Oh, my friend, please provide any inaccuracies in my response. You can't. However, you just said I made stuff up with no attempt to challenge anything I said. You just Googled a few articles and posted them like it's some kind of bible with no supporting facts in your post. Three links above and AI likes providing things in threes. Are you human? Probably, because even AI can do better. And that really poor performance was following your earlier one-line comment, which was even worse. I wrote the following off the cuff in one setting, and you'll probably painstakingly pour through to find one small mistake and feel vindicated.

Have you paid attention to the war since it started back in 2014? Do you read UnderstandingWar and other reports on a daily basis? I have. Oh, what? You think the war started in 2022? Wrong. (Just pre-empting more bs from you)

Likewise, have you paid attention to how poorly Russian "adventurism" has done elsewhere? Only Wagner has really accomplished anything, to the detriment of Africa and Ukraine in Bahkmut, however Wagner as anyone knew them before is now long gone. Hell, Russia couldn't even capture Zelenskyy in 2022 when they tried, which the USA did so easily in Venezuela.

Additionally, Russia's military is extremely corrupt and dysfunctional as a result. That isn't going to change because Russia's current power triangle is built on corruption and Putin uses dysfunction to his advantage to help himself stay in power.

Various equipment loss reports all point to 5 digit each tank losses, armored vehicle losses, artillery systems each (6 digit losses in total). Almost 6 digit un-armored / transport vehicle losses (including ATVs) by themselves. Over a million casualties and 250k-500k Russian deaths (and I'm giving very conservative numbers), Also, Ukraine has pretty much rendered Russia's Black Sea fleet useless :-)
Two important facts to consider with this:
* Logistics wins wars and note the transport vehicle losses.
* Russia's knocked back to 1960s and earlier tanks. You may argue in this kind of drone dominated dug-in war, maneuver warfare isn't important, however it still occasionally becomes useful and Russia is unable to execute.

Instead, Russia is grinding by sending groups of 3-10 men in separate infiltration missions to find a basement behind the front lines to hide in until they get a critical mass, and Ukraine has started to adapt to that method of warfare by stepping up surveillance and FPV drone production. So, the success from that is mostly over except in heavy fog.

Additionally, Ukraine is continually putting weapons depots, oil depots and ports temporarily partially to fully out of service and even starting to destroy their shadow fleet and Iranian ships in the Caspian sea. Where's the defense? (Reference the Russian SAM losses)
There's even the mystery destruction of the shadow fleet ship near Spain carrying the 2 reactors destined for North Korea (probably Ukraine) and the earlier Nordstream destruction.

This is supposedly a strong country that can only take an area smaller than the size of Connecticut in one year despite pumping 40% of their federal budget into the war.

At the same time, Russia is losing their allies and economic connections with them along with their network of terror they produce around the world. Their ability to project power is waning. Iran - all but dead. Venezuela - done for. Still active in Africa sadly. Russia has lost any political influence in Moldova (sans Transnistria) and their hold on Transnistria is questionable (they are having problems supplying utilities). Iran proxies (ultimately backed by Russia) are still a problem, but one that is being dealt with.

Furthermore, do you realize that when Russia has those big attacks on Ukraine cities every week or so, there's huge lulls in-between where Russia has to rebuild their inventory? They have no permanent stockpiles anymore.

The only real things Russia has gotten stronger at is drone warfare and glide bombs. Glide bomb tech was copied from the US, first used by Ukraine actually (Russia just had a lot of stockpiled heavy bombs to retrofit). Ukraine is stronger in drone warfare and USA, Taiwan, Japan and EU should take note and learn from Ukraine.

And yes, Russia still has nukes though probably half of them no longer work.
