Chicken and egg situation with Su-75? It won't go into production without orders but it won't get orders before it is in production...

thats why everyone is hesitant giving Ukrainians any jets or set orders at a timeframe when the war is over.

yes you read the same article as I did. Only a static and flying prototype, contracts have to be signed later for orders and production.

An episode of Russian special forces snipers at work in the Kremensky forest. There is no actual battle, the group is waiting for the return of three scouts who went ahead to reconnoiter Ukrainian positions. Judging by the video, the scouts started the battle, after which they retreated to the positions of the main group, shown at the end of the video. A Ukrainian mortar fired at the scouts. As a result of the battle, one scout was wounded, at the end the group presumably went on the attack, the video is shortened.

Footage of the attack of Russian modified FPV drones VT-40 Sudoplatov, controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian IFV AIFV-B-C25. The AIFV-B-C25 infantry fighting vehicle is based on the M113A1 armored personnel carrier. The AIFV-B-C25 IFV was produced in Belgium, developed in 1979. One of the armament options of the AIFV-B-C25 IFV is a 25-mm Oerlikon KBA cannon paired with a 7.62-mm FN MAG machine gun. These IFVs were previously used by the Ukrainian 15th Mechanized Brigade "Steel Cordon". The Ukrainian IFVs were hidden in a hangar in the village of Kolodeznoye, in the Kupyansk direction. A Ukrainian armored car Roshel Senator was also stored there, they are produced in Canada. Judging by the video, all the equipment was destroyed by drones.

Ukrainian servicemen witnessed the impact of a Russian ODAB-500 bomb equipped with a UMPK module. The video is rare and archival, the location of the shooting is not reported, the bomb was presumably dropped by a Su-34NVO aircraft, the bomb exploded over the target. The ODAB-500 bomb was developed by GNPP Bazalt in the late 1980s, it contains ethylene oxide or piperylene, depending on the version. There are 4 versions of bombs in total: ODAB-500, ODAB-500P, ODAB-500PM and ODAB-500PMV. The damaging factor of the ODAB-500 bomb is a blast wave with a pressure of up to 120 atmospheres and thermal radiation of up to 2000 degrees, some call the bomb a vacuum bomb. The radius of destruction of the ODAB-500 bomb is from 30 to 300 meters, depending on the altitude of the explosion and the weather. The ODAB-500 bomb weighs 500 kg and can be equipped with a parachute. The bomb's TNT equivalent reaches one ton.

The crew of the Ukrainian T-64BV tank showed the consequences of several strikes by Russian drones. The video was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia. The tank is equipped with "Mangal" type protection. The crew decided to abandon the tank.

The Russians have still not kicked the Ukrainians out of Kursk Oblast.

This is pretty embarassing.
They will not kick Ukrainians out of kursk oblast since it will be a strategic mistake
Unlike Ukraine's frontline in Donbass, Kursk is a flatland with no defensive fortifications whatsoever; in other words, it is the ideal hunting ground to bleed Ukraine's elite troops to death

Mark my words, history will document the kursk offensive as one of the worst strategic mistakes in modern warfare since Russia is advancing on all fronts with strategic Ukrainian cities falling like Dominoes rn

With cities 'falling like dominoes', Russia should quickly occupy all of Ukraine. How long to occupy the rest of Ukraine? By the sound of things, just a few weeks or months.

A little bit of reality...

In 3 years Russia has occupied about 20% of the country and when it started the war it already occupied perhaps 10%.

Of course, Trump may defeat Ukraine by going back on all the promises of US support made by the previous president.

Seems like Russia has used SU34s to thier utmost capacity at this war.
They've had so many losses in the first year. I believe at least 10% of the all Su-34s produced were shot down in the war. But they adapted.

Kurakhove has fallen
Toretsk has fallen
Chasiv Yar has fallen
Time is ticking for Kupyansk and Pokrovsk
Russia is now only 5km for Denipro border
The kursk territory that Ukraine holds now is only a third of what it actually was last year
And Ukraine is under pressure to lower the military recruitment age to 18
With US reports indicating that Russia has around 80k troops comprised mainly of foreign mercenaries with Russian inflation at an all time low, and Ukraine getting destroyed economically, militarily, and demographically and I wont even begin on how corrupt the Ukrainian govt is with tons of luxury cars and familirs from Ukraine residing in Europe
And all of this and Russia's core population is still bloody intact

We can go on and on but all data and indicators are pointing to a severe Ukrainian defeat

I agree that Ukraine is losing on the ground but you do not address my observation that Russia has taken 3 years to occupy about 10% of Ukraine.

Russian inflation at an all time low? I suggest you listen to V Putin. He thinks that inflation is a problem. Would he say that if it was at an all time low? My economic data source predicts it will continue rising this month.

I have an interest in economics. Russia stopped releasing most data about its economy, making it very difficult to assess how it is doing. However the data that can be pieced together suggests that things are bad in the Russian economy. Same for Russian government finances. What cannot be hidden is the bank base rate and that is the highest it has been for decades.

Yes, there is corruption in Ukraine. It infects Russia from top to bottom, though, I think.

The population of Russia has dropped since the war started. Several hundred thousand left the country to avoid conscription in 2022. Many went to Ukraine to die. Population has fallen by a million plus according to the sources I read. In a country with an ageing population and low birth rate, how much do you think deaths exceed births each year?

Keep believing what you have written in your post, if you like.

And let me guess Russia got absolutely 0 population from the territories they occupy right? These territories are home of around 7 million people prior to war, obviously alot of them are displaced or dead now but its estimated around half are under Russia now. They actually have more people than before.

I don't count people living under military occupation as part of the occupying country's population. If India were to occupy part of Bangladesh, would India's population rise and Bangladesh's population fall?

If Ukraine were to occupy part of Russia, would Ukraine's population rise and Russia's population fall?
