Thanks to European assistance, Ukraine is significantly narrowing the artillery advantage that RuZZia used to have.
A lot of the assistance was made possible not just by directly ramping up production within Europe alone, but also by relying on a global network of suppliers from countries including South Africa, Korea, Turkiye, India, and Australia.
Meanwhile RuZZia is also relying on foreign suppliers for their ammunition needs. Reportedly half of their artillery shells are coming from North Korea. That means RuZZia is unable to domestically satisfy their own thirst for ammunition, so now they have to pay North Korea for their own shells.
Some thoughts:
- Ukraine is demonstrating exactly WHY foreign alliances matter. Something JD the Couch Fukker really ought to learn.
- RuZZia used to enjoy a 10:1 artillery advantage, but now that's down to 2:1.
- RuZZia is also running low on armored vehicles, which is why motorcycles and Jeeps are being sighted more and more.
- All of the above may be the reason why RuZZia's offensives on the eastern front have stalled. RuZZia was supposed to have taken the Ukrainian supply hub of Pokrovsk by now, but reports indicate that Ukraine has taken back some positions there.
- All of the above may also be the result of Ukraine's incursion into the RuZZian oblast of Kursk. There has been some debate among analysts and milbloggers over whether Ukraine's Kursk offensive was really worth it. I believe it was given how much resources it drained from the RuZZian war machine.
- Reports these days indicate a coming summer offensive by RuZZia. I personally don't think that's going to be any different than anything else RuZZia has tried during PooTin's entire war of choice.
- Instead, indications are that RuZZia needs to keep forward momentum going AT ANY COST. Doesn't matter if RuZZia takes even a few square meters of territory per day. The minute RuZZia stops forward momentum is the minute PooTin's political fortunes start to dry up like a tree without water.
- Maybe by the time that happens, the dumbass Trump will finally show up and say, "OK PooTin, now's a good time to make a deal."
