Is it true and realistic though or are they importing from others whom already brought from Russia supplies and thus hiding they are just not buying direct. Like where is all this extra capacity coming from?

The Germans are probably digging up their part of the Black Triangle again for coal.

This as a massive test for the effectiveness of NATO weapons in real war situations.

Arms manufactures are getting priceless data money cant buy.

And one would imagine that any interesting Russian or Iranian equipment that’s being captured is ending up at a nice quiet NATO base somewhere in Poland where interested parties who are supporting Ukraine can pull said captured stuff apart at their leisure.

Again, priceless data gleaned for next to nothing.

Germany are buying from elsewhere instead e.g Qatar and US for LNG. Russia are mostly selling to China and India - who are both filling their boots with heavily discounted prices. There's not been a huge extra capacity come online, its all just moved around. Demand from China was also lower due to all the lockdowns they had.

Where Russia is losing out is that their capacity to export gas to places other than Europe are severely limited by lack of pipelines and shipping capacity. They're still making a ton of money on oil though - even at capped prices. Their extraction cost per barrel is one of the lowest in the world. None of that pesky H&S or environmental stuff to pay for !

This is what was thinking they just start building ports for liquid gas.

Yes, and all the stuff used has to be replaced. Kerching.

Replaced with what exactly?
UK has supplied Ukraine with loads, not much is UK military stock to be replaced, outside of munitions and ammunition there is zilch replacements, likewise for most other items delivered by other nations.

The west is still hell-bent on shrinking thier militaries, minus some cheap talk that will never happen anyway.

Vast majority is surplus stocks.

More like old stock, NATO shipping end of life munitions desperately needed in Ukraine but of no use to us anymore.

They will be replaced, there is no way we are sending hundreds of tons of munitions and not replacing them with new better ones.

Its how usa aid works; send old stuff, they get the new stuff

And yet the UK giving aid to India, why are we supporting them when they have a space program and buy Russian oil? Is it because we are afraid all the it/helplines will go down

Medvedev says he wants Russians who left after mobilization was announced to be added to the banned list from ever being able to return - effectively they want to strip their citizenship

Apparently Bradleys scored more kills on T72 tanks in the gulf war than the M1 Abrahams did. What made them so good is that the Bradley's often lead the charge forward so they can scout which meant they made first contact and they carry TOW missiles and they obliterated the T72's, in one particular battle 2 bradleys destroyed a unit of 8 T72's by themselves

Battle of 73 Easting was one of those i think

The Germany does not have much choice. Most of the pipes are offline that were pumping for them.

Munitions, yes, but not equipment.
