They've probably exhausted a lot of munitions since then and can't really afford to buy new ones. Their central bank said a few days ago that the economy's all good now, but I think its's partially due to the imperialistic stuff Putin did to reclaim a lot of assets, which looks like a bad econ signal long-term -- since these same people he "reclaimed from" ran operations that generated capital for Russia, and beyond that the workforce isn't nearly as strong as it was pre invasion. Add us being incentivized to find clean energy solutions, and you could wager that they are prolly on a pretty rough time limit to say the least.
Could be totally wrong tho, as iaaufr
war never changes

Untrue. We've traded people and trenches for drones and artillery and live in globalist werld now
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: stop reading these reports, news articles like they're indicative of any reality on the ground. I want you to imagine them as marketing brochures for Raytheon or Lockheed Martin.
Russia is the #2 exporter of weapons to the world, and is the leader in air and missile defense systems.

You havent left a basement in 20 years. How do you proclaim to know what is happening "on the ground"
very easily: "Ukraine Russia War" map.
Got new vape pods today doing much better
the US is incentivized to draw this war out and continue sending supplies so we can have an excuse to keep making them and keep our yoy war business revenue from nosediving. so i dont really mind reading anything coming from the horse's mouth
i'm fine with conceding that ukraine isn't and will lie to end things quickly. but russia most definitely isn't by track record alone, and i dont think viewing these maps actually changes anything or is better than reading articles (as i can just Read that Kherson was lost, Russia retreated, city recaptured etc)
No, it has little to do with the revenue. The contracts go decades into the future: maintenance, upgrades, training, etc. The US contracts are completely covered in stipulations that effectively require the US to embed itself in the buyer's government and give up a degree of their sovereignty; this is why the Russians are such big exporters: their products don't have these stipulations.
Arms are a way to embed yourself into the fabric of another nation, creating a dependent relationship on the exporter for the importer.
The missiles don't work - this one is obvious.
They're running out of missiles - Russia won't be able to service your contracts in the future, harming your national security.

This is all true but we're also a greedy nation that loves to create shareholder value wherever we can, especially given the recent dismal economic projections.
What do you do in an oncoming recession as the invisible hand? Convince people it's not happening soon for as long as possible while you try to make as much money for investing post recession.
What is the harmonic convergence or whqtever the fuck
