Well they had huge Soviet stockpiles, but they’ve pulled 50% of all their artillery and armor from storage. Large portions of what remains are in terrible condition.

The Russians can probably sustain these levels of losses into 2026, but will start seeing significant problems replacing losses from there. They’ll have to look for a way to end this war, because they can’t sustain these losses forever.

All of their territorial gains over the last year are tactical only. No strategic or operational breakthroughs. And they’ve suffered at least 500K dead and wounded.

Don't discount current production, ammo and newer systems

those old stores are a buffer that are holding and might till another year

plus, they have an ally in China who will for sure replenish them if needed.. ego wins and losses, but greater good for the two lies in beating back and destroying the the EU proxy that is Zelensky's Ukraina.

plus, plus.. you murricans aren't all in, and likely will never get, even under a Kamla presidency.. Trump will choke the NATO horse to a halt without ceding ground and maintaining a bossman posture.. Russia will anyway take years to recover full.

The US doesn't WANT to beat the Russians to a pulp and corner them because they know where that leads...

not good!

Footage of an artillery duel in Ukraine, between the Russian 203-mm SPG 2S7M "Malka" and the Ukrainian 155-mm SPG "PzH 2000" of German production. Technical information about the SPG "Malka" in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The SPG "Malka" is the most powerful weapon of the Russian army, its firing range is up to 47 kilometers. The SPG Panzerhaubitze 2000 began to be produced in Germany since 1998, its firing range is up to 67 km with an active-reactive projectile. Filming of the artillery battle was conducted in the Avdiivka direction. The Ukrainian SPG PzH 2000 was destroyed with the third shot at a range of 20 km, the SPG "Malka" used a high-explosive fragmentation projectile. The fire adjustment of the Malka self-propelled gun was carried out by a crew from the Russian ZALA reconnaissance drone.

 
Russian servicemen spoke about the experience of using the Shturm-S self-propelled anti-tank missile systems in Ukraine; the 9P149 combat vehicles have not been shown for almost a year. The Shturm-S anti-tank system was adopted for service in 1979 and was created on the chassis of the MT-LB transporter-tractor; technical information about it is on the channel. The 9P149 combat vehicle is highly appreciated by soldiers for its cross-country ability, reliability, speed and squat silhouette. Details in the video.

 
Footage of a Russian Su-35 aircraft attacking, presumably with a Kh-35U missile, a Ukrainian ATCR-33S radar at an airfield near Kharkov. The Kh-35U missile has a range of up to 260 kilometers and has a 145-kilogram warhead, we previously wrote about them. The ATCR-33S radar was developed in Italy and is designed to control the air traffic of aircraft at a range of up to 83 km. The radar can be equipped with a G-33 parabolic antenna or an antenna with an ALE phased array. The radar's operating range is from 2700 to 2900 MHz, and its azimuth coverage is 360 degrees. As a result of the Kh-35U missile strike, the ATCR-33S radar was completely destroyed. The video also shows the impact of another Russian Kh-35U missile, near the Ukrainian Skala-M air defense radar; the radar was possibly hit by shrapnel.

 
The Russian Su-35S fighter jet attacked the Ukrainian MiG-29 for the first time with an R-37M missile at a colossal range of 213 km. This was reported by specialized Russian resources. It is worth noting that there are no photos or videos confirming this, in fact, it is impossible to confirm this, since the Ukrainian media do not publish footage of destroyed equipment. As reported, the Russian Su-35S fighter jet used ultra-long-range R-37M missiles, a link to a video about them is in the comments to the video. The MiG-29 was detected due to the fact that the Su-35S fighter jet is equipped with the N035 Irbis radar. The Irbis radar has a maximum peak power of up to 20 kW. Which allows it to detect targets at a range of up to 400 km. The MiG-29 has an RCS of approximately 5 m2, the N035 Irbis radar can detect an air target with an RCS of 3 m2 at a range of up to 400 km.

 
The Russian army has started using new ammunition for FPV drones in Ukraine. They can be called new conditionally, since they are homemade and created from sections of a hose with a powder charge used in the UR-77 Meteorite mine clearing units, also known as the "Snake Gorynych". Details in the video.
