Probably a lot of counterfeit parts are being used.
US Intelligence just happened to leak this? Why, of course, I believe every word written. 🤣
Right close to Bidens disapproval rate.
Never mind, the accuracy of the hypersonic missiles they used to destroy the NATO training base near Lviv.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that win or lose, the Russian military is learning a LOT of practical lessons from this debacle. Lessons which should improve its performance in the next conflict.
But the guidance is good?
“three U.S. officials with knowledge of the intelligence told Reuters”
Ok, so we don’t even know who’s saying this. May be true, may be false. No new information.
If it’s a ground war in a neighboring area, maybe. And who’s gonna invade Russia? Seems like the lesson learned is “Stay home.”
I wonder if their nuclear arsenal has been meticulously maintained?
Could be, Russian soldiers, not having their heart in the war aren’t bothering to arm them.
[The bad news is that win or lose, the Russian military is learning a LOT of practical lessons from this debacle. Lessons which should improve its performance in the next conflict.]
And so is the Chinese military.
They look like something Wylie Coygotee should be taking out of a box marked, ACME.
There are bombs and there are warnings.
Experience is always the best teacher in all things.
“I wonder if their nuclear arsenal has been meticulously maintained?”
Their ICBM’s are the R-36 which entered service in 1988. They were working on the RS-28 Satan II and it lives up to its name. Massive warheads. Massive overkill. It’s a genocide weapon. It was supposed to be operational in 2019, development slipped, they’re supposed to have their first test flight this year and if successful re-equip 22 Strategic Rocket Regiments with it. Given the embargo on various items, they’re gonna have a hard time building those ICBM’s. Meanwhile, I’d say that ICBM’s sitting in Russia since 1988 haven’t been terribly well maintained, I’d guess.
Or parts from China?
Counterfeit parts, and/or parts from China. Perhaps one and the same, aided and abetted by Russian organized crime bosses.
