Ouch! wonder if the Russians are going to work out how to counter these drones they are devastating.

They don't seem to have an effective system. They're tiny and low flying so aren't picked up by conventional air defences and even if you blanketed the front line with effective AA systems the cost of hitting them with AA missiles is likely to mean it's just cheaper for Russia to find more bodies.

Whilst I suspect it's accurate by virtue of necessity I can't help but think there's still a mountain of corruption taking place that diminishes their ability to increase stocks.

Russia seems slow to address such issues but I suspect they'll eventually move to stamp it out. I see potential here for Russia to mobilise to a war footing while much of the West is still in denial. We can't ignore here that the situation has potential for Russia to be backed into a corner with little to lose.

I can't see it working. Corruption is so ingrained at every level it would take decades to work out. Until those at the top are honest, no-one underneath is going to take any notice. Its something that has to be called out every time and in Russia that won't happen. Honest people won't risk it because they're too likely to end up on the wrong side of a beating or worse.

You can't stop it, but if they go full military mobilisation and/or something akin to North Korea style they'd start punishing it harshly, secret police and executions, etc. and that will stamp a lot of it out.

But the corruption will just move to the secret police and remain among the untouchables.

If Russia are using off the shelf, uncooled thermal sights on T72 B`s , i think it might actually demonstrate theat sanctions are having a significant impact. Next we`ll see DRODZ making a coming back. Heck right now i give Chieftan Tank a fighting chance :P

I came across a video on you tube showing a terminator in action, in a woods, bloody hell that thing is scary, I had no idea until I saw it for myself.

Prey God the Ukrainians got out the firing line.
 
I am beginning to think that drones now control the skies.

Whilst watching a few videos of the war I noticed than in all of them something was missing.

Air support, not one had any fighter planes flying in support.

When you see footage in Syria the Russian jets are everywhere, seems like hundreds of them, in Ukraine they are all to scared to fly.
