Small arms and unrifled artillery on light trucks is some Afghanistan levels of production. They have to send tanks out of country for depot level repairs. Zero medium range missiles, zero medium to heavy artillery. Zero tanks or IFVs. There was talk about a Leo repair/light production factory being set up but I've lost track of how that was going after the third delay.It's fucking trench warfare. If you think this sort of "slow but steady" is a good idea, you need to look up WW1 a bit more, and if you think Russia is an exception and can take it, remind yourself how WW1 ended for Russia.
That's just plainly wrong.

The fresh conscripts aren't going to be good for anything other than defensive uses. If they will be doing any advancing, it will be with the other troops relieved from the defensive uses.
Again you've just reiterated my issue. Ukraine and Russia are bleeding trained troops. Trained troops are required for offensive action. Offensive action is required to win an active war barring very few exceptions. Therefore Ukraine's inability to regenerate trained troops is a big issue that needs to be solved. Russia is able to train an ever increasing amount of volunteers in safety while Ukraine is spending months dithering over more conscription.
Russia slapped a zero on their dogshit prewar production numbers. In a vacuum, with nobody else bothering they win by default.
