Some things are bound to start breaking or sputtering out as the war drags on and sanctions induce shortages, delays and expenses.
We discussed a few months ago, that the wheels would probably start coming off the Russian economy in June from sanctions. Month to month going forward, new effects will manifest. The clock is ticking on the Russian economy and industrial base.
It doesn’t seem that Russian forces are going to have the kind of precision deep strike superiority in the coming phases of the war, that they enjoyed in the earlier phases.
Javelins made it unsafe for the Russians to move around widely in the Ukraine. The new Artillery is now making it unsafe for them to stand still there.
