Setting up "happy grandfather" to save the day with a full mobilization, or som more goodwill gestures?

The war they're talking about is uniting the Slavs, that's squarely dead and their audience is going to start becoming a bit more unhinged/looking inward for fault so they're trying to cover themselves whilst not actually doing anything tangible to avoid retribution from the inner circle. Doesn't seem tenable to me though that they'd merely accept such small pickings with the immense losses they can never replace no matter how much they pretend to not know about their industrial capacity.Watching the video if the translation is accurate it is 3km2 and 500 men lost (killed, wounded and captured not all killed).
Interesting that both Girkin and Prigozhin are repeating that the war is likely lost though I suspect their motivations are from the perspective of thinking Putin/Russian government isn't doing enough rather than necessarily reflecting Ukraine's successes. (And as some have commented on Prigozhin likely isn't far from Putin's leash still - likely most of what he is saying is sanctioned).
Will Putin do anything about Prigozhin calling him a bunch of slur names and throwing insults?
Audio from that T-34, amazing insight!
The only Russian tank present at today’s Victory Day parade in Moscow was a single T-34.

It's always a bit annoying being America's shield in occasions where it's politically awkward for them to do something, but whatever as long as Ukraine gets what they need.
Do they still make ATACMS? Someone suggest that was the issue.
I believe they do yes, but peace time production is typically low for most items, just enough to replace stuff going out of date and being used in training.
Manufacturing stopped years ago, around 2009 I believe. But I also think I recently read the pentagon has asked Lockheed to start manufacturing back up
