🇷🇺 REDSKI PILLSKI 💊
Do you think Russia is not losing money, weapons and men? Do you think is cost free?
Just before I came here I was reading reports that Russia just lost 2 ships in 2 days
A minesweeper called Kovrovets And small missile ship called Cyclone which was in launched with great fanfare last year.
Cyclone just happened and not confirmed yett
Take the red pill…
Good name, maybe try it.
Please elaborate.
Also do you think this war was cost free for Russia?
Putin has just shaken up his own military.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was demoted.
Nikolai Patrushev was removed as Security Council Secretary. Shoigu put in his place.
Lieutenant-General Yuri Kuznetsov was arrested. Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov
The new Russian Defense Minister has never served in the military.
And then there's Yevgeny Prigozhin.
He was a key element of Russia's defense system He was asssinated after he rebelled against others in the Russian Military, particularly Shoigu. Patrushev allegedly approved the assasination.
Me Personally? I don't think this would be happening if everything was hunky-dory.
Good comment. Russia has its own deep state, and the war against these criminals is also happening over there too
Think back to ww2 Russia lost more in a bad day, than they have in this war. Probably more like a few bad hours of ww2.
They're not losing anything important. All they're losing is old Soviet tanks, ships, and hardware as well as some criminal recruits. There's a reason Russia isn't using their stock piles of newer vehicles, like the T-14 Armada or Su-57. The MSM is saying it is because they're afraid, but we know the real reason. If they brought these out in large numbers, the war would be over in hours. President Putin is trading garbage for strategic advantage.
Well, the t14 doesn't really bring any significant advantages to this conflict, as it's basically had a relatively stable frontline for 2 years, there's not really a requirement for mobile artillery and Ukraine isn't throwing any tactically trained or well equipped armor units at the front line, so the requirement for many copies of Russia's most expensive to produce tank like the t14 aren't needed.
