We can speculate if Russia has the supply of any Tochka-U and if they are using it, but it would be speculation. We know for a fact Ukraine's military actively uses them, while there only have been rumored use of leftover stock of TU's by Russia.
Here are six Russian Tochka launch vehicles with a V on them from just a few days ago.

Shakhtarsk has been under Russian control for the last 8 years.

Not addressed to me, but I was surprised. Then again, you can't fake the levels of loss Russia has suffered.
I think we can all acknowledge that they've suffered some serious losses now, right?
This war is a strategic loss. Russia is cut off from Western capital. They are not self-sufficient in terms of production, they do not produce computer chips, they have a tiny tech sector and they are lagging in science. Thousands (potentially hundreds of thousands) of young professionals fled to Finland.
So Russia, a country with an aging population facing a demographic crisis is now cut off from the rest of the world economically. They just lost a huge portion of their young, educated work force. They're selling oil to India and China at a discount. They must utilize ancillary financial markets to access capital, which means they're essentially subservient to India and China as a large, awkward client state.
Sweden and Finland are applying to join NATO and they'll get in. The west, even Germany, is ramping up defense spending.
A month and a half later, this looks like an absolute disaster for Russia. Just my $.02

I imagine they're going to try to get the Russian public out for blood.

You realize China and India have the worlds 2 largest populations right?
Russia can go a long ways with just those two as financial allies.

They used them during an exercise not 10 days before the invasion according to this Belarusian politician.

So you believe what Russia is saying now?

They changed their story, I didn't. It's pretty hard to deny that Russia has suffered significant casualties at this point.

Here's the thing: China and India aren't cutting off the west to support Russia.
So, yeah, Russia can continue on, at a decreased capacity, with less and less trade, while the 'world' they're trying to compete with continues on with business as usual.

They aren’t cutting off Russia either.

Check Ukrainian POS's military dressed in US-donated gear bullying a very old babushka and over her welcoming what she thinks are Russian troops with old Soviet flag and says she supports Putin.
The offer her food, then stomp on her flag. Heartbreaking to see her reaction when she realizes they're Ukrainians. She rejects their food with pride.
I think this hints at the problem Ukraine has- there's ideology difference in different regions and their country won't stay peaceful or united.

You’ve been here all day. You must be getting paid by the hour.
But you finally proved Russia had good cause to invade Russia, kill thousands and put millions on the streets. The Ukrainians were hated by an old lady.

Russia is unhappy BT2 drones are sold by Turkey to Ukraine.Russia dropped the ball by not using drones as much themselves. Drones are critical.

Absolutely, but he was smart not to arm Ukraine. For all the shite Barry caused, arming Ukraine will turn out to be the biggest reason fro this war, and Urkaine will not come out on top. Only Putin ends this war.

So have you LOL. I can walk and chew gum at the same time, son. Your insults are inline with 10 globalist retards in that individual Russia/Ukraine OT thread. I realized there's only like 10 of your in total who think this escalation with Russia is all nice and dandy.
