Russia being able to hold joint exercises with Belarus doesn’t really support the statements on here that Russia is running out of men and equipment.

I don't see support in his post for blowing up farm tractors, only refineries.

I completely approve of Ukraine hitting Russia's cash flow just like I fully approved of Ukraine's tractors towing abandoned Russian armor. Three years of normal wear and tear have added up to allow simple hits shut units down. Most process units have duplicate pumps and compressors if one needs repair. It's difficult to have a spare not already being used at this point. It's far more difficult to repair things on the fly if they are also being hit.
While not a refinery, Dow's methylcellulose unit at Plaquemine, LA often ran for several years beyond scheduled turnarounds and repaired on the fly due it was such a cash cow for Dow and outperforming similar units in Midland, MI and Germany. Methylcellulose is used as a flour replacement in "lite bread" and as a binder in pills, also as a thickener in shampoo and body lotions among other uses.

Ukraine needs a lot of F16's with contract pilots and maintenance crews. They have made good use of tanks and Bradley's, but no doubt they have lost a lot over the last three years of fighting.

I never thought about it until you brought it up.

That’s what I thought. Just more fabricated “facts” by you.

His comment about Dow Chemical does not refer to the Russia/Ukraine conflict either.
It referred to how entire plants can be repaired on the fly. The methylcellulose process is stainless steel. There are chlorides in the process and chlorides cause cracking in stainless. It's a very high maintenance process unit.

No one is starving in Ukraine. Food is the last thing they may ever lack they have surpluses still.

Sure, it does. If the Russians send junk equipment and untrained me to sit around while running through garbage maneuvers then it absolutely shows their shortcomings.
I'd pay big money to get eyes on that 'exercise'......

Not since Stalin's Holodomor. Which Ukrainians have never forgotten. It's probably the main reason that Putin miscalculated so badly, he believed his own bullshite and his sycophants were happy to confirm his ideas.
People don't forget that kind of abuse.
