The reason why Russia is using old equipment is because most of their equipment is old equipment.
If Putin survives he has some tough questions to answer at home. Billions have been appropriated AND spent on new weapons system and aircraft....but they mainly exist for foreign military sales. The money for the new stuff in the Russian military inventory has been stolen. A theft of that magnitude has to come from the top.
Well there is a reason why Putin is rumored to one of the if not the richest in the world. All the people here b**ching about Ukraine and the US leaders corrupt have no idea what has been going on in Russia under Putin. US and other world leaders have gotten way richer off Russia than they have Ukraine.

Hey I am just here for the laughs, I never knew Call of Duty schooled so well.
But keep telling the ex vets with extensive service you know better and they are the dummies.
For the record I am not one of those, just stating my observation in this thread.
I am just like the rest of you, just gleaming info from the YouTuber with maps, minus the doctorate in COD of course.

What’s our total tally on this war that’s not ours? $800M more today. $14B the other day through Congress.
I get the point, but for a country that doesn’t have money for more direct initiatives we sure are spending a ton on other people’s.

On this we agree.

Russia’s rapid thrust into Voznesensk was meant to showcase its military prowess. Instead, the Ukrainian town dealt Russian forces one of the most humiliating defeats of the war. My report from the battlefield where Russian bodies are still being collected

U.S President Biden’s remarks on the ongoing Russian Invasion of Ukraine appear to have been Significantly Delayed, the Speech was initially planned to begin at 11:45am EST but it seems like due to all of the Large Developments this morning he is stuck talking to Allies/Advisors.

His Speech will reportedly begin at 1:00pm EST now, multiple things are rumored to be announced including the Deployment of Additional US Military Assets to Poland and the Transfer of Air Defense Systems like the S-300 and Star-streak to Ukraine which has already been Confirmed.

These are also reports that Poland and The United States have now come to an agreement on the transfer of MiG-29 Combat Aircraft to Ukraine as well which may be announced.
Oh snap! If true that gives Ukraine enough S-300 systems to start taking out the cruises missiles that Russia is launching from inside Russian airspace and enough fighters to start attacking the artillery that is shelling Ukrainian cities.

You know you are in the company of true hardened keyboard warriors when the few guys with actual knowledge and experience in war are in mass downvoted and ridiculed for not towing the propaganda line on a war.

This is mere pennies in the grand scheme of US inventory/military budget.

Yeah and people are missing the big ticket item, we are destroying economically and militarily a traditional enemy and oh by the way a superpower(former)
AND
Now the Russian will become a vassal state of the Chinese which will cost the Chinese billions and billions.
And not one dead American and at a fraction of the cost compared to doing this in a conventional war.

Agree 100%. But the Cold War Kid in me would LOVE to see some American firepower kick the crap outta the ruskies.
Sarcasm: From what I've seen to this point I think Iraq stood a better chance of inflicting casualties on us then the Russians do

Reports coming in that Russia bombed a civilian shelter in Mariupol. Possibly hundreds killed.

How exactly do you think a pilot get captured in this instance?
Would you believe the story of an unblemished pilot who reportedly had been shot out of the sky earlier that week?

Me too man. I saw a pic yesterday of Abrams tanks being unloaded in Poland in the forest green and black camo pattern.

Those drones have been on the news before. I feel like maybe maybe they were being used in Syria by some insurgents against us or something. Personally I think after winning the war we should fill them with packets of Skittles and instead of ordinance blowing stuff up they are like mobile pinatas bursting with Skittles... Taste the rainbow yo.
As far as capturing a pilot... Anything could happen. Dood could be a deserter. His plane could have been damaged enough he had to eject or land in a field. Could be a crackhead that we paid to say those things.

If that was a guided munition that could be a problem for the Russians.
