The big if in this is whether or not Russia can sustain the morale needed for that long and painful a fight. The smaller question is who/when decide Putin et al need to go.

It was captured at sea.

Update on Russian losses... Ukraine destroys almost 1,000 Russian artillery pieces in March In updated figures published by Ukraine's military on Wednesday, Kyiv said Russian forces had lost a total of 11,142 artillery systems since February 2022. This tally includes the loss of 30 artillery...

It's not a complete shell from what I can tell, just the outer housing.

Where does Belarus get it's gas from?

Russia is big, but almost all of their industry is in East Western Russia. (sigh...stupid brain) Which happens to put it relatively close to Moscow and Ukraine. Most of Russia is actually undeveloped.

Not really, those alliances were kept secret from other nations for some reason. That gave a lot of actors false assumptions of consequences.

I'm looking at what was tweeted. I don't trust rando-twit to be honest, let alone cognizant of the currency exchange rates. I'm also at work and don't have the time to dig up the hacked source material to see if poster is correct. Have you done that to verify the information?

Think about the sheer number of these things that are probably in storage. I'm sure they've found some out of those thousands that require very little, relative, work to get them operational.

The M2s did the right thing with their Bushmasters. Put fire on target, essentially suppressing the ability of the T90 to engage them. If they'd had the AT missiles M2s normally mount as well, one M2 would have been sufficient. Encounter at close range calls for the Bushmaster to suppress while...

Apparently, they are having serious production problems... Might have something to do with poor storage of their munitions, possibly the fact they conscripted workers out of their factories and just plugged in warm bodies, might also be due to the loss of imported microchips...you know...the...

OK...IR is a passive sensor...how does an IR Lock Detector work then?

Question: How does the missile know it's being attacked so that it can then trigger the flares?

Just read this little quip, "The Defense Intelligence Agency's Trent Maul believes Ukrainian troops could break through all of Russia's defensive lines by the end of 2023, "Had we had this conversation two weeks ago, I would have been slightly more pessimistic," he admitted." Lots of...

It's WAR. There's not much more personal than trying to kill the people in front of you.

It becomes even more severe when you look at it as the % of young men in their population.

It's already available as an option, but Russia and Ukraine don't have the dedicated EW platforms (to my knowledge) that would enable the kind of coverage you would need. Also...the quick response to that defense is a HARM missile which homes in on intense radio signals like that...

In some part at least. The Communist idea was to have everyone work together to better the state, and thus everyone does better when the state does. Unfortunately, reality and human nature tend to hijack all things. Communism consolidated power into an oligarchy...and they decided they liked...

That's the problem...they are ALL trying to get a grip on anything they can. None of the Russian peoples have been trained to look at material as anything more than, "How much of this can I get without causing problems that'll get me killed?"
