Russian economy continues on its downhill path - ruble slides to 1USD = 101.30 RUB right now https://tradingeconomics.com/russia/currency#:~:text=The%20USDRUB%20increased%200.7005%20or,on%20November%2021%20of%202024 - inflation is not falling as hoped...

Russia is certainly burning through its stockpile of stored weapons. It has sufficient recruits to keep troop levels high but at the cost of burning through its workforce, stripping the economy of labour in order to send it to Ukraine. I do not think that Ukraine can regain on the battlefield...

If Israel lost assets/air assets in missile attacks, so what? That is to be expected in an attack by a large number of missiles. What is the point you are trying to make? That the Israeli air defence system is not impregnable? I would be curious to know what damage was done but I doubt it will...

Does it matter whether it takes 1 second or whether it takes 2? I imagine that RCS will be increased for 1 second or for 2.

What sort of something from England? Something from RR? I can't think what else you could mean.

I am astonished. Did he say when tests would start?

I don't think you can predict a country's GDP growth several years in the future with much confidence if it is in a very unstable and unpredictable situation - fighting an economic war. Russia's economic situation looks bad to me at the moment and likely to get worse and stay worse for some...

My guess is that the Russian economy will continue to grow for a short time. After that? The signs do look bad to me. PS https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/russia-economy-meltdown-looms-as-putin-is-handed-dire-stagflation-warning/ar-AA1u4QI0?ocid=BingNewsSerp

Russia is facing the mounting risk of stagflation, a think tank tied to the Kremlin has said. TsMAKP said the nation's high interest rates would trigger an economic downturn while inflation remains high. Russia's tight monetary policy is costing businesses profitability and risks spurring...

It is a shame for the UK that they did not lift restrictions a year or two ago. The UK assembly line could have done with a Typhoon order to keep the assembly line going. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/production-essentially-stopped-for-british-built-typhoons/

It would be ironical. Russia has said that it would be only be prepared to use nuclear weapons if its existence were threatened. On that basis it must approve of Ukraine only being prepared to use nuclear weapons if its existence is threatened. Who on earth might threaten Ukraine's existence?

I would expect Russia to push harder to gain ground after Trump's win . The report below tends to confirm the same. Although I have no evidence to support the number given, higher casualty numbers make sense to me...

I do not think that counteroffensive by Ukraine has had much probability of success in retrieving Ukrainian soil since late 2022. Ukraine has an area or about 900,000 sq km. To my knowledge (please do correct me if wrong) less than 1% of Ukraine territory has changed hands since 2023. On...

With that source, the number given has to be suspect but I think that a new record number of casualties may be true.

Not sure about that. IMO if one side is advancing, more enemy bodies should fall into their hands. The side retreating should not have so many enemy bodies fall into their hands.

I agree that in crude terms Russian manpower is inexhaustible. If North Korea chooses to continue to supply troops, that supply is inexhaustible. Ukraine does not have a limitless pool of troops in the same way. However, every man Russia sends to Ukraine (prisoners excepted) is a man removed...

A pattern of Russia having losses of 1,000+ a day seems to have been reported for a long time by the UK MOD. I do not think that they simply ask Ukraine for the numbers. Given that Russia is advancing, I can believe that Russian daily losses have risen. From what to what I do not know...

A lot of what I read from posters supporting Russia I dismiss as biased or ridiculous propaganda. The above report I can find credible. WARNING: VIDEO MAY CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES - but it is my source to support what I write I can can also find credible the above report of Russia...

I was not suggesting amalgamating the 2 engines. I was curious if Turkiye and ROK might gain something by exploiting each other's R&D and differing know how.
