So Elon allows posts like this now?
3k tanks achieved. Tomorrow will be 100k KIAs.
More weapons heading to Russia from our good friends in China.
SIAP
Not good.
Azu International is an example of how supply channels to Russia have remained open despite Western export restrictions and manufacturer bans. At least $2.6 billion of computer and other electronic components flowed into Russia in the seven months to Oct. 31, Russian customs records show. At least $777 million of these products were made by Western firms whose chips have been found in Russian weapons systems: America’s Intel Corp, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), Texas Instruments Inc and Analog Devices Inc., and Germany’s Infineon AG.

The supply chain that keeps tech flowing to Russia
As Western countries have tightened restrictions on tech exports to Russia, some suppliers have found new ways of doing business with Moscow.
AP article on Russia using "kill lists" to round up influential Ukrainian leaders and citizens in occupied territories. Same technique they used after invading Poland in 1939 which led to the Katyn Massacre.

Sounds like par for the course for the Imperial Federation, I mean Russia.
Couldn't even read the rest of this. Absolutely disgusting. Why does Russia get to be a country?
Next up will be 117k, more KIA than America lost in all of World War 1.
The spirit of General Pershing will send an apparitional fist bump when that happens.
The sooner Putin dies, the better. But it would be a shame if he died as a free man instead of at the end of a rope.
282 planes. Dayum. 282 pilots plus or minus.
Russian military is being gutted by a supposedly smaller, weaker neighbor.
The oligarchs have to be talking exit strategy by now.

I think they've all likely been talking exit strategy for a while, but it's hard to do when you have to avoid windows or stairwells.
If you want a very insightful read on how dire it is within Russian forces, this tweet/essay of a Russian war correspondent was posted the other day and is an excellent read:
Russian volunteer Murz on why Russia is not ready to defend Ukrainian winter offensive • WarTranslated
Below is a translation of a long blog post by the Russian volunteer Murz whom we’ve covered extensively during the past several months. In this post, Murz, who has been previously critical of the way the Russian Army is conducting the “special operation”, goes over the potential of a Ukrainian...

Per other sources, this will be a trial shipment.
A few more details than what I saw before.
‘We’re Just Meat’: Russian Military Keeps Killing Its Own Troops
AFP via GettyRussian soldiers sent next door to kill Ukrainians are increasingly getting killed by their own military instead.That’s according to the independent outlet iStories, which on Tuesday released a new report detailing Russia’s deadly mishaps on the battlefield, with drunk soldiers...
We know Wagner is recruiting convicts and putting them in the field. This article has information about it given by one such convict captured by Ukraine.

Captured Wagner militant tells Ukrainska Pravda about recruitment and fighting in Ukraine
The Wagner Group, the infamous Russian private military company, is recruiting inmates from penal colonies, promising them amnesty after six months of fighting in the war, as well as money and a chance to get back to normal life afterwards.
By the time this is all said in done, Ukraine will be unconquerable by the Russians, short of a nuclear Armageddon. The Russians have tripped over their dicks repeatedly and delightfully, and if they ever get their shit together from an organizational/leadership/doctrinal standpoint, Ukraine is going to be armed to the teeth. Once they modernize their warplanes with NATO warplanes and armaments, they will be even harder to take over. And of course, this does not even address the fact that they will become a NATO member protected by Article 5.
Russia has shit the bed. Their military is trashed, the brain drain is epic, cash flow via carbon sales will only come via black market for the foreseeable future, all neighbors are doubling down on defensive spending, internal bloodshed will only increase…
Wow. A “world power” has been reduced to an obvious criminal enterprise with crippled abilities within a ten month window.
putin’s folly will have negative impacts for generations. Sucks for the peeps whose history gave us the Bolshoi, world class porcelain products including the amazing Faberge eggs, chess masters, stoic resistance to Hitler, etc…

All of that is wonderful. The thing which will be hardest to overcome is the brain drain, either through KIAs or men fleeing the country to avoid being conscripted. From what I understand, lack of leadership and military know how is getting lots and lots of Russians killed. The cliché meatgrinder really is an apt metaphor. It wouldn't necessarily have to be that way, but no one knows any better, or to avoid being the squeaky wheel which gets greased, the people that know better continue to just send wave after wave of infantry to be blown to pieces. Either way, Russian men of fighting age are dying by the tens of thousands, and with many of their deaths their knowledge and know how is snuffed out.
It is unimaginable to think of being a serf in one of the far reaching republics of pootin’s Russia today. The men are expendable, the women are lied to, the children have no future, the oligarches remain above the fray…
American citizens should mouth a thank you daily for our circumstances.

It's insane to recognize that Russia will likely have had as many men actively killed "IN" combat as we lost in total during all of WWI. They've already far surpassed how many we lost IN combat, but we're nearing total deaths and that doesn't count how many they've lost not on the field of battle.
Good thing Biden’s president and not the former guy.
