Russia had the equipment (and a lot more) to lose. It’s quite realistic.
How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.
Russia has paid an enormous cost for very little in the way of gains. They haven’t even regained the land they retreated from in 2022.
But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.
Visually confirming thousands of destroyed pieces of equipment while avoiding duplicates is hard and mistakes will be made. They’re corrected as they’re found.
You’re happily felching Kremlin propaganda.
Two years, hundreds of thousands of casualties, tens of thousands of equipment losses and burning through Russia’s future generation and financial reserve
‘Winning’.

And helpfully, the social fabric is so strained at the moment with anti-vax nonsense that even the most basic advice like “stay home if you’re sick” or “try not to cough directly onto the face of anyone” would be meet with insane opposition.
Like Russia are actively doing right now?
Politically sure, but economically the USA is hurt by this war. You may as well make the case that it’s in China’s interest, or Indias.
But that wouldn’t align with Kremlin disinformation that you’re spreading. Wilfully or not.
Russia (and Putin) are so weak the USA forced them to invade their neighbour?
Cope.
Ukraine and Israel are both democracies with democratically elected governments.
You’re regurgitating kremlin talking points. If you’re not a Kremlin stooge, you’re a useful idiot.
Found the Kremlin stooge.
It’s like Kleenex rebranding to V and then telling everyone to refer to them as tissues.
It’s absolutely batshit. Way to destroy a strong brand, and any brand recognition.
How were those free and fair elections in the USSR?
I had rats until I developed an allergy to them and couldn’t get more once the old boys passed away.
They’re fantastic, underrated little critters.
Got any coins and awards sitting in your account ready to dish out? Did you buy them with cash money?
Well, in September they’re all being removed with no compensation.
Yay.
It’s 2009, 2014, 2017 and 2020 all over again.
They keep promising great new battery tech just around the corner and never delivering.
If I was a cynic, I might think they’re simply doing it to put people off buying current EVs so they’re not saddled with ‘old tech’.
While you wait for our amazing new battery, pick yourself up a great new hybrid…
iPhone has enormous market dominance in the US and no sideloading.
