Keeping in mind that Russia was the country that could not stop a minor incursion of a 25K large mercenary force driving to Moscow -- shooting Russian air assets down as they went. The incursion only stopped after the FSB threatened and imprisoned the families of the mercenary leaders and then reached some type of financial agreement with Prigo to stop the incursion. Coupled with the hoped-for Russian leaders not coming over to Prigo's side.
No sir, that designation has already been awarded to you. All your brethrens' following links confirm exactly what I said before. Listen to yourself for a moment. One claims the entire Russian army is in the Ukraine and on its knees, the other claims the entire Russian financial system has crumbled. Yet life just goes on in Russia... Lol You people are so hopelessly brainwashed it's mind blowing. A textbook case of lunacy. I bet you believe anything someone says who claims to be progressive. Hilarious. Please eat your avocado toast, you seem to be suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms.
This is AN-2. A "kukuruznik" (corn-plane) produced in Russia starting in 1947. The factory that produces new and maintains existing AN-2s is warning that due to sanctions the whole fleet of AN-2s may be grounded within months. Even for a plane that has been produced since 1947 now there are too many foreign parts (including the engine) that it cannot be maintained.
Wow, what a great achievement that 'life goes on'. It's been nearly 500 days since the invasion, thousands have died, economy is in the gutter with many factories closed, many companies left, many conscripted but you see 'life goes on' and hence it's a victory. Life goes on in Myanmaar too, you would call it a roaring success. Clown logic from a Russian propagandist.
One is an estimate by Ukraine's army, the other is from UK intelligence. Ukraine will overestimate for propaganda needs, UK intelligence doesn't need to do that. Either way, the losses are extreme. Nice try though, you don't even understand the basics of warfare but come in here everyday to defend Russia like your life depends on it.
Who asked what you like? Nobody gives a shit, problem is your outright dishonesty on these threads defending Russia's failed invasion. 500 days, thousands dead, billions lost, economy in the gutter and you pretend 'life goes on'. Life went on after Chernobyl too, you would call it a roaring success.
Well you are going to like when the Russian Federation dissolves into a dozen of more separate nations even more than. Imagine -- a dozen "Russias" for you to cheer on.
Two different sources -- the Ukraine military estimates are higher than the U.K.'s Defense Ministry. The U.K. only counts tanks destroyed if their is proven photographic evidence. Here is the reality of what Russia is resorting to in regards to tanks for their military - T55s.
