BLUF: Russia’s military is a joke

If you disregard the hyperbole, Daily Mail reporting can be surprisingly spot on.

There is a lot of military fiction books about WW3 some of them even use a Russian invasion of Ukraine as the trigger. However, none of them predicted Russian forces being inept AF. Russia’s military is good at slaughtering women and children and civilians. As well as looking good on parade in Red Square, but as far as fighting goes they just aren’t very good.

Russia has always had structural and cultural problems that make fielding a first tier military problematic. They've recently taken a big step backward though. They were doing things in 2014 that they don't seem capable of anymore.
They have drones, they've scarcely used them. They have sniper detection systems, but high value personnel are still getting sniped. They have at least some night vision capability and they're not using it. In 2014 they were intercepting cell phone signals and calling in artillery strikes on them. Now Ukraine is the one doing it to them. Losing that electronic warfare suite was a real eye opener. That's keys to the kingdom stuff and somebody just walked off and left it.

Is Russia trying to save face by declaring that the territory they occupy is all they ever wanted
I think this is obvious, they can't quit now, they're bought in. Putin has to bring home a skin to hang on the wall, even if it's not the one they wanted.

BTW that was a $12000 IWC Portofino he was using to check the time. Putin wears an IWC Mark XVII, more modestly priced at $5000. It seems to be a favorite brand of dictators.

Mostly shaft mining. I put my hands on the refinery which was built there, but in piece in Houston. I almost bought it to sell to Libya in 2011. Unocal has subsidies to develop processes but it was never viable commercially at under $84 per barrel.
Atlas Shrugs Galt's Gulch oil extraction was this very thing. We have known about it since well before WWII.

Of course he’s not “cool” with it but he’s not gonna start a war with NATO over some anti tank rockets.
Especially after seeing how effective NATO equipment is against his own equipment.
NATO purposely revealed exactly what they were supplying the Ukrainians with, and they did so for a very good reason: Putin, Russia, China, and the rest of the world just got a primer in who has the best military technology.
Trust me, we no longer have to worry about China, Russia, or any other wannabe trying to be big dog and intimidate the world.
They have learned they are no where close to that.
Especially China, who is hilariously behind Russia in this field.

As expected, with so much Russian military tied down in Ukraine, things are heating up elsewhere LINK

YEREVAN -- Armenia expects Russian peacekeepers to provide “clear answers” over the latest escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh, where at least three ethnic Armenian soldiers were killed and several more wounded in clashes with Azerbaijani troops.
The ethnic Armenian soldiers were killed on March 25, authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh said, accusing Baku of violating a Russian-brokered cease-fire. Nagorno-Karabakh's military initially said two soldiers were killed and later raised the number of dead to three and 14 wounded.
Eduard Aghajanian, a member of the ruling Civil Contract faction in the Armenian parliament and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said “advancing Azerbaijani armed forces appeared behind the Russian peacekeepers’ backs.”
Aghajanian said areas in the east of Nagorno-Karabakh that Azerbaijani forces took control of as a result of their advance on March 24-25 were in the zone of Russian peacekeepers’ responsibility under the terms of the November 2020 cease-fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan brokered by Moscow.
“Therefore, we expect clear answers from our Russian partners about the conditions in which this happened,” Aghajanian said at a news conference, adding that Yerevan also expects Azerbaijani forces to return to the positions from where they launched their advance and that the problem should be resolved “within the shortest possible time.”

Armenia Calls On UN To 'Restore Neutrality' In Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
He noted the use of attack drones, including Bayraktar TB-2s, in the skirmishes with Nagorno-Karabakh’s ethnic Armenian forces.
“We are talking about a very specific escalation,” he said, adding that Armenia’s questions are “first of all addressed to our Russian partners who, as we assume, should have excluded it in the area of their responsibility.”
Nagorno-Karabakh’s military said that the situation in the east of the region remained “extremely tense” on March 25.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry accused Armenia of attempting “to mislead the international community” by what it described as disinformation about the situation.
It said in a statement on March 25 that the only way of ensuring peace and stability in the region was a full implementation of signed joint statements, “including a full withdrawal from the region of the remaining illegal Armenian armed groups and normalization of relations on the basis of international legal principles.”
Ethnic Armenian authorities in Stepanakert said Russian peacekeepers had so far been unsuccessful in trying to achieve the withdrawal of Azerbaijani forces from the area of their responsibility.
They added that they still hope that “decisive efforts by the Russian side” will make it possible to achieve the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani troops and Armenian civilians will be able to return to their homes.
Yerevan has accused Azerbaijan of deliberately leaving Karabakh's ethnic-Armenian population without natural gas supplies and on March 24 warned of a "humanitarian catastrophe" after gas supplies to the region were cut off following repair work.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry rejected the claim as "baseless," saying that severe weather conditions have caused the interruption of supplies.
Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a six-week war in 2020 over the long-contested enclave that claimed more than 6,500 lives.
The fighting ended with a Russian-brokered cease-fire under which Armenians ceded territories they had controlled for decades to Azerbaijan and Russia deployed a peacekeeping contingent to the enclave.

A large Turkish convoy moved into Idlib last week. There were reports of the SAA shelling the jihadis in Idlib as well.

Between the Russian manpower losses in Ukraine and Turkey's position as an arbiter of those losses, the situation in Syria could be profoundly changed. The Emir of Qatar still has that checkbook.

BBC News - Russian general Yakov Rezantsev killed in Ukraine
quote:
Another Russian general, Lt Gen Yakov Rezantsev, has been killed in a strike near the southern city of Kherson, Ukraine's defence ministry says. Rezantsev was the commander of Russia's 49th combined army. A Western official says he's the seventh general to die in Ukraine, and the second lieutenant general - the highest rank officer reported to have been killed. It's thought low morale among Russian troops has forced senior officers closer to the front line. Ukrainian media reports the general was killed at the Chornobaivka airbase, which Russia is using as a command post and has been attacked by Ukraine's military several times.
