It’s doomed to fail. We all know how adept Russia is at logistics. They will certainly find ways to bring their product to market.

They probably did. It’s common knowledge Russia is an economic juggernaut. Look how many oligarchs they have.

Strange how the narrative has gone from Russia will be wiped out economically and out of food in 3 weeks to they are a juggernaut

Turn on your sarcasm detector. Russia is far from an economic power.

Now it is odd that attention has changed from how Russia was rolling up the Ukranians in the East to how Russia’s economy is doing great.

I never thought economic sanctions would do much to hurt Russia’s war effort except that they might have issues getting some key electronic components for equipment. But Russian will make do with nothing if the Czar, dictator, or Putin says so. They will starve to death making shells in their factories before their rulers divert resources for the people. You can’t starve Russia.

G7 doesn't include India or China. Those two will abide by it because they are getting huge discounts already

I think the cracks are starting to show. The big long term hit is foreign investment. Nobody wants to do business with criminals, criminals tend to steal all the money.

SIAP...

Russian losses to date, as reported by Oryx, now over 1,000 tanks... and these are only the ones confirmed, it's probably more.


LINK to Oryx

Tanks (1002, of which destroyed: 620, damaged: 42, abandoned: 51, captured: 289)

quote:

Armoured Fighting Vehicles (514, of which destroyed: 354, damaged: 6, abandoned: 29, captured: 125)


quote:

Infantry Fighting Vehicles (1077, of which destroyed: 712, damaged: 24, abandoned: 72, captured: 269)


The recent trend seems to be more "captured" equipment vs pieces that were "destroyed" earlier in the war.

The bridge of the Nova Kakhovka dam has collapsed due to numerous Ukrainian strikes. The railway bridge did not collapse but is severely damaged.

From Twitter...

Nope, millions might die but Russian leaders will not care. They eill continue with their policies.

Ask the Ukranians how much empathy Stalin had for the people. Ask Russians how the Czars took care of them. Putin falls right in there with these other guys.

30% of all of Russia’s railway cars are now unusable due to not having enough bearings to replace them which is an estimated 25,000-35,000 railway cars and could be 50% in a short amount of time. This is very damaging to Russia since they rely on their rail system to transport just about everything. They obviously get bearings and other parts like this from the west because they also can’t repair the brakes on their western airplanes because of sanctions.

Only seen from one source so no idea how true it is

Residents of the occupied city of Melitopol, Ukraine who accepted Russian passports are now receiving orders to sign up for military service. One online user called it “cash back” for RF citizenship #UkraineRussiaWar

Good for the narcissist Germans who didn't listen to Trump. May frostbite claim their testicles this winter.

I don't know about Russian trains but in the US all train car trucks have roller bearings (high precision as well) unless the car is ancient.
