War in Ukraine

The Return of Industrial Warfare

 

Is this the same place you got the 7:1 kill ratio for the Russians? And are we still arguing Russian causalities (KIA & WIA) are nearing 900k?

 

It is a article about how in a attrition warfare, the Russians are better set up to be able to fight that style because they are able to produce own equipment and are better suited to fight a long war. It argues that since the West is not producing military equipment at a war time production but Russia is. The thing is does understand is that the US 30 year old tech is still way better than the latest things Russia produces. And since the war has been going on so long, the Ukrainian economy is now reach war time level for producing certain military items.

 

Yeah, the war is going great for Russia!

I have no idea what the kill ratio is. I only know that Ukraine started the war with a pronounced numerical advantage and now it is hurting for manpower while Russian forces are seemingly increasing by the month.

 

War, as I understand it, is hell. Meanwhile, over here in Murica, we’ve been losing more troops from suicide than from combat.

 

In reality, we’ve given Russia three years to inoculate itself from some of our top-shelf weaponry.

 

You’re the mod, but I contest your contention that older articles are always irrelevant. You’ve missed the point, in this case, as the older articles establish that we should have known better than to have squared off against a highly-industrialized and well-resourced country in its own backyard. But we never learn.

 

If we had not participated in this war, we would never know how bad the Russian technology is.

 

Apparently, he was facing the prospects of a long prison term for a massive embezzlement scheme.

Here in the US we rarely fire, let alone imprison our top brass. Instead, we promote them to sales rep positions with weapons manufacturers.

 

On the field of battle their technology is grinding our great proxy to dust.

Can we do a health check on our 37th attempt to field a usable hypersonic missile ?

 

No, it is not. They are just using meat wave assaults. That is why the Russians have over 900k in causalities.

 

LOL the projection. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, a very common occurrence for nearly three years now

 

So the Russians are not using meat wave assaults and their causalities are not up around 900K? Just need to know what I am projecting.

 

Ah. So three and a half years into this thing -- with Russia completely stalled out on the ground, completely irrelevant at sea, and unable to impose superiority in the air -- you still have to address whether Russian victory is "inexorable" and all of us dumbass, weak, effeminate Westerners ought to cut bait on providing material support to Ukraine while we still can? Is that the sense of it?

 

Pretty much. They did not mention that Ukraine has taken out or pushed the majority of the Russian Black Sea Fleet to the far western ports in mainland Russia.
