yes, Russia has no option to cede territory until winter, the momentum is gone, manpower is gone, weapon stocks are gone and the will to fight is gone. Ukraine has the willpower and mainly the military optimism on its jawans. But also because they are bolstered with a huge flux of NATO weapons. Russ...

Now the question is what can russia do operationally different to what they have been already doing. They have been very reluctant to throw more forces.

One of Russia's deputy ministers of Defense has been sacked. He was in charge of logistics, which included mobilization.

if you think Russia is some kind of crazy country that is going to respond with a nuclear strike on a conventional military the you are wrong. Russia knows that a nuclear strike will alienate itself with everyone and make it the most pariah country. Russia will mobilize and try to win it conventiona...

Modi gave a public rebuke to Putin. I have never heard him talking like this to any leader ever especially in front of media.

One of the reasons could be that Russia stopped selling highly discounted oil to India. I think Putin overplayed his hand very bad.

if Amreeka does sign the deal with Iran or remove sanctions against Venezuela then its all over for Russia. After I heard that Russia is getting weapons from NK, I knew Russia was in big trouble.

Today Russia confirmed that it was sabotage, but what was not clear is whether the sabotage was leaking the information about the base or was it planting explosives by a double agent. While other ammo dumps and bases might be kept secret, the air base was visible from air and doesn’t need someone to...

sabotage from within or special ops across the enemy lines?

Russia is in some trouble man. I really thought Russia as a very competent force, but if its self sabotage then serious questions will be raised within the ranks and their allegiance towards their country

What exact purpose does a 125 mm cannon for light tank fill? No matter what it won’t be able to out range any modern tank with their superior optics. Not to mention carrying all the rounds is a liability if it gets penetrated. Won’t it be more versatile for a light vehicle to be fitted with autocan...

at this point I have failed to fathom why Russia can't defend itself from cruise missiles or drones? Where is the highly vaunted S300/S400 units? Where is the air patrols?

^^^ Cyrano ji, there are different aspects one need to weigh in the current situation. A) Russia’s initial intent was to create a buffer between NATO and themselves by either scaring Ukraine into submission or deposing the current rulers. This has spectacularly failed- not only NATO expanded but Rus...

you have to keep the enemy guessing where the next attack or front is going to open so that their forces are spread thin. I think Russia is trying to seize the initiative and push forward.
