Russian special military operation in Ukraine #16

I am not giving my opinion on t90 vs t72, I post what Uralvagonzavod released on their own channel

They said white house is working to stop UVZ, but they will continue to work, and posted t90M

The old world is done, it's gone, the very orientation of Russian defense companies has shifted due to world changes

Russia will no longer depend on exports, and domestic orders will increase

I will not be surprised to see all orders fulfilled and additional orders placed and filled in secret

The time of disclosing Russian orders is gone.

The west will have no idea how many t90m or su30 or su57 are in the works right now

And none of that info is available to guys on the internet

If the West thinks they can declare war in Russia and depend on Russia happily announcing orders and figures for equipment they are so wrong its not even funny

Well first off that was never the plan, that's just what the armchair experts here said, shouldn't have listened to them. The reality is Russia has insufficient forces in Ukraine and Ukraine is exploiting this

Wishful thinking

You or noone has any clue what Kremlin and MOD want

If you believe Putin is building the evil empire, you're better off reading the Sun or the Drive for info


You have no clue what MOD and Kremlin time table for this war is

When it could escalate, when it will die down

You are observer like every other irrelevant observer is

The generals and president along with the leadership define the goals

Denazification and demilitarization is kremlinspeak
For those not important enough to know

So sit back and watch the show like every one else

The Russian economy is a different economy, foreign currency is really unattractive right now

Domestic orders support the currency

So right now I'd bet that orders have been placed that were unannounced by MOD

The policy of announcing orders in the State Armament Programs were during peacetime under a different world order

Now things have changed, probably forever

Russia won't disclose orders, and the domestic production schedule is facilitated with state support of the ruble

It's not like 2018 where the Russian economy was a capital outflow style economy and SAP 2018 was oriented towards a semi globalized world

2022 was the year that globalization died , so I would not doubt that huge orders have been placed quietly and all industry is working without issue simply due to oil and gas revenues and strong local currency

Well Russia is involved in a major conflict and the Swedes and the Finns are looking at joining the NATzo clan. Increasing orders and production rates seems to be a logical next step to defend the Motherland from the fascist hordes.

Well to be fair, Finland was going to join soon enough anyways, all Ukraine did was speed things up.

Sweden was the one who joined cause of the war.

Now all we need is China joining CSTO and we got some videogame factions going.

Even during the Cold War years countries like Sweden and Austria were practically part of NATzo - even the "completely and totally neutral" Swiss!
The Finns on the other hand were much less so inclined through that period, but hey if they wish to put a target on their back (like the Baltic countries) - why not?

@diabetius u stated "That's nonsense. An AK is better at every conceivable role save for sniping. An AK firing semi auto with iron sights is far more effective at defending buildings at realistic ranges than a mosin with irons is."

Clearly you have zero military experience and majority of your comments are BS hence I have u on ignore enough said.

@regular you stated "
It's evident they won't be doing armed school cop duty and will be part of an offensive on an ever-changing battlefield. SVD is superior to any bolt action there is in ANY ROLE, even in sniping"

Yet again its clear u have no military experience or weapons intelligence. SVD is a marksman/battlefield rifle it isn't superior at anything other than that role. It's certainly not superior to sniping as you claim it cannot match the accuracy of a bolt action sniper rifle and it cannot match the range and accuracy of a 12.7mm sniper rifle. I actually fired a Dragunov in Ukraine back in 2014 (happy to show you the pic) on the same day also a mosin nagant carbine. Ask yourself if the SVD is superior to any other weapon in any role as u state then every Russian would be armed with one and nobody would be armed with assault rifles and sniper rifles, LMG, etc. Your comment was pretty dumb to be honest. Every weapon has it's purpose and it's advantages and disadvantages.

because Russia hasn't started up a new T90M production line

Russia has made a couple new production T90M tanks. Like single digits I think.
So they could make more if they wanted to. But I think after this war is over production will switch to T-14 Armata.

The production lines are unknown , the days of GPV announcements are gone

Russia isn't going to announce like in the days of rosboronexport sales to EU and other states what it is making, in which quantity and all this

The only figures people can go off is what was announced before

As I said, those days are gone

That's how PLA operates and Russia always should have too, China never announced how many j 20 or j31 they made everything is deduced by satellite Intel and pictures

But Russia should no longer announce these things

Sweden has been NATO in all but name since the 1950s, so it makes no difference. Sweden coordinated everything military with the U.S. from the late 40's and onwards. Sweden even took direct hits, lost personnel while performing crazy daredevil photo reconnaissance missions and later extremely provocative SIGINT against the USSR on direct U.S. orders for decades, and it made sure to design its military infrastructure so that they could seamlessly accomodate U.S. assets in case of an all-out European war etc. Yeah, they meanwhile professed to be "neutral" but that was mostly a show for the home audience. For the same reason, these "direct hits" were thoroughly covered up at the time, and were only acknowledged over the past two decades.

Finland was actually far more "neutral" in practice during the Cold War, less NATOfied so to speak. Them sharing a significant border to the USSR was part of it, actual skin in the game so to speak, the diplomatic game that's called "Finlandization" nowadays (Kekkonen doctrine etc) was a major factor(1), Finland did a balancing act that worked very well.

But since the fall of the USSR in the early 1990s Finland's also been NATO in all but name.

(1) Sweden never shared any border with the USSR, nor the RF later, but early NATO-member Norway (since 1949!) did share actual borders, and in spite of being in NATO from the get-go Norway dealt with the USSR and later the RF in a much more diplomatic manner. Again, actual skin in the game. Well, until they kinda blew it with the Frode Berg affair a couple of years ago. A plot that was no doubt concocted at Langley, TBH. Oslo took the hit ("NATO" more often than not means being a U.S. vassal/useful idiot, after all), but yeah.

there are two ways ,to defeat people in a trench.. one is the russian way using artillery day and night firing 100 strikes to kill one enemy soldier , and the other way the ukrainian way using drones .. which one is more effective?

With drones you can see in real time , second by second where you strike and how many soldiers
are there and not have to wave hundreds of strikeks in an place that have no soldiers. notice how even cheap drones with unguided bombs can strike directly in trenches..   this is what is causing russia to lose so many soldiers.. russia need thousands of this cheap drones , they can damage the moral of soldiers even if you don't kill that many . but the idea of knowing the airspace is infested with drones
above you that can see you clearly where you are,cause fear on anyone.

Again most won't care because of the professional army

But the view of army people themselves like Razvedos and Kotenok will spread in the ranks

1000 likes, 1000000000 dislikes, doesnt matter.

Its the internet. Reality is different than internet and we all seen this.

Don't play stupid please. It never has done anything. Remember Navalny's millions of viewers and likes and followers? Did that sway public opinion in his favor? No.

Nothing wrong with this. You will know this better than me, but people still remember shameful Kursk handling by the army and, more so, Pavel Grachev and Grozny.

By talking openly about losses or mistakes made, you show accountability of the people that made those mistakes to your own population. If this is not shown, population will start to look for other sources of information and automatically, become more susceptible to your enemies propaganda.
@sepheronx
With all due respect me and you are not Russians, neither we live in Russia. We can have different views, but it's not our family and friends that are dying in Ukraine.
Making parallels with Navalny's videos is completely misplaced.
