The report from NATO in Sept. And a report yesterday from AP analysts.

Putin's comment came has no suprise.

They have other kind of missiles that are not guided though and of shorter range. Those ones won't be precise when hitting targets with coordinates. They will however hit random locations as they are cheap missiles.

Russia could have been able to produce more missiles, but the sanctions may be crippling that effort. NATO gave a statement of the inability of Russia to produce some sort of weapons back in Sept, but the Kremlin denied.

This is the reason. Russia is running out of precision missiles because they are very expensive to manufacture. They have just about 600 of those left except they are able to get from China or Iran. With no access to chipboards and ICs, their military industry complex is really suffering. Infact, Belarus is now being used as a mechanic yard for Russian tank repairs now.

Lol. I am not sure you know what you are talking about. I suggest you read those western MSM stories beyond the fake headlines they give you. Read them well so you understand what is going on.

I don't need to see MSM headlines to know the stats of used weaponry from the Russian side. If Russia is already firing missiles produced in 2019, what does that tell you?

Putin is not a fool,he will rather nuke ukraine than totally diminish his military,why do you think russia is using the Soviet era weopons and conscripts in ukraine? It's because he is reserving the main military and weopons for nato incase they decide to step in

There is nothing like main military weapons. Russia has expended a lot of weaponry in this war at a rate that it cannot be quickly replenished as quickly as they come.

Interesting, it takes about a month to produce 3 cruise missiles and Russia used close to 40 of them this week alone. grin grin grin

Foreign Affairs / Re: Gov. by TonySpike: 8:16am On Oct 14, 2022
Interesting projection. My estimate is that Crimea will be overrun by December by UAF. Once Crimea is taken, Putin will run mad and may be forced to use his nukes.

This oligarchy thing that is being bandied as a Russian thing is so wrong.

The Russian business men and billionaires have barely little to no say in the control of govt. If anything, those guys are in the firm grip of FSB and FSB controls them mostly.

The country where oligarchy exists is the USA , because it is the business men and billionaires there that control the govt and decide on what policies they should pass. They disguise it as lobbying grin

In summary, Contrary to what the western media tells you, the west is being control by powerful oligarchs, but Russia is not.

The USA system is rather monopolistic and not Oligarchy as we know it. In the US, creativity can make you a monopolist, coveting an area of service or industry. We say Oligarchy because those Russian rich men were created by the government for the government through proxies and friends. That's why the FSB can take them out if they fall out of line with the government agenda. In China, they seem to combine both monopoly and Oligarchy together. You must be friends with the government to avoid corruption allegations. Take Jack Ma, for example, his wings were clipped for talking against Xi Jin Ping's government with a serious crackdown on his business.

apart from nuclear bomb I don't see anything else Russia will use against USA. Their army strength has greatly deminished. china though not too par with USA will be a difficult nut to crack. They have also for decade been modernizing their military
The plan has always been to diminish Russia's military capability and the Ukrainian debacle is the closest shot USA got in so many years. By the time this war is over, Russia military sphere would have been seriously curtailed. I doubt they will ever be the same again. This same tactics was used to dismantle USSR and I am so surprised Putin fell for it.

This is what people that live in Russia or have lived in Russia are saying in Quora. It will be nice to read the perspective of non-russians or those that have never lived in Russia.

It is mostly true. Most of the private companies were nationalized in the past and sold to Putin's friend who became the oligarchs as we know it. Gazprom is one of such assets. When the government is dissatisfied, they take out some of these oligarchs. About 5 Gazprom execs have died mysteriously this year alone. grin

Russia says it will help residents evacuate a Ukrainian region it has “annexed” in a new sign Kyiv’s counteroffensive is advancing and Moscow is losing its grip on occupied territory.

“The government took the decision to organise assistance for the departure of residents of the [Kherson] region,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said on Thursday.

The Russian-installed governor of Ukraine’s southern Kherson region earlier told residents to take their children and FLEE.

This is a trick to move the residents into Russia. Another form of deportation...

I read that minimum wage in Russia is around $200 a month despite being an oil rich nation. That's low.

Putin's Oligarchs are 'fully' in charge of the economy. So much corruption and hooligans in the Russian government. The poor remain poor as usual, just like here in Africa.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister takes responsibility for terrorist attacks in Crimea and Belgorod.
He confirmed the involvement of the Ukrainian special services in the terrorist attacks on the
territory of Russia.

That's not a terrorist attack, it is rather a tit-for-tat. Orcs have blown up many bridges in Ukraine. This headline happened as far back as May and why are they crying over Crimean Bridge? Is it that they can't take what they dish out?

Interesting news...if the truck allegedly came from Russia, then Russians must be involved. On the other hand, I hope those arrested are not scapegoats?

Foreign Affairs / Re: Gov. by TonySpike: 5:41am On Oct 13, 2022
Putin made a mistake in February by attacking and invading Ukraine. He was misled in the first place, but rather than withdraw, he has decided to damn the consequences and forge ahead. The trip to the global future is hazy but by January 2023, a clearer picture will emerge. At this rate, no negotiation will work well for both the Ukrainian and Russian side. Both have committed resources to this war and agreements will be difficult to reach. For Russia however, it is more of a pride and ego thing. The Chinese are taking notes and may perhaps dominate Russia in the future.

I saw a video on telegram of wild pigs (boars) feeding on the carcasses of dead Russian soldiers abandoned abandoned by their colleagues when fleeing Lyman. Those guys must have seen the videos too.

The Russians leave their dead and report them as MIA. Any family of a soldier reported as MIA will not get any compensations. This is why a lot of guys japa from Russia last month to avoid mobilization. The Russian defence ministry has been lying about the actual figure of deaths to avoid paying compensations. ...Brutalsky!
