And yet unfortunately they will ,
How roll them on logs over the land? The Bosporus strait is closed to russian warships
Has anyone found any reasonable factual sources/articles about how Russia are able to keep up this constant flow of artillery and missiles?
Ukraine have the USA and Europe working around the clock to supply and manufacture artillery at great cost and effort while Russia are supposedly letting off 4 times as many shells a day with a heavily sanctioned economy with a GDP smaller than Italy or south Korea.
I would be interested to know how they keep these shells coming?
I would also like to know how they are doing with reproducing new tanks for the Frontline after a disastrous year for their motorized divisions in Ukraine.
I find it easy to secure information on what America and Europe are producing for Ukraine but nothing on the current abilities and capacity of Russia to restock the Frontlines.
The Americans are already not allowed transit armament through Shannon (whether they do or not being another argument I guess).
The idea we would block American transport planes from using Irish airspace doesn't deserve a response, though I'm not exactly surprised someone asked it.
So the ruskies are naming their ship eerily similar to the preferred gas the Nazis used in WW2 in the gas chambers - Zyklon B...HHHHHhhhmmmmmmm
You lot get such a hard time around here I just had to tank your post 👍
When you really examine what putin is doing, agressively depleting his artillary and tanks, that's including his stock of WW11 kit. Making room for bigger, better, bolder stock, as darth would say, a master strategist.
As to stocking that front line, I'm sure Russia has a plan, getting prisoners out there was a master stroke, who wouldn't want lying, cheating, murdering, rapist, child molesting degenerates fighting beside you, watching your back. Knowing in your time of need there's a grade a felon looking after you must be comforting. Putin will prob look at sanitoriums, orphanages for his next battle ready elite force. Some say he's secretly training those 16k Ukrainian kids that begged to get back to the main land, they should be ready for the next wave of attack, with the newly developed wunderwaffe. Your right Ukr are screwed.
Could be very relevant if the conflict expands, especially if they are suitably equipped for cruise missiles, and the subs have the ability to launch the nuke torpedoes..
I think that poster is American (?)
I just want to vent that the McCarthyism in this thread is getting ridiculous IMHO.
America really is a well oiled machine when it comes to their military.
Reuters say that Iran has shipped 300,000, not sure how many they have got from North Korea/Iran but that could be a big number too. The US produce about 20,000 per month (just by chance in Biden's home town), so they have been buying them up where they can. Unfortunately now Bulgaria is turning pro Russia they have cut off supplies to Ukraine (they have huge stockpiles of artillery ammo).
Russia has a number of large inland waterways and canals connecting the major rivers with each other and the Baltic. while the passage of larger ships might not be possible due to size restrictions in the locks and artificial canals, corvettes and submarines should be able to use this system to bypass the Bosporus. A Baltic Fleet vessel could for example transit from St. Petersburg via Lake Ladoga, the Svir River, Lake Onega, the Volga-Baltic Canal, the Volga itself and finally the Volga-Don Canal into the Black Sea. Similarly, a Northern Fleet ship coming down from Severomorsk could transit via the White Sea, and the White Sea-Baltic Canal into Lake Onega, following the route of the Volga-Baltic Waterway from there on. This system also connects to the Caspian Sea. As mentioned, this system is not large enough for full-size destroyers, let alone cruisers, but some of the more compact warships should be able to use it without too much in the way of trouble.
Should be for all the oil we 'liberate.
Seems the big issues with the offensive isn’t the Leopards and Bradley’s aren’t performing well.
They just aren’t performing as well as they would if they had proper artillery and infantry support that NATO would have when operating those vehicles.
All from a NATO spokesperson. Ukraine are fighting with one hand tied behind it’s back.
It's estimated that Russia currently also have the ability to produce about 20,000 shells a month.
Russia is estimated to use about
10,000-20,000 artillery shells a day.
Ukraine is estimated to use about
4000-7000 artillery shells per day.
USA hopes to produce circa 80,000 shells a month in 5 years time.
The race for procurement of artillery shells is well and truly underway.
Here we go again 😅
Looks a bit more genuine this time.
If reports police are backing Wagner this time are not b****x.
The facility that is under attack is storing man portable nuclear weapons (suitcase nukes).
That's not gone unnoticed, I couldn't find any Russian to English translation for it ,
Bit of a strange coincidence
And yet Russian ships transverse the bosphorus straight full of stolen grain then transferr the cargo to ships in the Mediterranean sea unimpeded,and ships travel into the black sea carrying weapons and munitions through the Mediterranean sea into the blacksea and to Crimea or other Russian ports unimpeded.
Care to explain
The person you are quoting has proven to be a pathological liar.
He has more.
Is he staging with actors?
Do you have to login to Twitter to see the replies?
big difference between a cargo ship and a missile cruiser now
Yes. I don’t have an account on twitter so I can’t use it whatsoever. Need to be logged in to see anything
Igor sushko is not reliable. He may be right on some things but can be 100% wrong on others.

And yet a new missile cruiser is going to begin operations in the blacksea,
if it was built in rostok maybe but the turks wont allow any warships into the black sea. How do you not know this?
I am reading that Bulgaria has planned to send around 100 APC's to Ukraine.
He doesn't know anything.
He's making it all up.
Just like that guy Chuck Pfarrer, Canadian Ukrainian Volunteer, and James Vasquez.
