      They just use more meat when adequate equipment lacks. See golfcarts, motorcycle attacks instead of using a bmp or some infantry fighting vehicle for example. No protection means higher losses. Also their tanks are older and older.

      The sanctions help with making new hi-tech, and upgrading old stuff, what they do is just refurbishing old tanks and btrs (and building a handfull of each each month) but they’re scraping the bottom of the soviet stockpile as we’re speaking.

      Maybe they will run out a month from now, we’ll see.

      I despise putin and his decades of corruption and violence and corruption but in case of ukraine he comes out as a saint compared to what israelis have done over last 1 year and with the support of so called pillars of democracy. its difficult to give a fuck about ukraine when our weapons and tax dollars are used to murder kids and burn civilians in hospital alive.
