Eventually maybe but not in this generation. And don't forget Turkey

Yes, characteristics that may tend to be career dehancers (new word) in peacetime. Just as is often the case with warriors - the BS of regular peacetime armies is not a good fit. Tbe trick is to find them a way to be available when needed and out of sight out of mind otherwise. The IRR would be...

But that math is based on 'official' figures from Russia. And you know what they say about how to tell if a Russian is lying ... To me it seems inflated by about double, but that is based on nothing tangible either. So in reality the original data release may be an info-op aimed at the west...

No comment needed.

Narcotic cold turkey withdrawl without bridging (methadone etc)

Wish it did have an effect,but really it is the security council more than the UN itself they need to be removed from.

Reduce the drain on the economy and at the same time, absorb Ukrainian bullets and shrapnel bringing them closer to running out. An obvious win-win.

If, in fact, they were killed and not captured and held quietly somewhere for exactly the reason specified above. A copilot or crew chief even on a tactical mission would be unlikely to have more than a sidearm on their person immediately available as soon as the rotors spun down. Unless they...

Using 10m rounds a year, making 2m, needs to import 8m before allowing for building stockpiles up

If accurate, well planned and executed strategy

Note to designers: air conditioning is a tank saver. They need a different 2-part hatch hinge like on the escape hatches of school busses so it can be opened enough to create cooling ventilation without room for a drone to enter or a grenade to be dropped in it. Parallel to the top of tbe tank...

Hmmmm. If coms are good enough, would be a great mothership to transport a swarm of FPV attack drones a goodly distance, release then ascend and act as a relay and observation station.

Pretty good record of enemy vessels sunk for a country with out a navy (currently)

I nominate for meme of the year

A dense and nerdy look at the effect of sanctions on the Russian economy, although it suffers from a major flaw in that it relies on a single, highly biased source. Officially released Russian data. Given that however, the actual situation is likely much worse. One thing struck me however that...

A double win for them (their logic), increase % ethnic Russians and decrease capability of regions to revolt.

The west has lost all moral supremacy. What some, including me, said in March of 22 is now at least becoming more mainstream in the information space. https://www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/interview/2023/09/11/7169138/

Given the depth of the minefields, up to 500m, you would need 6 with 2 charges each to clear 2 lanes. Or a new towable 4 charge trailer that can be fired by the lead crew from inside. Launch #6 drive 100m launch #5 etc on both lanes simultaneously.
