When we give away our old shite what do you think we do for our own military, exactly? Just not replace it?
We replace it with way better shite.

That is way more expensive
And likely more lethal and effictive.

Kadyrov's soldiers, that he sent to Ukraine, were... useless, but apparently they aren't soldiers, they're like actors picked because they look right and all they do back home is make propaganda videos. They are all in their 20s... too young to have ever been the fabled Chechen warriors that people fear... they've only brutalized their own people in Chechnya, and have never seen combat.
Their only real role, other than threatening Zelensky that they were coming to get him on TikTok (and getting ambushed trying to join that convoy to Kyiv in the first week of the war) ended up being to hang back and execute deserting Russian troops.
There was an interesting article from a Ukrainian town that had been under Russian occupation. The locals said the Chechen soldiers were hated and resented even by other Russian troops because while the regular Russian troops were on the front lines fighting and dying the Chechens hung out in the rear robbing people, especially local Ukrainians.

We might intend to replace it with better shite but have you not kept up with the defense industry over the last decade plus? We never meet deadlines, we always blow way past the budget, and rarely produce the intended quantities. Aircraft, ships, missiles, ammunition...everything ends up being a massive clusterfrick.

It is foolish on the Russian's part to attack residences that play no part in the war rather than military targets.
They could be just bad shots.

Some of the stuff was already retired and had been or was being replaced ie M113s.
As long as any of our potential foes are building up their lethality we have to do the same.

NUCLEAR EMERGENCY IN POLAND AFTER RUSSIAN KH-47 KINDŽAL SUPERSONIC MISSILE ATTACK. 17 billion cubic meters of natural gas blown up near Lviv
UKRAINE: Ukraine is "finished" from an energy point of view: 17 billion cubic meters of natural gas were blown up from an underground reservoir at a depth of 50 meters!
At dawn, Russia achieved the largest strategic strike in Ukraine in history, when it destroyed the largest underground gas storage in Bilche-Volitsko-Uher in the city of Stryjak near Lvov with Kh-47 Kinzhal supersonic missiles and Kh-101 cruise missiles, along with 17 billion cubic meters stored gas!
The attack came from three different sides.
The destruction of natural gas, combined with Russia's inability to supply new gas, means that Ukraine is "done" from an energy perspective.
A total of eight MiG-31 fighters carrying Kinzhal and Kh-101 aircraft hit the stack, causing a nuclear-like mushroom cloud visible from Poland, 100 km from the Ukrainian border.
The tank was located at a depth of 50 meters from the surface of the earth, which did not prevent Kinžal from going through the stony ground "like a knife through butter" and exploding into the tank!
In Poland, radiation measurements began after what initially appeared to be a nuclear attack there, but this has not been confirmed.
The country currently has less than half of its gas reserves, and after the destruction of the reservoir, it cannot even be supplied from the European market.
The attack on this underground gas reservoir was confirmed by the Ukrainian company Zdroj 24 news
I am not questioning the attack or the hits on the natural gas facility because those have been confirmed. However, I am questioning if the missiles went through 50 meters of earth and caused a mushroom visible from Poland 100 kms away. IF so I would like to see those pictures. That has to be a heck of a fireball. Anyone seen any pics?

You missed the start of the war and you exaggerated the gains.

1. Do you think thing in Russia and/or China do not end up in clusterf**ks?
2. You realize that around 90% of the tanks Russia produced last year were T55s, T62s, and T72s taken out of storage made to run and sent to the front. They were not even modernized.
3. Last I checked we had not given away any A10s or Apaches. Those things can run through Russian tanks like you wish Putin's penis would run through your anus.

I exaggerated the gains by posting the literal gains from early November (when it started to become apparent that there would be a conflict) until now?

I don't see anything about it on telegram. If true would be plastered wall to wall

Russia launched their special operation 2/22/22 Not 11/22/22.

Russia did attack 2 natural gas facilities the other night, but no reports of explosions. Ukraine says the facilities are still operating. Hey Colt, do you have any pics of the fireball?

Sure. I bet you also believed that the sorority girl you were hitting on at a bar in college did not like the guy she left the bar with instead of leaving with you.

The saturation of air defense systems along the front line would make it very difficult for them to operate.
