As the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) say they hope their offensive reaches the city of Kherson by this winter, Russia continues preparation for a massive counterattack which could begin as early as next month. The results of that battle are likely to be bloody and destructive, but unlikely to settle the war one way or the other.

That must have been it.
38 million gallons of treated water wasted, it seems crazy.
Four man. No position on the T-62 is easy for a poorly trained person to fill. However, if that’s all you got, you put them as loader. (I have gunned on a tank short one man. We borrowed a mortarman, taught him the ammo and how to load the gun, and then qualified. He was one of the few mortarmen to wear a “Distinguished Tank Crew” patch on his field jacket.)
It seems they may not fair well on this winter battlefield against the tank destroying and tank fighting experience of the Ukes.
It is crazy. Birds poop in open reservoirs and who knows how many wild animals go for a dip or even die in them. So these buffoons waste millions of gallons over maybe a pint of pee.
I d like to see one to get close in to a tank to fire LAW in winter. The winter is good because there is no vegetation for the enemy to hide.
“...as I do”
Please provide links to the you interviews you claim to do - otherwise they are MEANINGLESS, as I can write fiction as easily as you can.
“Cold storage means...”
Most here know what “cold storage” means, so we don’t need a kindergarten-level lecture. What we do expect is some kind of PROOF, as in links, that Russian hardware in storage is not maintained.
After all, we have some Neocons here claiming the same about Russian nuclear weapons, saying they won’t work either, so we have nothing to fear in a nuclear war with Russia. They also haven’t provided links.
“Sorry, the article’s sadly out of touch with reality.”
Here is a detailed comment from the bottom of the article by someone who agrees with your assessment.
“The article vastly over-estimates Russia’s situation and capabilities.
Russia has demonstrated appalling lack of leadership, military organisation, logistics capability, attention to basic support and maintenance.
Russia has not conducted “fighting withdrawals, they took to abject flight, abandoning wounded, dead and materiel in abundance. Likewise Ukraine counteroffensives have not ” run out of steam”, they have been consolidating gains, mine clearing and reversing the appalling damage inflicted by Russian vicious and incompetent occupation.
There is little capacity in Russia to ramp up armament and ammunition production and flow. The steady regression to 1960s tanks and earlier equipment, lack of uniforms and equipment basics point to the parlous condition of the Russian situation. Russia is a third world country with a previous thin veneer of modernity. It is rapidly reverting to its third world reality.
If the intent of the article is to ‘big up’ Russia to prompt greater Western support, then this puff piece does it well. If it is supposed to be a sober assessment of the coming winter war, it is woeful.
I don’t expect this to get printed but it might be some feedback to publisher and author.”
Link please.
I was just trying to get some idea of what the liberators will be dealing with as they face the desperate invaders and their ancient tanks, as far as the LAW, even it may be useful, especially in urban settings, and when under attack and particularly the new version.
“Link please”

Thanks,
Yea, it’s hopeless in the US unless:
1. We clean up elections
2. We let Americans learn THE PRICE they’re expected to pay by the Left ($50 beef, $20 gas, living in high rises, etc.), BEFORE it’s too late.
...and what’s really sad is that once another Reagan comes around and fixes things, Americans will simply ‘become comfortable’ and allow the same forces to move in again. So we need #3.
3. The Democrat Party is outlawed (at least until they’re willing to show that they will also follow the Constitution).
Interesting link. I think desalination may work better for a desert area, rather than a somewhat, intermittently watered area like California. I wonder if they have considered gray water recycling for landscaping and some agricultural uses. This leaving less water needed for sanitation plant pure water.
