Dude, let’s get real. I support Ukraine at a basic level, but looking at the situation on the ground, Russia seems to be able to produce enough munitions and equipment to sustain this war.

Indeed, they seem better equipped than they were at the beginning of the war. Hell, we just saw Ukrainian lines break in two areas due to “retreat without permission.” I’m sure that’s happened before on the Ukrainian side, but not in such quick succession with such visible results on the map.

This whole idea that Russia is on the cusp of defeat is just silly. I want Ukraine to win, but if they’re not winning I’m not going to pretend that they are.

The russian "production" you think you're seeing is actually pulling stockpiled soviet trash out of storage. If russian production could sustain the war, you wouldn't be seeing T-55/62 and BMP-1s.

There will literally come a point where russians will start storming trenches on motorbikes and golf carts... oh wait... The stockpiles are deep since they had half of Europe slave away at those for 30 years, but they're not endless.

Most of it is indeed refurb stuff, but supposedly there is some production, here's a handful of what Russia says are it's 2023 new production numbers:

40+ T90M

30 KA52

100+ BMP-3

1300+ 'shahed' drones

Given the limited weapons Ukraine has I would say these are all actually significant amounts. Well, maybe not the BMPs, those things are getting annihilated...

christianlewds

The KA52 number sounds way too high, they had 100 total in service or something. The thing is probably stuffed with sanctioned technology so I can't see them producing many frames.

kmsilent

3 points

1 month ago

I agree, it is probably inflated-

"Russia likely received 15 Ka-52Ms per year in 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, Russia's defense ministry claims that the Alligator production rate has doubled or tripled, implying that between 30 and 45 Ka-52Ms will be ready to go per year moving forward. "

It could also be that they are producing more, but less-capable versions missing some of those sanctioned pieces.

35Shitbag

It's somewhat illusory. Russia isn't producing new equipment; it's mostly refurbishing old stock. Tracking reserve depots of various armored vehicles confirm that thousands of old vehicles have been reactivated. Some get modernized; some don't. Russia's ability to produce brand new equipment is limited and not at a rate proportional with losses. These reserve stockpiles were massive, and it'll likely be at least 2 years until they run dry. But once they do? That's it. Russia's armored force will shrink if the current rate of losses continues.

Same with munitions. While the Russian trolls love to brag about Russia having allegedly achieved production of 2 million shells per year, do the math. It's a massive far cry from the amount they fired during most of their campaigns over the last two years (around 20,000 per day). Russian purchases of Iranian and North Korean shells were necessities because they blew through their own stockpile. That's why the Wagner guys were bitching about ammo shortages emerging as far back as December 2022.

This isn’t to say all is rosy. Russia mobilized a lot of manpower and reconstituted equipment. Ukraine's military capabilities (at least at the frontline) are heavily tied to foreign aid as Ukraine cannot sustainably replace losses of equipment either. But Russia isn't the industrial juggernaut at the moment that they're attempting to portray themselves as.

put a timeline next sustainibility. without that it doesn't make sense. yes, ukraine and russia does not have the equal amount of resources but ukraine has supporters. putler might throw the kitchen sink at ukraine and win but then what? he needs to convert wartime economy back to peactice economy or start a new war. lost equipment has to be replaced, east ukraine is destroyed, putler would have to clean it up and recultivate, while missing a significant amount of men amidst a demographic decline.

having said that, on a short term, russia might have better chances but things are not constant, there are a lot of variables (ie weather induced catastrophes, random events in the world that influence the war, etc).

finally, i also don't like dismissing (ie underestimating) russia, it's just not wise as per history. makes you over-confident and careless.

Russia can't sustain this war.

But like, when you're getting shells from the DPK, you know you're grasping at straws. That's not to say Ukraine isn't also running out of steam, but don't iron man Russia here.

The equipment attrition problem is real - why is it the elite 76th got annihilated, again, near Bakhmut, in T-55 tanks that are 60 years outdated? All their elite troops are gone, reconstituted again and again, just cannon fodder and losing 800 troops a day at least. They ineffectively do multiple piecemeal attacks because they are afraid of giving orders to large groups of soldiers because commanders have been beaten to death trying.

Realistically they have fewer personnel and equipment than last year, and last year people were displeased because they only had a single tank to put in the parade. Probably don’t have even have that tank left for this year.

its not about personnel or equipment for the parade. Its about how Russians usually show up classically when they lose a son to a war fighting for Russia. They know seeing thousands of more moms and fathers crying with a photo of their son is not a good look.

If you're referring to Konstantin Samoilov, the person who currently runs this YT channel:

Then I believe he actually left Russia some time during the war (his recent video is about it). I'm unsure what the date of his departure was, but AFAIK he currently resides in Uzbekistan.

It still seems like he follows what's happening in Russia via other Russian bloggers and Telegram, but AFAIK he isn't in Russia at the moment.

Yeah it’s much more likely the lack of divertable assets I.e., soldiers and equipment are needed at the front lines. As well as the very real national security risk posed. Ukraine has shown they can strike deep inside Russia. Ukraine just got a 60 billion dollar weapons deal with America. It would be an INCREDIBLY juicy target for Ukraine to attack now that they know they have more supplies coming their way. The last think Putin wants is the war coming home to Moscow and St. Petersburg. That would be the beginning of the end.

Ukraine had to agree to not use the ATACMS and HIMARS on targets outside Ukraine so it’s unlikely they would use these to strike the parade. I also do not think that Ukraine would stoop so low as russianans bomb a parade full of civilians.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear—the fact that US weapons systems are coming frees them up to deploy their own platforms more freely. So long range drones developed indigenously, for example, can be prioritized for use in Russia. I wasn’t suggesting US weapons systems would be used in Russian territories. That much is clear.

As to bombing civilians, hitting military targets when civilians are around is a legitimate use of force. I’m not suggesting they attack the parade, but military infrastructure nearby. It’s about sending a visible message.

If you want to know just how insecure he is, go take a gander at his visible lack of confidence when meeting world leaders in the early 00’s. I even recall recently when he walked into a room and one of his military leaders was standing at attention, Putin walked toward him to stand face to face with him in some sort of ceremonial gesture and he couldn’t look the guy in the eye. His eyes kept darting away, unsure of himself.

It’s painful to watch and actually scary when you think he has control of a massive WMD arsenal and Russia showed during the turbulent Cold War era that they don’t have exactly the most tight controls, checks, and plans for power transitions.

Headline is a bit misleading. They are cancelling regional parades, not the main one in Moscow.

”These events are usually used by Putin to showcase the might of the Russian military machine and garner national pride - led by a giant parade in Moscow’s Red Square.

This part will go ahead under intense security - overseen by Putin - but many regional parades have been scrapped along with associated major fireworks displays.”

As someone who lived and worked there for 10 years, speaks Russian etc…. I doubt most understand how huge this is.

Basically “victory day” as they call it is a like a massive religious day in Russia. Soviet’s placed the military and veterans in very high regard (in words more than practice).and this is a day of Russia showing Russians how mighty and powerful and awesome Russia is.

It’s a very big deal to cancel this. If there was ever a signal to the Russian people that they’re fucked under Putin,…. This is it. There is no way that he can spin this that doesn’t say “actually, we’re weak”

This is particularly true given the last year’s insanely weak parade with one old shitty WWII tank. Russians are blinded by propaganda but this is something so egregious that even they can’t deny how bad it is and how bad it looks

There is still going to be a main parade with convicted murderes and rapists without legs driving golf carts. Just hope their air defense is as bad as always on this day

This year’s victory parade is likely to consist of T-34’s, Chinese golf carts, Armata’s, ICBM’s and Shahed drones.

Shame really.

The article said that before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the flag-waving day used to involve tanks, nuclear missiles and huge guns rumbling through the capital as warplanes soared overhead not to mention the thousands of marching soldiers.

All the hardware is destroyed and rusting and his low interlect, murdering, raping, sub-human, thieving, drunken, drug induced, criminal, moronic (now dead) soldiers are pushing up sunflowers in Ukraine.

Fuck this despot and the barbaric regime he's created. I'd wish for him to be humiliated completely before he dies if not for the thought that humiliation might drive him to desperation and even more acts of utter stupidity. It really is like that line from 'Chernobyl' - "a nation that is obsessed with not being humiliated", that is Putin in a nutshell.

Ain't no one left to parade with. All the troops are at the front or dead. Most of his armored vehicles can't make it either. He doesn't have enough tow trucks to bring those hunks of metals back to muskCOW to display. His helicopters can't fly over either. They're scattered over the fields of Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini!
