Something like that... I am certain that they would never move any other tanks and armored vehicles in from other parts of Russia. If they did that... they would only have another 10,000 to 12,000 tanks and 36,000 to 40,000 armored vehicles left. Of course, they also have over 6,000 nuclear war heads most of them pointed at the good old USA if all else fails.
Wow, it is getting a little touch and go. We might have to hold the Ukrainian's back before they march victorious into Moscow.

The 10-12,000 tanks are all rusting, parted out, some engine-less hulks. Russia only has around 2,500 tanks in running condition. Plus they have not produced a new tank in 10 years, and cannot not because of chip shortages. Their armored vehicle situation is not much better, but running ones are far less than the number quoted.
Fixing any of the hulks is beyond expensive, plus most of the money would be stolen before one wrench turned.
Ukraine: military situation update with maps, April 29, 2022
War in Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP2QApi8G2TKc8NZmeDWSUg/videos
**UA continues to target military and energy infrastructure inside Russia (north of Kursk, Kursk, Belgorod, attempts on Voronezh) with rockets and UAVs.
**Russians claim falsely that the UA is shelling Russian villages west of Kursk. Therefore, Russia is shelling UA villages on the border. This is forming part of the Russian Casus Belli for a full war declaration later.
**Ukraine starting to feel pain fro Russian attacks on railroads: seaver shortages of fuel,
**Very little Changs in front lines.
Summary:
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead - successful Russian attack to capture back village of Zavody, also captured village of Velyka Kamyshevakha.
- Russian troops are slowly mopping up corner between Oskil and Siverskiy Donets rivers controlled by Ukrainian side before.
- Attack on Orikhiv, fighting in the town. Unclear outcome of the attack, potentially captured by Russian troops.
1. Kharkiv: no major changes to frontline since yesterday’s Ukrainian gains. It appears that the frontline is manned mostly by forced conscripts from DNR (occupied Donetsk region of Ukraine) - low fighting spirit and motivation, poorly equipped.
2. Izyum bridgehead: No major Russian progress today. It is extremely dangerous penetration by Russian troops that potentially could lead to large pocket for Ukrainian troops west of Donetsk.
3. Lyman bridgehead. Russian side claims progress in mopping up this bridgehead held by Ukrainian troops. Specifically, village of Yampil, Krymky, Oleksandrivka are claimed as captured. It’s totally possible scenario, however, we don’t have any other supporting evidence of this claim so far.
**Russian forces clearing UA bridgehead north of Donets River; will be cleared in next 4-5 days. Unverified from Russian sources.
Donbas Salient:
4. Popasna, Rubizhne and Severodonetsk. Russian troops captured majority of Rubizhne. Popasna is about 70-80% captured by Russian troops. Russian mercenaries - Wagner Group operates in Popasna, also Russian 57 brigade operates there as well.
5. West of Donetsk: Avidyivka and Maryinka. Avdiyivaka - never ending attempts of the Russian side to break-through there.
6. Vugledar is in Ukrainian hands.
7. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. Ukrainian strongholds are towns of Gulyaypole and village of Velyka Novosilka. Russian 19D is operating there. Russian troops are consolidating their gains. Also, 42D has been spotted in the area.
8. Russian attack on town of Orikhiv was repelled yesterday even though Russian troops managed to get into town.
9. Mariupol: opportunity to do a breakout attempt by the Ukrainian forces might have been lost as density of Russian troops increased due to smaller perimeter. Based on other sources, opportunity to break out is still viable.
**Russian forces around Mariupol pulled and are resting - 801NB suffered very heavy losses. 2nd rate troops from Occupied Donetsk replaced them.
10. Mykolayiv: No major gains by Russian troops there after capture of village Tavriyske yesterday.
Forces might have been lost as density of Russian troops increased due to smaller perimeter. Based on other sources, opportunity to break out is still viable.
11. Mykolayiv: Russian troops carried out small scale attack and captured village of Tavriyske.
**Russian troops strategic defense, protecting water source fro Crimea.
“Oh no!
The GRES-2 120-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Sakhalin, Russia went up in flames this morning.
That was an investment that cost Russian taxpayers around USD 560 million and which was crucial for the energy supply in Far Eastern Russia.”

Horrible ... what will they do for light and heat? Call the UN!
Maybe Chinese Spec Ops? Putin keeps this Ukraine war up and a two front war looms large.
” they also have over 6,000 nuclear war heads most of them pointed at the good old USA if all else fails.”
The USA has its nuclear arsenal available too. Little Pukin wont attack the USA with nuclear weapons because the retaliation will kill him and all RuZZians.
I’m not worried.
Tough. It’s war.
I thought the Ukrainians should have been “shelling” Belgrograd (a key Russian logistical hub) on the very first day of the war. The Ukraine has Russian missile systems capable of hitting it.

Another video of that fire. Pretty big.

That is because you are a genius. I am so glad that the risk of a nuclear exchange and the start of WWIII that will be decided by two leaders both of whom likely have compromised cognitive abilities does not worry you. After all saving a corrupt regime that was installed through subterfuge by Soros and Western intelligence agencies is definitely worth it even if the United States has no strategic interests in the region.
The time will come for those attacks. Including Crimea.
“you are a genius”
Thanks!
Yeah, that sounds very believable... Thank God, we have a Russian military expert to tell us how bad things really are going for the poor souls in their military. I guess they are going to have to rely on the nuclear war heads aimed at us to keep Moscow from being overrun.
I’m partial to Jennifer Aniston myself, but ...
“Actress and filmmaker Angelina Jolie was spotted at a cafe in western Ukrainian city of Lviv on April 30.
Jolie is a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. “

Too bad for your buddies that stealing is more important and is number one priority in their military. How bad it is for them is obvious to everyone, including the Russian commanding officers.
There is no secret that Russia is in bad shape militarily - If they still had the 10s of thousands of tanks, other vehicles and troops they had during the USSR days, Ukraine would have been over run in a few days.
The rest of your comment makes on sense.
More good news.
“EU to Propose Russian Oil Phaseout by Year-End”
“The European Union is set to propose a ban on Russian oil to come in effect by the end of the year, with restrictions introduced gradually until then, officials say. “
Just turn everything over to Low IQ Joe, he would get rid of everything in one swoop.
“The head of Russia’s space program said Moscow has decided to pull out of the International Space Station, state media reported, a move it’s blamed on sanctions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine.”
This is good news also. Need to end trade with Roscosmos because too many items are dual use. Roscosmos can buy for “space” but divert to military use.
