over 650 heavy artillery, and another 100 SPAs & 30 GMLRS equipped rocket artillery.
So many hundreds. And Ukraine cucked the whole Russian military with only a dozen or so HIMARS, soooooo.
I've seen copium and I've seen copium, but this takes the cake.
Why do you think it's wrong that Russia has a few hundred tanks left in Ukraine? Oryx has photographic evidence of 1,419 Russian tank losses so far, and there aren't going to be photos of every loss, so the real number is somewhere between 1500-2500 somewhere, which is essentially the entire Russian deployable tank force pre-invasion. Russia has had to keep refurbishing old tanks to keep SOME tanks in the field, so in the last 2 months a lot of the losses have been T-62s and T-64s. So this is barrel scraping for Russia. If you have contrary evidence, by all means.
You literally think a corrupt puppet shithole non-country is going to beat Russia...
not particularly corrupt, certainly not more than russia
not a puppet
is a country
has already been winning the war for months, hence why Putin was forced to cope with a mobilization.
I'm sure you'll blame Biden and the "libs" once the said non-country starts losing badly...
Why would I? And how delusional do you have to be to believe that Ukraine would ever start losing?

So 1/20 of the French army in 1940. Very impressive!

You're still bragging about your Pothole Makers like you're a shareholder of Lockheed Martin.

Even imagining that this is not war propaganda, out of (tens of) thousands? Literally nothing.

Here's my contrary evidence: Russia has some of the world's most extensive natural resources. It would be trivial to turn out hundreds a tanks a week, as happened in World War II.
What disappoints me most is the Russian airforce. The responsible officer should follow the example of his predecessor in June 1941.

Sending the flower of your youth to die for American imperialism is not 'winning'.

Literally run by Victoria Nuland...

Where was this totally real country in 1990?
Why would I? And how delusional do you have to be to believe that Ukraine would ever start losing?
How delusional do you have to be to imagine that Russia could lose anything?
So far, Ukraine cannot even take Kherson, though considering the bad position of the Russian army there, I'd not be surprised if they did withdraw.
You have Russia Derangement Syndrome and Putin Derangement Syndrome, probably because you were raised by Cold Warrior parents.
The artillery power of the French army in 1940 was actually very large and outshined Germany's by a wide margin. Germany won the Battle of France handily thanks to getting lucky in the Ardennes + having a decisive airpower advantage.
You're still bragging about your Pothole Makers
You keep saying "potholes" even though HIMARS strikes shut down both bridges into Kherson and forced the Russians to rely on ferries.

They've made a lot of progress in the past 2 months. Remember when you were saying that Ukraine couldn't do offensives at all shortly before they did?

Every part of the French army outshone the German army, even the number of its aircraft. It was the appallingly poor leadership that did them in. That said, having 1/20 of the artillery of France is not exactly impressive.

They attacked "their own" infrastructure? Regardless, I should hope it would do better than the pictures you were bragging about a while back - because you'd be very sad for your tax dollars to pay for something as useless.

Any idiot can take undefended areas. I counted on the Russians not being idiots - which unfortunately is often a fool's bet.

Pls check the wiki on these things before you correct me. I just pulled up the wiki and: "The combined Allied total was 2,935 aircraft, about half the size of the Luftwaffe... The Germans had six times more medium bombers than the French." & "Allied total of about 14,000 guns, 45 per cent more than the Germans."
True. Stalin eventually ran the Finns out of bullets after the Russians took 321,000–381,000 total casualties. Does Putin have 321,000–381,000 total casualties men to spare fighting a 2nd Winter War? Why no, no he does not.
2022 Putin's Russia is nowhere near as powerful as 1939 Stalin's USSR was. And 2022 Finland is far stronger.
Finland has only 100 Leopard 2 tanks and that's all. No other tanks, even the old Soviet made tanks that Finland used to have have been dismantled.
False. Next time learn to read. The Finnish army has 100 Leopard 2 A4 and A6 main battle tanks each, as well as 27 in reserve, and 12 specialized variants. This is a total of 239.
239 of a tank which is superior to anything the Russians ever had, when the Russians are busy refurbishing old T-62s and T-64s to replace losses in Ukraine because they don't even have enough T-72s anymore.
And Russia has 900,000 active forces, 2M active reserves, and 27M reservists that have at some point of life served in military and could be mobilized with short training.
If any of that was true, why can't Russia keep enough manpower to man the front line in Ukraine. Clearly, the reality does not reflect Russia's "on paper" manpower claims. It is a proven fact that Russia has had manpower shortages and had units down to 25% strength in the Kharkiv offensive.

Finland has hundreds of Leopard 2 tanks, which are better than anything Russia has.
Finland's wartime strength is 240k troops. It keeps about 40k at short term readiness, which is more than enough.
I'm sure Stalin said the same thing for the Winter War and how did that turn out?
True. Stalin eventually ran the Finns out of bullets after the Russians took 321,000–381,000 total casualties. Does Putin have 321,000–381,000 total casualties men to spare fighting a 2nd Winter War? Why no, no he does not.
