Huge attacks over past weeks at Terny and they have been completely destroyed with around 80 armored vehicles lost and many meatwaves decimated.

I think russia is crippled, destroyed and incapable of waging war but just like all the tankies and cynical analysts, they buy into the copium that "we can recruit more, we still have tanks in storage, so so we are still at peak strength and ukraine will run out of shells any day now."

I predict we will see more older and rapidly slapped together garbage from "russias nato ending storage of 10+k mint condition modern tanks" over the voming summer offensives. Probably by the end of summer they have another 300k casualties and maybe a village to show for it and then they are out of mothballed vehicles. We might start to see more chinese and north korean vehicles showing up even.

With how russian economy is as lots of companies are bankrupting and their main export is badly suffering from premature consumption, life in russia might get miserable enough for them to pack up and leave once quality of life is destroyed in the only cities whose inhabitants matter to russia. Seems like holding the ground is a functional plan as attacking in Ukraines current position without having clear superiority in air or artillery seems too dangerous. I have sincere doubts Russia would pack up and leave once they are pushed beyond their border. What reason they have to admit defeat? I see no reason anyone in russia wants this war to end without some sort of victory. We are talking casualty rate nearing million plus functrionally millions more, mostly the least stupid and skilled people, gone from the country to avoid mobilization.

Finnish YLE reported 6 destroyed, 8 badly damaged planes with citations to AFP and Reuters. So basically 14 planes gone and replaced with a pile of bit banged spare parts.

it seems reports of damaged planes were overly optimistic - based on satellite imagery, No Major Damage Seen At Russian Air Base After Drone Attack

quote:

While there are real limits to the amount of information commercially available satellite images can provide, we see no major impacts on the installation. Another image taken later today shows aircraft taxiing and one landing on the runway. Regardless, we must underline that there still could be damage, including to aircraft. Shrapnel effects and other small damage, which can still be catastrophic to aircraft and equipment, simply do not show up in satellite imagery, although subsequent fires and destruction could. So, this does not mean no damage occurred or the attack was outright unsuccessful, but this is what we can see with the imagery available.
