@kamilkazani: Let's discuss Russian economy. Many underestimate its dependency upon technological import. Russia's so deeply integrated into Western technological chains that severing these ties will lead to its col...…

Spending money on the military depends on the priority. They have enough money to spend, even double it. Also, Russian stuff is not expensive. Assuming a T-14 costs $3M, 4000 of them would cost $12B. Assuming 500 a year, that's $1.5B. Assuming 250 Su-57s at $40M each, that's $10B. At 40 a year, that's $1.6B. So it's not really as much as you think it is. Their yearly $30B modernisation budget more than caters to their needs.
And no, their losses are practically free, all paid for by the SU. They have only paid the upgrade costs for those, and that's basically like a few hundred thousand each, and they have many times that in storage. The war is really cheap for the Russians when it comes to materials.
So you suggest NATO fight and we all die in nuclear war eh.
It's not a like a conventional war against Russia would take longer than 2-3 days.
Russia is starting to lose territory at the top of their Eastern section and they're stalled everywhere else. So it won't come to that. It could also be said that China is fighting NATO to the last Russian. Russia isn't bank-rolling this themselves, unless they're completely crazy(?), so they'll be in China's pocket after, which is still crazy.
If tanks are $3m, they've lost >$3bn in tanks alone in Ukraine. Say the average jet cost is $30m, that's another $6bn. Then helis, artillery, MLRS etc. This is 10 weeks, there are 52 weeks in a year.
Until it comes to replacing them, plus the cost of logistics, munitions etc. War is never cheap, that's just foolish.
It's said as a joke about the glaring reality.
The US/China will fight India to the last Pakistani.
The US will fight China to the last Indian/Taiwanese.
And so on.
What it means is all this talk of peace if BS. The West simply doesn't want peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Not yet happened, but you can say that China will fight Europe to the last Russian.
Um... there are 700+ F-35's that have entered service the USAF alone has 300+ F-35's which is more than Russia's "modern" fleet of SU-35's and SU-30SM's. It is more than the whole fighter fleet of France.
Try another analogy, bub.
I'll agree with that, but the war is becoming increasingly unpopular in Russia. A 3 day special military operation has turned into 3 months of getting their ar5e handed to them. Ukrainians have nowhere else to go, Russians, on the other hand, already have a massive country to live in, so this war is of little interest to most outside the Kremlin. They don't like fighting brothers, and they certainly don't like dying and getting wounded.
