My apologies if this is re-post: U.S. believes Russia has committed more than 80 percent of pre-staged troops into Ukraine: senior U.S. defense official. Russia has not been able to advance on Kyiv due to fuel & sustainment problems. "Not only are they running out of gas, they're running out...

Ukrainians dealing with the current spate of unattended and illegally parked vehicles....

According to Ukraine MOD:

Welcome to the forum! (despite the circumstances we meet under). Hope you are staying safe friend (if you are in Ukraine).

After getting off phone with UK friend in know just earlier, I can tell you that NATO is doing a lot of logistical analysis real time....on exactly what time and space ukraine should interdict certain convoys etc....and factoring for what ukraine has (and what will arrive for later and so is...

Yup....but typical mouthbreathing mob doesnt care and has now got their way on this. I was lookign forward to this being another example of good IND-TR relationship like with the HSL replenishment ship stuff. Sigh!

We can agree to disagree, its no biggie. You are telling me that money that goes to the tsar + boyars suddenly doesn't matter in the end if its non-military in original intent? Interesting. (you know how finance flows + diversions work in the end?) The west should surely apply that principle...

A very unfortunate thing that has played out in the end as it has....

Lets revisit all of this after we see how it goes with Russia this year....the dust needs to settle and we need to look at the larger situation that prevails in the world settings and levers. This is not small stuff.

Xi will wait and watch this year (especially since hands full on how these things now settle with Putin and West to take forward). Usual flexing on taiwan strait might increase a bit....but I really do not think they want or are even prepared for that war with Taiwan. It would be another...

Well they don't give us a whole lot to go upon since the 79 debacle with Vietnam. PRC has changed a lot since, but it has not done a huge mobilisation to study stress and strain....maybe it really does not want to find out too much about itself and keep that kind of thing as an unknown. It is...

Yep, very well said. It's not for nothing that my buds that are in the know stateside have told me US army seriously needs a decade or more to "unlearn" all the COIN bad habits it has picked up for the last couple (in AFG and IRQ)....to make it more a regular conventional army (to deal with...

Let us set up a brahmos TB2 bartering system :D

What do folks think? Should India get some validations done while world attention is focused intensely on Russia+Ukraine? IMO, it should be a MIRV test anyway... that is more relevant now than the final range stuff.

They really didnt think things through enough....or invest enough for this kind of war.... Wanted a quick fold by their version of shock and awe..... This is what happens when you are oligarch energy economy grown too addicted to nuclear deterrence and brandishing as be all end all. There is...

Something is better than nothing (especially if well backed by supporting weaponry and NATO AWACs link). Every bit counts.....ukraine has lot of good pilots without planes right now. Have to use that resource to the max.

How much room for negotiation is there in end when fascist tyrant bully came in stating a "de nazification" purpose on you? The bully thought this is over quickly and now that it is not....has to contend with severe loss of face....something bullies absolutely hate. The bully was basically...

Super easy bluff to call....actually to keep calling.

@HTurk see what I mean? Any hypocrite lip from anyone in the west..... we go....uh talk to your own WAY bigger mess first....and prove that stuff before any tough guy flexing crap on others. We pay Russia literal pennies for each dollar West gives and gave to them. This is using purely...
