The opposite is true comrade,

Russia is out of manpower and out of weapons.

Losing Kherson is just the beginning.

Ukraine is making slow territorial gains. Losing thousands of men per meter towards Bakhmut is a pyric victory.

Russia is becoming a Chinese/Iranian welfare queen.

out of weapons,

Right, the West is out of weapons. Western innovation cannot possibly find ways to produce more or alternatives. Okay

The Pentagon is considering a Boeing proposal to supply Ukraine with cheap, small precision bombs fitted onto abundantly available rockets, allowing Kyiv to strike far behind Russian lines as the West struggles to meet demand for more arms.

U.S. and allied military inventories are shrinking, and Ukraine faces an increasing need for more sophisticated weapons as the war drags on. Boeing's proposed system, dubbed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), is one of about a half-dozen plans for getting new munitions into production for Ukraine and America's Eastern European allies, industry sources said.

Although the United States has rebuffed requests for the 185-mile (297km) range ATACMS missile, the GLSDB's 94-mile (150km) range would allow Ukraine to hit valuable military targets that have been out of reach and help it continue pressing its counterattacks by disrupting Russian rear areas.

GLSDB could be delivered as early as spring 2023, according to a document reviewed by Reuters and three people familiar with the plan. It combines the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the M26 rocket motor, both of which are common in U.S. inventories.

B.S,

Not out of manpower, not out of weapons, and will make do with shortages of fuel, electricity, food and water, because unlike the poor Russian conscripts it is an existential battle for the people of Ukraine.

And Russia still can’t beat them. How pathetic is that?
