, the European Union has its own military strike forces, battle groups and naval grous, the European Union was just an economic union at start, now it's a legislative and defensive union, the European Defence Forces or European Union Military already have multiple military operations around the world I'll list a few
Operation Artemis European Union army military operations in Congo
Operation Concordia EU army operations in former Yugoslavia
Operation Sophia was EU navy operation in Lybia
I mean they literally set up the EUMAM, the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine which where EU military commanders give training to Ukrainian soldiers.
So whilst the European Union isn't like the USSR and has a single controlling Military as it's membes CAN act independent , they absolutely have a formal military structure and agencies and commanders dedicated to its defence, so if a member state was attacked like Sweden or Austria, the EU already has the structures in place to coordinate defence capabilities and if they wanted to attack they have the infrastructure for the army, navy and air force there, to use their combined military.

But keep living in fantasy land, the military supplies Ukraine has received makes up most of NATO frontline equipment lmao and even many top of the line stuff like 4th geb Manpads , 5th gen ATGMs, advanced missle systems and top line air defence systems 🤣
And this isn't including all the modern stuff Ukraine already had

@Kira559
1. EU is a political , economic and defence union it is a united group of countries just like the USA is a united group of states.
2. Again European commission has said they will keep supplying Ukraine regardless of what the USA does
3. USA total military aid from 2014-2023 $90 billion and total financial and humanitarian aid at $30 billion, so that's $120 billion so far from USA. EU and it's states total military aid from same time frame $51 billion and financial and humanitarian aid at $77 Billion, so that's $128 billion so far and this isn't inclusive the millions in ammunition and logistics EU and USA give to Ukraine every month
Source: Statista
And the European Union has far larger military production capabilities than the United States, the US only has better small arms production but in terms of tanks, armoured units, equipment, Munitions and ammunition factories the EU beats the USA by a mile.
The European Union is the second most powerful manufacturer behind China and the European Union is the strongest military power with China coming in second then USA then Russia, this isn't just opinion it's based on navy, army, air force, logistics, manufacturing, ecenomy, natural resources, combat Manpower and technology

@ashtray2232 are they though? A SepV3 isn't any better overall than a 2A7, T-90M, Karrar, K1A1 Type 99A etc and a SepV2 isn't any better overall than a 2A6, T-72B3, Type 96A etc.
The toughest tank it ever faced by USA was a downgraded Export T-72M by Iraq lmao, it's most common ATGM it's faced where 1st Gen Malyutka and 2nd Gen upgraded versions, it's never fought in an environment where an enemy has CAS capabilities.
It's a good tank but certainly does not warrant a title of goat like a T-72, T-55, M60, M48 etc. that all have far far superior combat records.

Phahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 cope harder, Russia has advanced further in a week in its offensive that Ukraine has after TWO MONTHS of its counter offensive, you're literally spewing propoganda, the west has been saying Russia has little equipment since last summer 😂 , you're nothing but a Ukrainian bootlicker or a NATO bot who is just beyond ignorant, the western trained troops are basically all gone, there's literally numerous videos of Bradleys, Strykers, leopards, lecrecs, archers, patriots and Artillery batteries all burning in fields 😂, easy pickings for Ka-52s, Su-35s and lancet Drones, infact this failed counter offensive has shown how out of date, NATO tactics are, their doctrine relies on having air superiority and Artillery superiority, that's easy when you're facing countries with 60-70 year old equipment, little air defence capabilities and naval power and no production capabilities, like Iraq, Afghanistan and Lybia, but against countries that have a solid air force, air defence capabilities and massive artillery and naval power and ability to produce own armaments, like Russia, well you've seen how well this counter offensive has went. 😂
Imagine calling Russia a rouge state with no regard for international law when you're shilling for Ukraine and the west, you NATO bots and Ukrainian bootlickers are some of the biggest hypocrites known to man.
Lmfao you are literally just making rubbish up, the Russian economy is doing well, European countries and USA have record high inflation and energy and food prices through the roof 😂 the fact you think Russia elites kids all go to the west, shows how unbelievably naïve you are, I'm honestly thinking you must be a troll, imagine saying that russian people are groomed for warfare yet are defending the west, who's countries like the US literally have a culture of military worship and recruit out of schools and are literally brainwashed to think the US is the best and good guys, no matter who they invade.
You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, Russia and Ukraine are no different from eachother, both have been killing eachother since 2014 and both have committed numerous atrocities, you talk about international law yet defend the west, who's members like USA, UK and France have invaded countless countries for ridiculous reasons, the US alone, have killed more innocent people since the end of the cold war than Russia and China combined, these countries praised the international criminal court for putting warrant out for Putin and some of his soldiers yet when the very same court, tried to prosecute US and UK soldiers, the UK refused and the US literally threatened to invade the Netherlands, you call Russia the "bad guy" when they are literally no different from the west, the west who also funds and supplies brutal regimes like Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan and Israel who have led genocidal campaigns that have killed millions.
You're nothing but a hypocrite who is smoking copium because Ukraine and their NATO weapons and training are getting absolutely hammered, you don't care about the morality and who is right and wrong, you just don't like Russia and their politics, because anyone who genuinely cares about who's right or wrong wouldn't be defending Russia or ukraine and they certainly wouldn't be defending the US, EU or UK, but don't worry, I hear f-16s are coming, you know the 4th Gen Fighter that has same combat equivalent as Su-27s 😂 which Russia has hundreds and more updated versions, will do as well as all the other "game" cHaNgErS like Bradleys and leopards, which have been Destroyerd so many times the Russian army has named a few fields Bradley square and leopard avenue 😂😭😭
But I'll let you get back to smoking copium.

@OK-yy6qz what a laughable statement, controls 1/5th of their territory, stopped their counter offensive, yet it hAsNt mEaNt mUcH, clueless, also they didn't have air superiority at the start, because Ukraine had many of its own S-300 and 200D systems all along it's border, it's only since around January - February that Russia has gained total air superiority in Majority of sectors, since Russia destroyed a lot of their air defence capabilities and the fact that they started running out of ammunition for it.
And sure thing buddy keep believing "official figures" that's why there's videos of ukranian authorities literally kidnapping men of the streets, why during battle of bakmhut, NATO commanders were shocked that they were only given around 5-7 DAYS to train someone
Ukraine is now solely reliant upon the US, UK and EU, with each giving them around $60, $30 and $10 billion in military supplies, but many of these countries have voiced concerns about their stocks dwindling, they aren't concerned about ammunition and munitions as these can be produced in factories easy enough and are lining the pockets of US and EU defence contractors, Ukraines biggest help is the EU, they are right next door and can send a steady stream of ammunition through Poland and Romania, where as US shipments have to arrive by ship or plane to Europe then by train or truck.
Russia can produce its own vehicle's, weapons and ammunition, there's already videos showing russian factories producing T-72s, Ka-52s, Su-35s, Lancet Drones, BMPs, S-400s and munitions and small arms, Russia defence industry is largely state owned aswell, so unlike the US and EU, they aren't getting gouged by defence contractors, this is why Russia will win a war of attrition, it has more men and has more production capabilities, and how the hell does the US giving it's weapons away strengthen its economy, you do realise that Ukraine doesn't pay anything, it's all on loan, the only people getting stronger are defence contractors and groups like black rock who have already set up banks like JP Morgan to invest in construction and building firms who will help rebuild Ukraine or western Ukraine.

@ehold6877 Let's look at the facts the pentagon leaks showed.
Russia has air superiority ✔️
Russia is still advancing since retreat in Ukraine counter offensive which stalled in November, it's taken soledar and has taken bakmhut ✔️
Ukrainian counter offensive likely to have limited effect ✔️
Ukraine is running out of ammunition ✔️
Majority of equipment in Ukraine is soon to be NATO supplied ✔️
NATO special forces are in Ukraine ✔️
Let's look at Russias military progress, this conflict started in 2014 when a US backed coup in Ukraine resulted in ethnic russians in donbas and Crimea wanting to secede, Ukraine responded with shelling and occupation which ended in Russia supplying rebels
Since then Ukraine has been fortifying it's defensive positions along it's eastern borders with Russia and has been recieving NATO supplies and training in facing Russia military tactics since then, Russia mobilized around 100-150,000 troops in initial invasion, whilst Ukraine already had hundreds of thousands along border due to ongoing conflict with rebels, Ukraine then enacted marshall law and mobilized around 700,000 men, combine this with the fact that not long after Ukraine started recieving what is now close to 100 billion dollars in military supplies, weapons, equipment and vehicles, Russia now controls 1/5th of Ukraine and is advancing in north east and fighting the counter offensive in the east and south.
Russian human wave is literally a myth, from people who watched enemy at the gates on thought it was a documentary, Russias logistics are fine, this is again pure propoganda, it's so obvious you're repeating what you see in the news, their military is fully trained, the majority of their forces aren't even in Ukraine, it's hilarious how Russia is supposedly so desperate yet it has increased the conscription age whilst Ukraine is literally kidnapping men of the streets, history does repeat itself, just ask Napoleon, britain and Nazi Germany what happens when you push Russia
Russia is one of the 4 major military powers, along with the US, EU and China, they all have massive military power, economic or manufacturing capabilities, logistical abilities and natural resources, the fact you think the US has some kind of advanced technology shows how unbelievably naïve you are, the US defense budget is vastly over flated, 60 minutes did a great exposé on the corruption in the pentagon and how the actual defense budget is a fraction of what it is on paper thanks to good old capitalism, a good example of why having the highest military budget doesn't mean you will win, is WWII (a subject you also know very little about) Germany and Japan spent most on their military at the time, all the 4 major military powers excell in different areas, the US rules the air, air superiority is a big part of US doctrine, which is why the favour many aircraft Carriers, but such a doctrine only works against enemies who's military don't have an effective air defence, if you tried the tactics that the US used in Iraq against Russia or China who have massive air defence capabilities and large air force with interceptors and you'll have a lot of burning f-16s and f-35s, the fact you think the US could easily beat Russia because it has some "advanced tech" shows how incredibly ignorant you are about military matters, Russia has massive manufacturing capabilities for armaments, a massive air force with modern fighters, bombers and aircraft (most of their fleet is 4th and 4.5 gen) they have more tanks, self propelled & towed artillery, MLRS systems and air defence batteries, they have more frigates, corvettes, Submarines, cruisers, patrol vessels and anti mine ships, you just sound laughably ignorant, you were probably one of those people who thought NATO weapons and training would be game changers, instead there have been so many Bradleys, Strykers, leopards, lecrecs, archers, patriots and Artillery batteries burning in fields that the Russian army named a few Bradley square and leopard avenue 😭🤣 you're just coping hard.
It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about and are just repeating what you hear in the media and likely just buy into the "US military has advanced weapons" nonsense that's literally so childish, do research before having opinions.

@captainnemo6159 the French are not a warrior, with that single statement you have shown how utterly ignorant you are, gotta love how the entire argument of you clowns is WWII, as if french history began and ended in WWII, completely forgetting all the wars France won before it including WWI and Napoleons conquests of Europe, also completely forgetting all the wars France has won since then including the Corsican war, the shabba war, the Bizerte crisis, chad-lybian war and the ivory coast civil wars, France has won 98 wars, drew 9 and lost 23, it has won the most amount of battles in history and it's generals regularly rank among some of the greatest military commanders of all time.
You have no idea what you're talking about, by your logic it's like saying the US aren't warriors because they got whooped by China in Korean war when China's military was awful, or that Russia aren't warriors because they got smoked during first Chechnyan war, it shows your complete lack of knowledge about history and military matters.

@justhair17 that's absolutely nonsense, they are small compared to countries like China, US and Russia, but I've already explained that the EU United is a major military power, but regardless you're delusional if you think Wagner, a PMC could beat France in an open war, Wagner is solely reliant on Russian vehicles and ammunition, its combined net worth of its owners is only a few billion, they don't have a navy, nor do they have an air force, I usually agree with Alex but this video is dumb af, Wagner would literally run out of ammunition, France wouldn't even have to send most of its army, it could just get its aircraft Carriers and missle cruisers and bomb and she'll the Wagner positions.

@joeyeddy9344 My system if you bothered to actually read it is the 3-5-9 system, so it gushes army, navy and air force and each of those is judged by capabilities of equipment, vehicles aircraft ships etc. Logistics, production capabilities, maintenance Capabilities and numbers and variety of stocks. Then there's the overall factors for each country which is army, navy, air force, combat Manpower, economic capital, natural resources, production capabilities, logistics and military technology. You have provided absolutely no counter arguments beyond saying "you're wrong" absolutely laughable

@joeyeddy9344 lmao I love how you're just talking nonsense and saying things I didn't say. Your reading comprehension is non existent, AGAIN I said that 5 things matter. 1. Capabilities of Warships, so VLS Cells, Torpedo Tubes, radars, SAMs, CIWS, guns, air assets etc. 2. Logistics, so merchant ships, Replenishment Ships, ammo ships etc. 3. Maintainnce capabilities, so how many Shipyards, how many workers, how many auxiliary ships and how many navy bases and dry docks. 4. Number and Variety, so how many ships, how many different varieties. And lastly 5. Production capabilities, so how many shipyards, how many dry docks, how many get built and how much global shipbuilding production is shared.

You're just clueless sheep who just gets their opinion from whatever news source they agree with the fact you don't even know the difference between EU and Europe and think the EU gets military aid when their military budget is one of the largest on earth and have larger and more powerful army and navy than the USA shows how unbelievably ignorant you are. The fact aswell that you aren't even reading my stuff and just repeating yourself shows how you have absolutely no interest in discussion or learning, all you care about pushing your nonsense opinion. Absolutely pathetic, proper second hand embarrassment if I was caught making such laughable statements.

@realSanti954 you don't mnkw what you're talking about. Ukraine has nearly run out of all their manpower. You spew propaganda BS such as Russia having moral and logistics issues.
You don't understand warfare. This is a war of attrition not a maneuver war. Russia isn't trying to maneuver big pushes.
Ukraine they had spent months training with NATO, they received over $270 billion in aid from Western countries and organisations since 2022, with around ~60% delivered up until july 2023 (~70% today). Broken down it looks like for 2022 to 2023
~$29,580,000,000 Equipment costs
~$15,560,000,000 Munitions costs
~$769,200,000 Small arms costs
~$105,000,000,000 Logistics costs
A lot of people don't realise how much logistics costs, people think you can just send equipment and boom there you go, because in reality it's the thing that costs the most. There's fuel costs, maintenance costs, spare parts costs, systems testing costs, combat testing costs, ammunition costs, crew training costs, mechanics/engineer training costs and transportation costs and then you have to pay the crews, mechanics, drivers and engineers for the operations.
Logistics is what takes up the biggest chunk, for example the Iraq war estimated to have cost over a trillion dollars yet the actual dollar value of the equipment and Munitions used probably barely made half, it's running, maintaining and operating the equipment that costs money.
Up till june 2023 before they launched their counter offensive they had received months of training with NATO equipment, up to ~70,000 soldiers trained to NATO standards, they received nearly 400 NATO air defence systems, hundreds of NATO anti aircraft guns and over 2,000 NATO manpads (including thousands of others) to help them punch a hole in Russia air superiority to get some momentum. They received tens of thousands of NATO ATGMs and nearly 500 NATO standard tanks with 400 ex soviet ones and Thousands of NATO IFVs, APCs, EW systems, radars, counter batteries SPAGs, artillery Guns etc. And dozens of aircraft including attack helicopters and fighter jets along with just over a million shells of artillery and tens of thousands of guided rockets, hundreds of missiles to hundreds of thousands of unguided rockets to hundreds of thousands of mines and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition and nearly half a million NATO small arms.
Remember a lot of this was top stuff or at minimum frontline use in NATO countries. M1A1SA Abrams, M-55S, Leopard 2A6, Leopard 2A4, Leopard 1A5 DK-1, PT-91, Challenger 2, T-72 Avenger, AMX-10RCR, CV90MK-II, CAESAR, PzH-2000, M109A6, Krab, Zuzana, DANAM1, Archer, HIMARS, M270B1, MARS II, RM-70V, RBS-56B, TOW-2A, Javelin E, Harpoon, Hellfire, RIM-7M, Brimstone, Moruš, FFAR, Hydra 70, AASM Hammer, AGM-88 HARM, Storm Shadow, Stringer E, Stinger C, M777A2, RBS-70MK2, Piorun, Patriot PAC-3, SAMP/T, NASAMS-2, IRIS-T SLM, Crotale NG, Bayraktar TB2, Mi-171Sh, MiG-29AS, Akeron MP, MILAN-3ER, Rosomak, M2A2-ODS-SA Bradley, Stryker, AN/TWQ-1, AN/TPQ-53, AN/MPQ-50, AN/TPQ-49, AN/TPQ-48, AN/TPQ-36, TRML, Ground Master 200, Giraffe 75, AGM-88 HARM, COBRA, SQUIRE, ARTHUR, MAMBA etc. Is all minimum frontline NATO equipment and practically every single one has been destroyed at least once.
Their counter offensive was to split the Russian army and capture ~44,000km² out of around ~100,000km² it was to liberate Crimea and prove to the world just how superior Western weapons were.
It was a colossal failure, ~46 billion in military supplies, ~100 billion in logistics and financial costs, months of training, access to the best intelligence NATO has, battle plans coordinated with top NATO commanders and in nearly 5 months of fighting it only caught less than ~400km² or around less than 1% of their target. They couldn't even breach the 2/5 defensive line and spent 3 months fighting for a single street village which by the way was taken back by Russia at the start of 2024. All the hype and Ukraine still lost ~678 km² in 2023 overall despite their offensive. For context Russia captured more territory in February to march 2024 alone, it shows how utterly pointless aid is and how even at Ukraines strongest they can't do anything.
The funniest thing was all the western think tanks and media groups that said western weapons would be too good for Russia to then saying that it was all old. The cope is real. It's also funny because Ukrainians themselves have criticised NATO training. A big problem with NATO Doctrine is that it solely relies on air supremacy, air supremacy is easy when you are facing a country that uses obsolete SAMs and fighter jets.
Ukraine is cooked either way. You are foolish to think otherwise.

@QwertasdfgQwertyuasdfgh Экономика России в этом году выросла на 2%, а экономика Украины упала более чем на 20% 😂 У России дела идут хорошо и надирают задницу злому Киеву, мне пришлось уехать из Изиума из-за злой полиции, которая бы тебя просто остановила, тебя притесняли за то, что я русский, после проверки моих водительских прав, мне засунули руки в штаны 🤢 ЗЛЫЕ ЛЮДИ, я могу только представить тот ужас, который испытали и продолжают испытывать женщины, которые не смогли уехать, я молюсь, чтобы Россия освободила Донецк и Луганская Народная Республика 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
