  1. We've crossed so many red lines it's all bluster at this point.

  2.  @tinaforbes1059  they were down to 35% stocks on a certain high precision system was the report. Probably why they bought Iranian drones, and missles from Iran/NK. They also started using a lot more of their anti shipping and s-400/300 in ground attacks. They are also using katusha systems from the 50s.

  3.  @simplicius11  they list only 449 lost tanks for Ukraine. of which destroyed: 265, damaged: 24, abandoned: 16, captured: 144 Meanwhile in russia: Tanks 1646, of which destroyed: 967, damaged: 75, abandoned: 59, captured: 545. russia looses almost 4(3.67) tanks for every Ukranian tank. Source: Visually confirmed losses on Onyix.

  4.  @tinaforbes1059 I don't suppose you are a military analyst are you? Besides, common sense dictates if they suddenly start replacing most of them with inferior munitions, they can't have a huge stock left. Otherwise don't you think they would use them?

  5. Is that why they fell?

  6. By spring Ukraine should have  31 abrams, and at least 32 or more leopard 2, 14 challenger2, maybe French tanks. Not to mention the new shipments of 20 t-72 from Morocco. 90 strykers, 50 Bradley's, 40 Marder, unknown amount of AMX-10RC. 8 new NASAM, 2 German Skynex, and an undisclosed amount of Patriot & Crotale. a whole bunch of nato/soviet munitions, more attack drones, and 200 Canadian "Senator" vehicles. To name the highlights of the latest round.

  8.  @dimushka383  then why haven't they broke through yet? Trying to play fair?

  9.  @avgjoe5969  a lot of IFVs are going too. In Iraq the Bradley took out more tanks then the m1 abrams. Don't forget 20 t-72 from Morocco. 90 strykers, 50 Bradley's, 40 Marder, unknown amount of AMX-10RC. 8 new NASAM, 2 German Skynex, and an undisclosed amount of Patriot & Crotale. a whole bunch of nato/soviet munitions, more attack drones, and 200 Canadian "Senator" vehicles. This is expected by the end of March.

  11. People have been calling tanks obsolete since the bazooka in ww2, some how they still manage to fill a vital role in offensives

  12. The report was that one of their high precision systems stockpile was down by 65%. They can still make some more, and buy up from Iran, NK, and Africa.

  13. He'd lose most in the process. Otherwise what is he waiting for? More sanctions, embarrassment, and losses of manpower and equipment?

  14. Energy prices already fell below pre war levels thanks to 3 new lng terminals.

  15.  @Zoldeck2000  they apparently are quite short on t90s and t80s. They are fielding increasing amounts of t64/62.

  16. They also have terrible discipline and grooming also limits spread of disease. It could mean a few things. Chemical weapons is the least likely.

  17.  @ibobeko4309  by the corruption index russia was 136 and Ukraine 122. On the scale the lower down the more corrupt you are. So technically russia is 24 steps down the pit of corruption then Ukraine.

  18. Where are you getting Ukranian losses from? russian MOD? they have claimed more tank losses then Ukrane ever possessed. Same with HIMARS, byraktar, and other systems. Their claims are so far disconnected from reality it's a joke. I suggest ONYX, they have a photo and map information for every system they count as downed.

  19. 🤦‍♂️ last I checked there are still plenty of HIMARS, they seem to struggle with hitting them. Not a single had been lost by November.

  20. Once it's used MAD goes into effect. Don't think poutn wants to end it all. He has family, daughters

  21.  @draker769  that's not the strategy of the UK, or USA. France has their first strike 100 Kilton nuke they plan as a deterrence. If that fails they go all out. UK has a few submarines floating around with 18 nukes. They would respond with a full strike from their subs in response. Meanwhile America has a new nuclear posture review. Escalate to de escelate had been dropped for: "Any nuclear attack against the United States or its Allies and partners is unacceptable and will result in the end of that regime".

  22.  @calelliot3703  that first wave gas already been deployed. They apparently are on a second wave of mobilisation now.

  23.  @oletoustrup8572  225 tanks are coming. 100 T-72B, 80 leopard24A6 and 31 abrams by end of March. Also 200 ifvs and 200 APCs.

  24. Some announc the amount some don't. I imagine they don't announce absolutely everything either.

  25. They directly blew up goofies tank depos and rolled in special forces to hit isis bases later on. Why doesn't russia give lybia back it's oil and leave the occupation of the capital?

  26. Multiple sources have confirmed it. Check the visually confirmed losses from the institute for the study of war. They have the russian markings on them.

  27. because russia has lost more. Also where'd you get those numbers? russian MOD? They are they are rather inflated from any 3rd part source I can find. Ukraine has only lost 449 tanks that can be confirmed. Many of those numbers are higher then Ukraine ever had in service

  29. Australia is the largest producer of LNG followed by Qatar. You think they are behind this? Ya know almost 500million was frozen in Canada, and a bunch through out the EU too. Most aid to Ukraine has been FNF and PDA, which means Ukraine doesn't have to pay much back, if any. If russia stopped expanding NATO would have already disbanded after the USSR.
