The majority of grain exports from Ukraine, in the past, have been to CHINA. Some went to The Netherlands, Spain and Germany.

So not really, the "fortifications" are not all that and a bag of chips. The dragon's teeth are easy to defeat, and tactics to run over trenches have been around for 100 years. Air support is not effective because it is far off on both sides, due bristling air defense systems especially on the Ukrainian side. Ukraine has received a lot of wheeled vehicles for quick and fast action during a breakthrough to get to defense in depth rear.
Russia has placed supplies at 90+ Km away from the front, and has shown limited trucking capability. Out of its 900 generals, only a handful of political appointees seem to rotate at its leadership in Ukraine.
The article seems to be a lipstick on a pig variety
The main points, as I read the article, was that while Russia's ability to adapt is limited by an array of factors and runs in to issues being widely adopted they still have made adaptions, mainly at the tactical level.
Meanwhile Ukraine needs to react to these adaptions and exploit them as thus far exploiting holes in the Russian doctrine has been a significant strength they can ill afford to become complacent about given their own constraints.

I am shocked I tell you, that the Russians now have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Actually, I am shocked that the Putin lovers haven't claimed that All Powerful, God Emperor Putin doesn't have it.
Does this make Ukraine the Rabbit of Caerbannog?

@VDV_Textbooks:
This is an interesting data point. We know that Russia is rationing artillery shells, and this is the not the first time that we've seen evidence that tank shells are also starting to run low.
One data point doesn't mean anything, but it's something to start paying attention to.

According to my trusted RU airborne troops source 98th division subunit's advance is delayed in Bakhmut due to the fact that whole tank company supporting them is out of ammunition.

Yes but now it is being stacked up in Eastern Europe driving the prices down, thus you have the protests from the farmers in the region. Not good for incumbent governments.

The slight adaptions have been open for sometime now. Nothing really new in this article. Each has been posted here. just not all in one article.

Yet another example of Russia screwing China. You are correct. It has been stacking up since Russia banned EU grain and produce in 2014. Likely a reason by some EU members to keep Ukraine out of the EU. Once it joins, the market to all of Europe is wide open to them
FWIW, the EU pays some farmers not to grow crops. This is the case in Bulgaria. About a decade ago, someone I know, once with the Reagan Admin as an advisor on Russia, was floating the idea of buying up farmland in Eastern Europe just for such subsidies to make profits

A few years ago my cousin's husband, a Mustang Captain at the time, found himself in temporary command of an ICBM wing for about 24 hours when they sacked everybody above him for gross mismanagement. He was the highest ranking guy not involved in any of it and they had to fly a new command staff in.

Imagine a world where you believe British intelligence reports, the communist European Union or Egypt will play a role on who wins this conflict.
"If you step into a room and can't tell who the sucker is...you ARE the sucker!"
Carry on, war hawks!

I'm glad to see this. The Egyptian military is pro US.
That's what you got from that?

The document says that Egypt intended to use its weapons production capabilities for Ukraine as a "lever" to obtain advanced American military products.
Hell...they might still be secretly sending stuff to Russia.

You should be banned for being political on the OTL. Also fallacies don’t help your argument.
UK is the last media to trust. It’s hilarious people saying how trustworthy it is yet I bet they’ve never watched it or know how things operate over there.

More or less trustworthy than that 7:1 casualty ratio you saw on Tucker?
