Russia has depleted its tank stocks: the industry is not covering combat losses - Militarnyi
Putin’s misguided dream to restore the Russian empire has set its military back for decades. He’s squandered the remnants of a global empire because he personally could not stomach Ukrainian independence.
China’s demand for oil is past its peak, and sky high interest rates can’t prop up the Russian economy forever. Depleted stocks and poor economic forecasts don’t bode well for the Russian “Empire.”
The invasion of Ukraine was a strategic blunder of historic proportions, and all because he underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian people and their will to be free.
Admittedly, there's a parallel universe where Zelensky flees, ukranian opposition is in disarray, and they seized Kiev and Odessa in the first week.
But Zelensky didn't need a ride...
That quote, "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" lives in my head rent free. THAT'S what a real man says. That's what a real leader says.
His life has been in danger now everyday for 3 years. Everyday he continues to serve his people. Everyday he continues to lead the nation against the biggest tyrant of our generation.

Russia really is Ukraine's largest defense supplier lol
Any coordinates you can share?
The Soviet Union was huge, and dispersed tanks in a multitude of storage depots. Russia is big, and inherited most of them, in varying condition.
Covert Cabal does a good high level OSInt overview, but here’s a list of everything.
That's why they're sending squads of dudes on dirt bikes. It's what they have left.
Gonna leak the new Russian tank design soon to be used on the front here instead of the War Thunder forums:
If I am right, this tank will be also in a parade of the Great Patriotic War this spring?
