.... Russia’s continued strike campaign in 2023 has made one thing quite clear: it is unrealistic to expect Russia to ever “run out” of missiles. Despite sanctions and export controls, it appears likely that Russia will be able to produce or otherwise acquire the long-range strike capacity necessary to inflict significant damage upon Ukraine’s people, economy, and military. Ukraine’s air defenses have performed remarkably well under challenging circumstances. Nevertheless, the Russian military has continued trying to identify gaps and seams to exploit to gain an advantage.
There is no one-off fix for this problem. Sanctions and export controls can, at most, limit the quantity and quality of strike assets Russia can acquire. The most reliable counter is sustained Western support for Ukrainian air defense forces for the duration of the conflict. The continued, steady provision of air defenses into the foreseeable future will save lives, reduce costs of future reconstruction, and help end the war more quickly by enabling Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the face of superior Russian airpower. Moreover, providing air defenses has also forced Western countries to scale up production of these systems, which could have long-term benefits for Western defense readiness.....

They are not going to run out, but the idiot Russians who have no clue how to run a military campaign cannot sustain their current rate of useage, the consequence of which is that the incompetent idiots will/will not run out of missiles. Please help us out here.
It's really tempting. It's like the US had no clue what it's response would be if the Russians whiped out a SAC base. None whatsoever [oh wait our plans called for us to launch Armageddon]. Well, whatever. It's a fat juicy target just sitting their waiting to be taken out. Indeed I don't know why Z hasn't taken it out already.
Ukraine is not being sacrificed they are being attacked and they are tough.
I don’t know how some of you get into these mental gymnastics where you decide that we are killing all the Ukrainians because Russia attacked that country.
This is a left-wing manner of thinking.
They are as capable as any to republish Russian propaganda. Who cares where they stand? They are only repeating garbage.
Keep lying to yourself PIF.
And? America has four times the population than the Soviet Union did back then and we lost too, horribly. Please explain how that happened?
And yet you expect better results with Biden and the Democrats in charge of the Ukraine war? Neocons are stupid losers.
Because those russian missiles aren't used to destroy Ukrainian military targets, but to terrorize the civilian population, like Hitlers V2 rockets.
Here are the faces of the young Ukrainians who were killed by Russia in the missile strike on the pizza restaurant “RIA” in Kramatorsk.
"RUSSIA WILL TOO RUN OUT OF MISSILES YOU PUTIN BUTT LICKERS!!!!!"
Ukraine is going to run out of cannon fodder.
Yeah…. Attack their nuclear bomber base. What could possibly go wrong.
The U.S. spent twice as long in Afghanistan than the Soviet Union did, and the Taliban is in control today.
Ukraine is being attacked and they are extremely tough, otherwise the war would be over by now, they also don’t have the military capability to win the war, continued fighting will do nothing but sacrifice thousands of Ukrainians for a war they cannot win.
Ukraine is roughly similar to Japan in WW II, they clearly were being attacked and closed in on, they continued to fight in a war they could not win, until we nuked them, which was the right move at the time.
In Ukraine, one side has a complete military with 10s of thousands more men against the other side that has next to nothing.
The advanced weapons systems and air assets Ukraine would need to have a chance to win the war are not there and will not be there for months if not years, in the meantime Ukrainians by the thousands are being killed.
Communism really ****ed up the former Soviet countries. Destroyed their demographics and they haven't really recovered from it yet.
A quick look at the record:
Since WW2, the US is batting 0.00
Mainly because it’s about forever war. Peace don’t pay the bills.
Ike warned us about this. Ironic because he was a General who helped to win WWII.
Lol vlad publicly stated, like 3 day “SMO” and ukes have lost 400 aircraft and 4000 tanks
He may actually believe what he says as he is being told this D-30s and T-55s say otherwise
But hey just my 2 cents
That they have plenty
Link please
Actually not really took a coup to end the war even after the bombs
German war production increase up to late 44 with the interdiction of logistics lines(sound familiar) putting the big hurt on
Bombing of Industrial capacity was also a big factor, but really only late in the war
Something Russia has no ability to stop, but Ukraine is putting a hurt on both industrial capacity and logistics
