Air cover is better, but really from what? Russia has shown no ability to use the VKS in that role.
We hope.This war is a death spiral for Putin and Russia. It will not end well for them.
Given the staggering equipment losses I was curious how many tanks Russia could produce a year. Prior to the war they were struggling to produce 250 tanks a year. Assuming ramping up gets them to 300 tanks (which may be generous) and the most recent estimates of 3,500 tanks lost it's going to take Russia over 11 years to replace their tank losses if the war ended today. And, given the sanctions, these tanks won't have the same capabilities as the T-90s produced prior to the war in terms of optics and other electronics

Yes, with each successive failure they make more and more outlandish statements. I’m pretty sure they have floated the conquest of all of Europe as well.This is on par with Tucker calling for an invasion of Canada and Graham calling for an invasion of Mexico. Ain't serious and only intended for the dumbest part of their audience.
Grain deal renewed
A couple of reason i think the video is incorrect - first Iran already recovered one of these so I'm not sure there is new tech to be obtain since iran/russian/china are all willing to share tech. 2nd Russia has shown it has a lot of issue recovering things in deep depth (remember the submarine explosion a few years ago); yea debris that don't sink are easily recovered but the heavier pieces will sink. To be honest these things should be designed to self-destruct - hopefully when a plane collide with them

Speaking of nukes I have a feeling that Russia is trading their nuclear tech to China in return for military support and food.Arent we due for some more nuclear saber rattling?
The Chinese do not need Russian Nuclear bomb/ICBM tech.Speaking of nukes I have a feeling that Russia is trading their nuclear tech to China in return for military support and food.
No but they do need sub tech.The Chinese do not need Russian Nuclear bomb/ICBM tech.
China has nukes; I would think iran is more likely candidate for such a trade.Speaking of nukes I have a feeling that Russia is trading their nuclear tech to China in return for military support and food.
I'm not familiar with current Russian or Chinese sub tech. I haven't followed Russian/Soviet sub capabilities since the end of the cold war.No but they do need sub tech.
perun did a vid on PMCs and wagner. he covers the history of mercenaries and how wagner rose up out of iraq/afghanistan blackwater's example.So it looks like Putin and/or his defense minister have purposefully left that Wagner group undersupplied in Bakhmut while they go through a meat grinder. With the intention of politically weakening this guy Prigozhin, because they think he has ambitions of replacing Putin.
Meanwhile the outnumbered Ukrainians in Bakhmut are fighting for every house and square inch of the city, and inflicting terrible casualties on the under-supplied Russians.
What a massive clusterfuck this entire war has been for Russia. They can't even all get on the same page. Putin would rather 10's of thousands of Russians die in Bakhmut and they lose, so he can blame a guy he thinks could theoretically some day attempt to replace him. I guess the one thing more important to a dictator than winning a war is maintaining his place of power.

Yea, as I’ve come to understand, Trident is the real MAD factor.No but they do need sub tech.
