This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Depends on where you are looking for data. Russia can quickly make shells and weapons that are simple and perfect for this situation if one doesn't care about casualties.

NATO isn't set up that way. Army ammunition factories like the one in SE Iowa are ramping up. One has to remember that the Russian economy is 1/3 gas/oil and 1/5 military weapons pre war.

Also in the equation is Ukraine's GDP is about 5k per year and Russia's is 17k per year with 100 million more people. It's going to be a race, but the reports I get out of Ukraine aren't looking good. One can't just watch videos of all things Russian blowing up.

In the end, one side will break like in WW1. If it's the Russian's then the nuclear option is a possibility
On the other hand Russia has had to use thousands of shells shipped in from North Korea.
 


"Russian security forces are engaged in armed conflict with alleged militants in the town of Karabulak in the Ingushetia republic, according to the Russian news source Baza.

Eyewitnesses reported that the firefight involved grenade launchers and automatic weapons, but that the shooting has died down.

The fighting is reportedly localized in an apartment building where security forces have blockaded alleged militants. Security forces claimed that the fighters were planning a series of terrorist attacks throughout Russia.

The Kyiv Independent could not indepenently verify these reports at time of publication.

Ingushetia is located in the North Caucasus and shares a border with Georgia to the south. It is one of Russia's most unstable regions, with the insurgency in nearby Chechnya at times spilling over its borders."

Doesn't matter how many shells Russia can make, if we arm Ukraine with the missiles and tech to blow up their rail supply lines 100km inside Russia. Those shells can stack up for miles away from the front lines, if we give Ukraine the tools it needs.
 
No helicopter lookin' for a murder
Two in the mornin', got the Fatburger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read, "Ice Cube's a pimp!" (Yeah)
Drunk as hell, but no throwin' up
Halfway home, and my pager's still blowin' up
Today, I didn't even have to use my AK
I gotta say it was a good day, shit!

Looks like that thing was taking multiple hits from a Bradley...

In theory yes. The US tends to get bored and not finish. Russian military is built on wearing down the enemy. Will be interesting with WW3 on the table.

Hit the rail supply lines, daily, 100km inside Russia.
Hit the places you just hit, so you off some of the repair crews and repair equipment.

Give Ukraine the missiles needed to do this. Use as many NATO assets as needed to get the job done.

Yep. Daily, nightly, and double down on Tuesday.

I think the lesson of two years of war is it goes much better for the entrenched defenders vs attackers.
Yes. And I am gobsmacked by the numbers. I do take the casualties with a healthy grain of salt, and I do think the equipment counts as destroyed many vehicles which have been recovered and repaired, but the scale of verifiable daily losses is incredible. The loss of the planes alone is insane.

Each plane is an experienced pilot lost.

And you cannot just throw more cannon fodder into a jet plane to fly them.....

That, and articles have said that with each loss they are overusing the remaining aircraft a little bit more. There will come a point where Russia is losing planes just for mechanical/maintenance reasons. All the while Ukraine does not have a functional Air Force.

The Russian leadership simply has no concern about casualties. Putin is psychotic. Maybe Zelensky was too cautious last Summer in pushing an offensive, but he feels the pain of losses.
