That makes for a great echo chamber. By all accounts, Russian personnel and material losses have been shocking. Yes, every reasonable ...

Looking at the huge amount of armaments that are strewn about in Ukraine, I would say that in the near future, there are likely going to be a lot of small arms, RPGs, Manpads, etc. coming on to the black market.
