They CLAIMED that they were. Turns out their army was mostly filled with untrained soldiers, unreliable weapons or vehicles from the SOVIET era... They do have some modern technology, just not in huge quantities/it's still the process of being built or maybe Russia doesn't wanna sacrifice the "good shit" Either way, it's because of this, Ukraine has exploited this vulnerability and are using drones to bomb Russian militarized airports Ukraine has some of the same weapons/vehicles as Russia, though Ukraine was apparently more efficient at training their soldiers on how to use their own tech thus was more successful in defeating various waves of Russian soldiers. Russia lost heavy amounts of soldiers and weaponry/vehicles in their ongoing efforts to invade Ukraine.

Caracalla 09/15/23 11:34:33 AM #21:	Thompson posted... Well, firing 50 000 shells every day for +500 days eventually depletes a million-round pre-war stockpile. This. They are buying mostly artillery shells and rockets. The US own stockpiles are also pretty low, considering they sent everything they had on hand to Ukraine. NATO countries can't make munitions fast enough to fight 21st century wars. Fixing that is going to be messy. Those explosions that knock out Russian tanks, the artillery rounds that flatten columns of conscripts invading Ukraine in one sense, much of that mayhem comes from rural Iowa. Workers at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in the southeast corner of the state fill the 155-millimeter shells fired by western howitzers donated to Ukraine. But they aren't making them fast enough to meet demand. "The Ukrainians have been burning through in one month what the United States produces in an entire year," says Mark Cancian, a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. No one was ready for the Ukraine war. <cite>Caracalla posted [p:976085383] in Why is Rus...

Pogo_Marimo 09/15/23 12:37:55 PM #30:	Stop saying "the media". There isn't a "the media". Some media members think Russia is a paper tiger hollowed out by corruption. Some think they are on the verge of breaking the Ukrainian army. You're obviously trying to prove something by making such a fake curious topic. Why, instead of shitposting, don't you do an analysis of specific claims made by the media and contrast those with the recent developments with N. Korea? Then you could prove whatever point you're trying to make. That's what a curious and smart person would do. It would even... be a decent topic of discussion!
