“To pay their taxes, GAZPROM have been selling assets.”
Their HQ in St. Petersburg is the tallest building in Europe. Reportedly, they want to sell it as well, but nobody is buying into Russia, especially not at that scale.
In terms of taxes to the Treasury, Gazprom’s gross revenue on pipeline gas dropped from $105 Billion in 2021, to an estimated $28 Billion in 2024 (despite the Power of Siberia pipeline to China surging to its full capacity ahead of schedule). 2025 will be worse for them, with nowhere left to expand, and the Druzhba Pipeline having been shut off on January 1st.
Oil is the only thing that has kept Russia’s head above water this long, and they face bleak prospects on that front.
I don’t understand what your point is FtrPilot, there is no pointless juvenile meme on your post, please try harder😎
Before 2022 SVO, Russia was doing well, great revenue from petro exports, 2nd in weapons exports, lots of western investment…., but hey look at their GDP😂😎🍈
The drone's design allows it to remain stable while firing. The ZigZag is launched from a ground-based catapult and is equipped with a camera on a rotating gimbal, which improves its ability to capture targets.

“Lithuania, following Poland’s lead, has announced plans to fully mine its border with Belarus and Russia.”
That is a rather extreme indicator of the threat level that they assess from Russia (and from Russia through Belarus).

There does seem to be a significant increase in Russian aircraft losses lately, after a relatively long slow period.
“NMC due to K-ball”
What is K-ball?
““The price of oil poses a significant risk (to Russia),” one of the slides in the presentation says. It also mentions “significant growth in production in the United States and outside OPEC.” In addition, the presentation says that OPEC’s spare capacity is close to a record level and equals the entire volume of Russian crude oil exports.”
Oil revenue is a single point of failure for Russia. It is a/the center of gravity for Russia.

“the M-1978 “Koksan” is equipped with a 170mm gun capable of firing up to 60 km”
If I remember correctly that would enable this Nork weapon to strike South Korea’s capital, Soeul, while firing from inside North Korea. I think Soeul is only about 30 miles from the Nork border.
At the present rate, Putin should be able to celebrate one million Russian soldiers victims of his glorious “not war” by the end of this week. How will the Russian people choose to celebrate this milestone?
