The government has an RFP out for contractors to make additional barrels. Also considering the massive lopsidedness in how the US vs Russia utilizes tube artillery 200 year out of the US facility vs 200 a year out of the Russian facilities have very different implications.

Also the USA can buy or make the tooling to make more tools, or buy the tools outright. Russia can't unless the PRC obliges.

Russians complaining that the Ukrainian FPV drone advantage is 10:1 and that it is quite unpleasant. Laments the lack of anything like their Baba Yaga.

Man have you ever heard such whining from the Country that went to war for arbitrary reasons. I mean they whine about everything....whine whine whine. They could of course stop all this bullshit but simply with drawing to their international recognized borders.

This whole thing is a debacle of historic proportions, even in the full context of Russian history which is saying something.

Would be amusing to know how long a t-62 can actually last on the battlefield ;)
Been thinking about this today... is there any great difference to the survival rate of a T-62 and a T-90 in the hostile environment known as Ukraine? Modern day anti-tank weapons don't seem to care much whether its an older model Russian tank or a newer one... they all go smoky or bang after a while.

Not really no. There's probably a few iterations of the 90 that came along with some actual defensive capabilities, but every indication is that javelins gives zero shits.

Gotta say those javelins and drones are cost effective. Modern warfare will soon consist of geeks in front of monitors as we have drone wars and actual lives are not lost ;)

Getting closer to 'A Taste of Armageddon'.
During a supposed attack by Vendikar, Anan 7 explains that the war is conducted as a computer simulation, and that the Enterprise has been "destroyed" in the attack. The two planets have a treaty, according to which they must kill the "victims" of every simulated attack.
