    I used to park my car in a fairly big subterranean parking with like 6 levels and thousands of spaces, it was often more or less full so my car could be really anywhere. To not have to walk around it all to find my car I took a picture of where I parked for finding it easily (numbers & floors were on the ground.

    Got myself a wholesome collage of my car in different parking spaces, sprinkled with flowers from google photo.









  • Well before they could replace 15 tanks a day and even more, now it’s 1 new + potentially a couple refurbished ones. The refurbished are in a totally disastrous state according to analysts like Perun (if I’m not mistaking, the guy counting tanks in storage). Other sources claim that they have no barrels left to repair the old tanks with, so they convert them to BTRs.

    That’s “running out” of the enormous old soviet stockpiles if you want.

    Soon BTRs are going to run out too, it’s already on a downward trend. With the lack they use civilian cars and trucks instead which we can see on the battlefield.






  • It’s the complete reverse, putin can’t continue selling his war if there are not at least marginal gains. Dictatorships are brittle. Russias economy is also flat out a 100% war economy already, there is nothing left to pour into the war any more. Add the soviet stockpiles going dry as we speak.

    And if the USA steps away, which would be bad, remember Ukraine produces 40% of it’s war effort itself, the slightly larger part of the rest comes from Europe. And the EU is manning up so it will only get worse for the russians in the long run.

    Ukraine will prevail, there is absolutely no doubt about it. The variable is how long time it will take to stop the war and in what way, and get the occupied regions back (yes, including Crimea).
