  1. To bad they will go against 40 Mista M2s that will fire 200+ shells back at them. In single salvo.

  2. Another 4 guns. Great. I am sure it will make huge difference. Note that Ukraine had more towed and self propelled guns at the beginning of war then all of EU NATO combined. Russia has more artillery systems then not just all of NATO + Ukraine but almost as much as rest of the planet combined.

  3.  @christopherg2347  Western systems are only out ranged by few km, not 5-15km - unless the send old junk.

  4.  @christopherg2347  Yes, Russians systems are outranging western artillery systems. This is easily verifiable on the net.

  5.  @p_serdiuk  Nah, it gets out ranged.

  6.  @ddshiranui  But how, Russian guns have longer range then any western guns.

  7.  @ddshiranui  They can just use heavy missile MLRS with 80km range. Drone targets, missiles splat. For high value target they can use drone ammo which Russia pioneered - i.e. suicide drones delivered via MLRS. Heck if the west pushes more buttons Russia can always partially mobilize. If they fully mobilize they may with so much impetus just take Berlin back.

  8.  @ddshiranui  Russian showing is very impressive in Ukraine. Far better then the collective west imagined. This has caused panic in Berlin with massive military spending to offset huge Russian advantage. West though Ukraine can bleed Russia with some RPGs sent over. But as Ukrainian army got crushed they started to send everything even plane parts / whole aircraft! And despite all of this there is now just 92 BTGs in Ukraine. That is like 80k Russians or so. That is it. Together with allies maybe 160k. Ukraine has what, over 500k? This includes conscripts.

  9.  @p_serdiuk  They are literally like 100s of videos of Russians doing just that - one shot one kill with artillery directed by a drone. How the hell on earth do you think, tiny Russian army, is kicking the rear end of Ukrainian army, supported by the west, with most equipment of anyone in EU - Ukraine started with more arms then all of Europe combined? Really, they do this by not being good at force multiplication? Really? Come on. Use your brain.

  10.  @ddshiranui  No we watched same videos you are just very easily swayed by propaganda and simply do not use logic. Let me fix that for you and use only facts, no "expert" opinions, no CNN just facts. 1. It took US weeks to get to Baghdad despite facing an army that lost a major war, was not supported by anyone and had no will to fight 2. It took US 6 weeks to take Falujah despite having 10:1 advantage and facing poorly armed and trained insurgents. 3. It took Russians also 6 weeks to take Mariupol, despite having only 3:1 advantage and facing the very best unit in Ukraine, Azov Nazi regiment. 4. Ukraine had the largest army wholly in Europe before the war started. They had the most tank, the best (!!!) air defenses (1 more battery of similar vintage AA then Germany (!)) 5. Ukraine is / was supported by all of NATO. As well as few western countries. Poland alone spent billions in aid and sent more then half of their own T-72s it had in storage. 6. At first Ukraine received only hand held weapons. Then S-300 (that was destroyed in like 24h), Polish offer for MiG-29s was rejected as provocation. But now, about 10 days ago parts to MiG-29 were sent as well as whole aircraft. Every NATO country is sending heavy weapons, tanks, artillery, AA systems. US almost enacted 33B in extra aid (!!!) US spending on Ukraine this year, total will, including 33B approach 50B (go check it out). 7. Russia never had more then 100k in Ukraine, Ukrainian army is around 300k, most 97% in ground forces - air power is small, navy does not exist. Ukraine has mobilized and added another 200k. At least 100k of that is in extra brigades. 8. All countries in Europe, not just Germany, reacted by buying guns. Lots of guns. 9. Donbass militia is armed with ex Ukrainian stuff, their numbers are at most 70k, including Chechens. Lets look at above facts and facts only. Compared to US I do not see Russian forces doing badly - in fact, they are doing great & much better then US forces did! This is comparing apples to apples. Facts only. We see small Russian force, mopping the floor with huge, western supported army. This reaction to Russian show of power - not a paper tiger - has forces the west to give everything they got. It also is forcing western countries to arm themselves much better. Your conclusions that Russians have corruption issues etc. could be true - but then if a corrupt army can do what Russians can do I fear that not corrupt Russian army is made of Gods. Conclusion is that Russian military capabilities were vastly under estimated. Look at facts and facts alone. This is why west though some RPGs will be enough ;) But this is not all - EU also vastly miss calculated sanctions where Russia did their math well!

  11.  @ddshiranui  Most of mainstream media is pure propaganda. Don't waste time on it. Read actual combat reports and info from actual first hand sources plus use logic. Russian focus on tanks is correct - tanks and armored vehicles multiply the force projection power. Everyone sees it and now everyone wants to imitate - i.e. heavy is the way to go - especially for small army. Tanks BTW are protected by infantry - plenty of videos from say Mariupol to show that. Infantry is a dismount from APC. No. Russian advance is NOW. In the first part of the war Russians did advance with tiny force. the idea may have been to catch Ukrainians unprepared to to grab some stuff for free. They did have some success but not enough. It is still puzzling what did exactly happen during first three weeks. Russian forces say near Kiev were smaller then police force in Kiev so way too tiny to even... police the city. Some say it was fixing operation. Day 1 was a success - paratroopers captured and held the airfield. But so what - it was holed and could not be used. Also support force that came in was tiny. Ukraine started with 2000 towed artillery pieces - please don't make a fool out of yourself thinking that 100 more from US will make a huge difference. Sanctions totally failed. Russians just decreased ruble percent to just 14%. Russian bonds have same yields as before - better then Poland. Ruble is up. I watch some videos by students in Russia. There does not seem to be any economic collapse at all. They complain prices went up like 40%. I counter that in Poland stuff went up... 100%. I doubt Russian economy will see any major decline - I would not be shocked to see modest GDP growth. Russian liberals are for Putin - idiot western sanctions erased Russian opposition. Putin pulled up 83% last month - I bet he is closer to 90% now. There is no exodus of Russian intelligentsia - you should actually watch people from Russia. Where these guys would go - to the west that hates them? There are plenty of rich women on Instagram tearing up $5000 bags to show support. Artists for Putin. Lots of Russians are disappointed with the west and are coming home. So the "exodus" is of Russians from the west. You should watch more videos of actual pp not some CNN BS propaganda. On the front line in Donbass Ukraine is folding. It will be a miracle if they are still not encircled by May 9th. Every day they are being pushed and they committed 100% of their force. Situation is terrible and Ukraine should surrender now and accept terms as in two weeks Putin will demand 2x as much land. Surrender now while you still can - limited time offer.
