covertcabal and himarsed have done an updated count of afv in rus storage yards. (numbers at the 6min mark)
they changed their assessment criteria/categories due to the nature of the degraded condition of the remaining. decent/poor/worst

they are down to 3000 ish left with maybe <1000 in decent but probably nonfunctional condition but able to be repair/refurbished. the rest are tanks crammed nose to butt shoulder to shoulder and havent been moved in a decade and thus cant have been maintained. the worst are hulls missing turrets and other parts so they should be considered spare parts at best.

at current attrition rates they estimate rus will run out of tanks in 1.5 to 4 years depending on how many of the poor are just scrap.
And that's assuming they can actually get that 30% into a running state with any measure of haste, in all likelihood they'll be fielding a few of those a month for a few years if it drags on, but the lack of armor at the front is going to be punished by Ukraine.

Where's our resident russian lovers here to justify bombing a children's hospital? There cannot be peace as the russian terrorists continue to bomb civilian targets.

^^ Because we really don't want them hitting places like Warsaw.

At least not until the second week of November.
For us to hold back out of fear will only embolden them.
Russia believes it wants to see death.
It is our duty to give it to them fast enough that Russians lose their desire for more.

When they start a war, it becomes our duty to finish the war.
It is our crime against humanity - that we let Russia continue.

Joe can't do anything before November. If he loses, ... well, that just might get him to let stuff fly. If he wins, he won't have to worry about immediate repercussions either.

If Joe loses, wouldn't that be such a cool gift to hand off to Trump, having a very pissed off and humiliated Putin to deal with from the AFU sending hundreds of Made in the USA missiles, drones, bombs and rockets at every Russian military target they could reach.

They had no issue pretending nothing happened the last time Putin targeted hospitals, it will be the same this time. Maybe they'll spice it up and claim a false flag attack by Ukraine, or blame it on NATO. Give them time with their vodka.

Why aren't we determined to send missiles into Russia?
They need equal pain and terror dealt back to them.

Russian missiles hit children's hospital in Kyiv...
Dozens are killed as Russia bombards Ukraine. Among the buildings hit was a Kyiv children’s hospital
What do you expect from a terrorist nation; Ukraine attack military target; and Russia responds by attack hospitals and schools. This is why Russia deserve far harsher international response. They should be excommunicated from all international events.

This is war. We must blockade their harbors.
Force supplies through Asia, then destroy the rail lines. They cannot guard all of it.

We could end this Genocide if we actually cared.

Russians on social media are outraged there’s no Kremlin double-tap strike on volunteers.

Yeah, maybe January 18th or so, just before and one of his last official acts .... Hey Zelly, hey man this is Joe. Go for it. All strings cut, do as you please. Just remember, after this week, you may not get anything else, so make it count!!

You guys have been spouting this nonsense for two and a half years. Who is ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’? Get to the front lines already if you care so much. I’ll post the link again for the 20th time:


And NATO isn’t going to do shit. Two years into this and they still won’t even allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory. You know why?

They fear Russia. There is no other explanation.

No one fears Russia. They're a third rate (at best, dwindling daily) military run by the mafia, that lives in a gas station.

NATO would take a long weekend and set them back (even further) into the stone age.

So Russia hasn’t been fighting NATO this entire time? So why is it taking Russia so long to win?

Nah they are definitely striking into RU territory now. Regularly seeing guys on your side of the line get deleted by western tube and rocket artillery.

The only thing we haven't done is ok the use of ATACMS against more distant Russian air bases.

If Russia is so mighty and stronk like bull why haven't they been able to defeat a country with a fraction of their size and population? Why are they so mystified by western technology?

Yes, excellent point - @Young Grasshopper you have to be smarter with the lies or at least be smart enough to correct your boss when he gives you the new list of lies.

They really aren't sending their best here.
