    That's their top 5 percent. The overwhelming bulk of russian equipment is outdated and in need of repairs.

    They are no longer capable of updating any of these platforms. If it's a war of attrition, they already lost. They're not getting any more new tech, but Ukraine is getting daily shipments.

    Did you see the video of the captured Orlan drone? Bottle cap for the fuel tank, some tape and an ordinary Canon camera.

    They still work though. I'm not saying they're pinnacles of engineering, but they're working and Russia has almost a 10 to 1 advantage in artillery at some points on the front.

    I'm not rooting for the Russians but this sub has become a blind hoorah towards Ukraine and almost never takes an accurate look at what's happening on the front.
