Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Look at the numbers they are blowing through at the moment,I remember correctly the Ukrainans are going through 210,000 shells per month,

The leaks are probably nothing the Russians don't already know anyway. It's not a good look but I don't think the leaks are damaging to Ukraine really in any practical way.

The US might get tired of sending money , but they won’t get tired of sending weapons.

the benefits of sending weapons over money is that Russia is losing its military and slowly dying, also sending weapons means that they need to be replaced, which in turn keeps all those massive Defence companies in the US ticking over.

Some of it is junk, but the main issue is they can't access the stuff physically. The only sizable airport is in Moldova proper, not Transnistria, and They would never get permission to use it. Russian aircraft wouldn't be allowed to overfly any countries to get to it either. Road and rail likewise.

And if that weren't enough, Ukraine would likely intervene. That arms dump is in the village of Cobasna, which is on the border with Ukraine with an actual border crossing there.

You seem to be in awe of the bigness of the picture you've painted for yourself. Remember that whenever you invoke the "Russia is so big" argument, you're talking about a country with a population that is only barely equivalent to the combined populations of France and Germany, and an economy that was middling at best - before it started falling over the cliff.

Regarding the infinitely inexhaustable stockpiles of everything, it looks like you're still basing your analysis on the same paper inventories that we now know were largely works of fiction. More to the point, though, is the fact that the Russians have demonstrated that they cannot reliably and repeatedly get men, weapons and ammunition to work together in the same place and at the same time.

As Darth Putin puts it: "Russia is now the second strongest army in Ukraine ..."

Unfortunately, the Orcs have a 5-6 times advantage in airpower, and that's Ukraines assessment.

Kind of poignant considering the news over weekend that we can't use our missile defense system because we don't have the radar to make it work.

So we'll just let it gather dust instead of doing the honourable thing and giving it to Ukraine.

The US has not yet begun supplying weapons to Ukraine under Lend-Lease, - Politico

 Deliveries have not yet begun due to the US unwillingness to impose monetary obligations on Ukraine and bipartisan approval of support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“We prioritize security assistance that they won’t have to pay us for,” a senior Biden administration official explained.

So now your are saying common sense isn't my strong ally while you also in an earlier post accused me of not being able to see the big picture and in another that I was whining about your numbers you used to support your russia big argument which were easily demonstrated by a quick google search to be wrong. I believe you are the one who is not very well aligned with common sense and good luck with your putin fan boy attitude as I don't see the point any more of replying to someone who repeatedly just ignores the valid points I have made to demonstrate your faith in attrition being on putin's side is nonsense.

I'm not sure if you have noticed but the attacks by putin's forces have been ground down to minuscule levels of progress and Ukraine has liberated significant amounts of their country so saying putin's forces have enough to fight at the current rate for another 2 years doesn't point to them getting anything positive from their invasion.

And yet, it says nothing about 5 times more stuff.

From 3 days to take Kiev, to a 4 year war. Lets meet in the middle and agree it will end at the end of the year

We don't know ... A series of humiliating battlefield defeats for Russia , could get Putin the chop very quick , and it depends who and what faction replaces him .. not having cash to buy new support could be a big deal ..

A few humiliating failed assaults for Ukraine are more likely to bring a stalemate , and eventually the west pushing for compromise ..

If Ukraine put off a massive assault and keep goading the Russians into more stupid assaults then who knows - a few more volhedars may break the back of the Russian army ..

Hmmm...

I remember reports that Russia would run out of tanks, artillery, and men at various points last year.

We've had news reports for close to a year detailing how underresourced Russian soldiers were and how they were close to breaking.

We were told that the breakthrough at Kharkiv was the beginning of the end and that similar breakthroughs were only a matter of weeks away.

Russia is still fighting and still has plenty of men and materiel to throw into this conflict.
