Seeking more weapons for the war in Ukraine, the Russian president plans to return to the country on Tuesday for the first time in nearly a quarter-century.
This another ‘war is days from being over, Russia on verge of defeat,’ propaganda piece?
In 2 years we’ve had ‘Putin nearly dead,’ ‘fighting with WWII shovels,’ ‘Russia out of weapons,’ ‘using WWII equipment and tanks,’ ‘lost 87% of troops,’ ‘sanctioned killed their economy’ This list is endless.
There has never been a shortage of quality equipment for elite units but in the early stages of the conscription people where issued everything stored in bunkers and depots at hand including personal weapons from late WWII/early Cold War.
And if you look at confirmed vehicle losses there is a clear trend towards older and older albeit to various degrees modernized platforms. So yeah, Russia IS running out of modern weapons for the average unit in the field.
The issue at hand though is the longer the conflict draggs on the more Russia is able to adapt. Evading sanctions by laundering oil in India. Importing vital electronic components through China. And now securing more ammo in North Korea. Which btw the west is doing in South Korea and other places around the world as well.
The amount of artillery shells being used is astronomical. Paired with a low production capacity in the west as a baseline, it is not unimaginable that the ongoing demand outweighs production.
Lmfao i mean when you cherry pick the shit ones it sounds crazy but…
Russia genuinely had soldiers with cosplay tier helmets and body armor, Russia genuinely had a coup attempt, Russia genuinely is using equipment they pulled out of museums literally go look at the turtle tank that was captured, Russian economy is doing very bad and Russia does have more casualties than Ukraine.
War was supposed to be a special weekend operation, and look where we are.

Yeah this sounds weird I thought Russia was producing ammo at like 10 times the rate of all of NATO combined
