Could be, it's my understanding that they have active directed energy weapons in the field now. These would be a great option for un-jammable targets.
This is a wonderful time to start ramping up pressure and rest put Russians on their heels, at least until they can fix their manpower issues. That attack dropoff is dramatic though.
Indeed. Morale seems to have dropped even further...
I wonder how close Russia is to collapse; they have no equipment left; they have to draft another 100,000 soldiers which will only last 3 months at current rate of lost; ...
The manpower isn't really the concern, ways to move humans, and ways to get lead downrange has been their problem. The kill count has started to go down a touch since the NK soldiers bounced, but AFVs, arty, and misc vehicles are way up. RU is struggling to get manpower to the front and the result is more hardware soaking fire instead of meat.
Russian refinery capacity is down by something like ~20% due to the Ukrainian long range drone campaign. This will continue. Oil and gas revenue accounts for around 30% of the Russian budget.
Promising indicators, but we have been there before.
"If they don't let us keep all the land we have stolen from them we won't stop."
Zelensky knows the game here. Trump is easy to butter up, like a cat and a laser pointer.
Trump is transactional, and after this last election there are no legal means by which he can stay in office. Prior to November putin had leverage, now it seems he does not.
It's been made clear to him that everyone else will end him if he does, but if he needs to go out the victim to his abused countrymen, that's a pretty good way to do it.
