Here is an interesting paragraph. They said Ukro needs 4 million shells but even their best effort can only supply 1.5 million and they expect Ukro to win this battle.
The officers also said they now need more basic traditional weapons as well as drones. “We need Howitzers and shells, hundreds of thousands of shells, and rockets,” one of them told POLITICO, estimating that Ukraine needed 4 million shells and 2 million drones. “We told the Western partners all the time that we have the combat experience, we have the battlefield understanding of this war. [They] have the resources, and they need to give us what we need,” he added.
Europe, for its part, is trying to help Ukraine make up for its colossal disadvantage in artillery shells. And in this regard, a proposed Czech-led bulk artillery ammunition purchase could bring Ukraine’s total from both within and outside the EU to around 1.5 million rounds at a cost of $3.3 billion — but that’s still short of what it needs.

They can have the shells but so what? Russians blow up all their artillery pieces.

Inflation has declined significantly and now at moderate levels. The US governments own economic projections has US GDP growing to $40T in less than a decade.

A car used to be 3,000 dollars in 1980. Now it's 10 times that much.

Moderate inflation is healthy for economies.

Bigger numbers makes mind more complex. In Russia a hamburger costs 300 rubles, a car costs 3 million rubles.

Because Russia is a s**t ton poorer than the US.

I think you have never been in the supermarket these days. Prices are still going up, and so do insurance, gas, electricity, etc I don't know what they are basing when they say US inflation is only 3% must be creative accounting

Nowhere did you prove the zircon wasn’t shot down.No such thing The Ukro has been lying through their teeth This Ukro official confirms what I have been saying all along that those Wunder weapons are all hype
Ukraine is at great risk of its front lines collapsing
According to high-ranking Ukrainian officers, the military picture is grim and Russian generals could find success wherever they decide to focus their upcoming offensive.www.politico.eu
However, the high-ranking Ukrainian officers reminded that relying on Russian errors is not a strategy, and they were bitter about the missteps they say hamstrung Ukraine’s resistance from the start — missteps made by both the West and Ukraine. They were also scathing about Western foot-dragging, saying supplies and weapons systems came too late and in insufficient numbers to make the difference they otherwise could have.
“Zaluzhny used to call it ‘the War of One Chance,’” one of the officers said. “By that, he meant weapons systems become redundant very quickly because they’re quickly countered by the Russians. For example, we used Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles [supplied by Britain and France] successfully — but just for a short time. The Russians are always studying. They don’t give us a second chance. And they’re successful in this.”
“Don’t believe the hype about them just throwing troops into the meat grinder to be slaughtered,” he added. “They do that too, of course — maximizing even more the impact of their superior numbers — but they also learn and refine.”
The officers said the shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles supplied by the U.K. and U.S. in the first weeks of the invasion came in time, helping them save Kyiv — and so, too, did the HIMARS, the light multiple-launch rocket systems, which were used to great effect, enabling them to push Russia out of Kherson in November 2022.
This war has shown the world how overhyped Russian weapons are.
Wonder why we haven’t heard in months of a single intercept by the mighty s300/s400/s500. All markets by hype
