"The first victim of the outbreak of war is the truth" For a whole year, NATO has been fighting in Ukraine against Russia. Tens of billions of dollars have been spent. Stocks of weapons and ammunition, according to statements by Western politicians, are running out. And weak Russia move forward. It's funny.

On their “aircraft carrier” since that video it has caught fire once again. It’s not just propulsion and flammability issues either. It doesn’t have basic things like hot running water and flushing toilets. It’s a barely floating ship wreck.

[@CorporalCookie]

Watched a video on the history of that ship. It was built in Ukraine of all places, iirc. And part of the problem with it was that Russia decided to build the ship, without ever putting the necessary infrastructure for its maintanence up before it was ready and out and about. The current drydock its at had to be made by combining two smaller ones that had existed there before, because there wasnt a drydock large enough to fit the ship.

I have this Jewish friend, who had spent his 2 obligatory years in a Russian (then Soviet) nuclear strategic garrison far in the South. They had an "unexpected inspection" visit from a big potato from the Moscow General Staff HQ. It was a genuine surprise (unlike ordinary "unexpected inspections" everyone knew about a month beforehand). When he popped up in the middle of a winter night, demanded the general alert signal & beat to quarters - he was summarily ridiculed & subjected to rude language. An hour later the garrison officers managed to gather about the half of the sleepy soldiers & lined them up on the field, so the boss could swear & yell all he liked. That was a garrison of the Soviet nuclear strategic force, the Terror of the World, lemme remind you. Count in the time of the "response" & "retaliation", please.

Dude... if you think the orc billboards in Kherson were bad, you should see what they're doing in Mariupol.

An even bigger dupe than the Srebrenica massacre (that's the one where Serbian soldiers stole the uniforms from Dutch peacekeepers and used them to round up and slaughter over 500 unarmed people in case you don't remember.) The Ruzzians have trucks set up with digital billboards driving around just spewing Z propaganda. They're telling surviving Mariupol residents that Ukraine lost the war and it's nothing but Z World, now. They built a wall around the theatre, where it's estimated that around 600 people died. They left them all in there to rot until just recently, when they started bulldozing the theatre, to turn it into some Ruzzian military admin building. The cemetery has exploded with numbered mass graves. At least somebody's burying them and putting flowers on the graves. It is estimated that there are more than 9 000 people buried there. The Ruzzians are also forcing hundreds of thousands of deportations on Mariupol residents with children. I know there's more. The horrors they will probably unearth when the Ukrainians take back that city will make Bucha look like a Sunday picnic :(

They are also just being dropped and told to get on with it, no food or water rations are left with them. One intercepted phone call the guy was complaining about where his unit was dropped. There were contract soldiers already dug in who told them to occupy the forward trenches. They were shelled and mortared, as well as hit by drone munitions. The company was reduced to 15 survivors in days. The contract soldiers knew when food was being delivered and wouldn't share it, though neither group got water.

If someone is interested in knowing what a Russian cannon, from the same time as the tsar cannon, that actuall was used look like, search for "Galten och Suggan" on Swedish wikipedia.

160000 sets of winter gear were also stolen from Russian warehouses and nobody knows who it was and where they are now! You can't have a proper war if everyone is corrupt.

Welcome to Real Life

Please check out the video called Why Arabs Lose Wars. It's basically the same thing with Russia. Dictatorships usually have their Armies to protect themselves first and foremost.

And given the Russian army's performance in Ukraine, Putin must now have doubts......

@Brian The 2023 russian domestic security budget is larger than the budget for the russian military.

Nothing else is worth worrying, but those nukes.. they can be 100MT .. I mean tsar bomb was 50 and shockwave went around the planet 3 times..

[@ashscott6068]

Bombs yes. There's no size limit on bombs. But no russian bomber can get anywhere near a target. The warheads on ICBMs are WAY smaller. Also: Nuclear weapons need frequent, very expensive maintenance. You can bet your ass it's at the very least been skipped many times so that someone can pocket the money or sell the materials

You paused a while on the submarine, it´s a Typhoon-class cold war sub with nucelar capabilities. It´s sole purpose was to emerge from under the ice on the northern hemisphere and launch nukes on the U.S. A true doomsday device with standing orders to launch if Russia was atttacked. They are decomissioned now but are the biggest submarine vehicles ever built. You really should check out some videos about them here on KZbin. The movie Hunt for Red October is centered around one of theere submarines.

[@Cybernaut76]

Russians would probably have done better not to even try to steal it from Ukraine when Soviet Union broke up. Truth be told, Russia does not have the infrastructure to maintain and keep it like USA has infrastructure to maintain and keep their aircraft carriers. Kuznetsov is likely in rather awful condition now. Ready to serve as scrap metal.

Some people argued with me that i was underestimating the Russian army as far back as 2010 and that i did not know what i was talking about; needless to say they were terribly wrong and made a buffoon out of themselves Even as a nobody on the internet i have obsessively studied Putin's Russia, geopolitics and warfare for more than 20 years and unless you have a similar kind of insight you will be wrong about something before i am If you are going to argue against someone who know their shit, please guys do me a favor: do not rely on paper data as it is almost completely meaningless in a realistic comparison, use proper equations and accurate calculations based on existing scenarios or dont bother arguing at all because it becomes an opinion and your opinion is always biased making you a wannabe expert instead of an actual expert Finally the biggest difference between Russia and the west is always in the mentality Russia: why invest in war if one looks unlikely? West: if you want peace, be ready for war This video's creator was flawless in his evaluation of Russian armed forces

COTS parts for single-use, disposable drones is smart as long as you have a secure supply chain. I've got few issues with the drone construction - The cheap Iranian drones are proving their worth, even if all they do is soak up much, much more expensive missiles. With that said, the Russian military is a paper bear.
