As a Ukrainian, I am happy Russia is having "military issues". That aside, the problem is this - Russia's primary generator of national wealth is oil and gas exports of raw product. Its primary internal employment is in the military-industrial complex. What do you need to get a job like that? That's right, you need proof of military service. How do you get that? You sign a contract that promises that you will never get sent to the front line, and then you get sent there. If you are lucky, you get captured by Ukrainians. Else, you die or are heavily wounded. 30000+ dead so far. Russia's military is subject to extreme corruption. Logistical supplies were sold instead of being stockpiled for wartime needs. Equipment in long-term storage had its parts stripped and sold. That means Russia is running into the same problem that doomed Hitler - unable to feed troops and fuel its vehicles. One really bad problem Russia has is communications. Its encrypted radios are non-existent due to corruption in the contract that was supposed to provide them and so it's communicating military orders over open air. Ukraine has encrypted radios. So, why is Russia faltering? It is relying on the Soviet Army tactics while Ukraine adopted NATO-like tactics. The problem with Soviet tactics is they assume the entire heavy industry is in war mode and they do not value soldiers' lives. Each battalion-tactical group is a self-contained unit that heavily relies on military vehicles. When those vehicles get destroyed, which is what Ukraine excels at with its drone-guided artillery, these groups become under equipped infantry and thus useless in achieving their objectives. Russia was able to produce 60 modern tanks per year. They lost 23 years of tank production so far. These are absolutely catastrophic losses that are unrecoverable, but Ukraine can't win yet because it doesn't have the weapons it needs to cut off Russia's ability to mount attacks. Those weapons are MLRS, which is what Russia is using to rain terror upon our cities. In fact, Ukraine has captured many tanks and MLRS systems from Russia. According to conservative estimates by Ukraine's ministry of defense, the total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 29.05 were approximately: personnel - about 30150 (+150) persons were liquidated, tanks ‒ 1338 (+8) од, APV ‒ 3270 (+12) од, artillery systems – 631 (+3) од, MLRS - 203 (+0) од, Anti-aircraft warfare systems - 93 (+0) од, aircraft – 207 (+0) од, helicopters – 174 (+0) од, UAV operational-tactical level - 504 (+1), cruise missiles - 116 (+0), warships / boats - 13 (+0) од, vehicles and fuel tanks - 2240 (+14) од, special equipment - 48 (+0). Ukraine will win, but it's taking a long time to get the long range weapons it needs. Want to help? Figure out how to accelerate delivery of MLRS.
