And you wonder why Russia is having relative trouble in Ukraine campaign? Too much secrecy seldom leads to correction of big mistakes. This does not mean Russia will not be able to achieve its goals in this conflict but at a much higher cost.
I doubt we need a ASAT weapon. Anti hypersonic glider is not yet there.
That fellow is Chinese cock sucker,don't listen to his opinion. I posted his tweet on s500 offer to India.
After Russia’s Ukraine invasion, 7 assumptions the US and NATO allies should drop - Breaking Defense
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forced a hard look at long-held theories about deterrence strategies in Europe. In the op-ed below, RAND researcher Michael W. Johnson explains why so many assumptions were wrong and what NATO can do now to update its strategic thinking — as well as its future...

Not going to happen.
We are in a mission to diversify and localise our Russian dominated inventory .
Whatever Putin doing there cant be justify sometimes but as of now we dont have a choice .
S 400 would be the last purchase .
We have our own systems in the pipeline .
Within a decade we will realize it.
Yikes. At what point does Putin or his Generals say the line has been crossed? These are going to rain hell on Russian forces.Ukraine is getting Switchblade. It should be just the first wave of loitering munitions for Kyiv. - Breaking Defense
Two experts from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies argue that loitering munitions are the right weapon for Ukraine, and call on its supporters to open their arsenals.breakingdefense.com
These can also be use in Odessa and start knocking/damaging radars on Russian naval ships off the coast.
Ukraine won the war on the 5th day when Kiev didn't fall sweetie. The rest is merely a formality. It's also called going thru the motions .
Russia President Vladimir Putin Won't Be Able To Use Botox Due To Western Sanctions: Report
I think the war's about to escalate in a very bad way for Ukranians.

It has nothing to do with that. Their basic strategy has failed. Their tactics and logistics are lacking. Nothing to do with the weapons themselves, even if those weapons are 40-50 years old. I mean, after the end of the Cold War, they have only built around 700 T-90s, all their T-64s, T-80s and T-72s are from the 70s and 80s.
Instead of taking cities violently, they are just sitting around them hoping the Ukrainians will surrender. If that was their plan, they should have taken the cities in West Ukraine instead of allowing the UAF take Russian-speakers hostage in East Ukraine. On top of that they don't have numbers, they should have invaded with 400k soldiers instead of 150k. On top of that, they are not using their air force and artillery. But of course, it's not a war, so it's not a surprise they are calling it a "special military operation".
They never anticipated the Ukrainians to use entire cities full of hostages as a winning tactic. It's no different from the Chinese taking Kathmandu and the IA sitting around it doing nothing because they can't kill Nepalis.
Whether the Russians have won or not now depends on how the negotiations go.
Ukraine conflict: Putin lays out his demands in Turkish phone call
Russia's president revealed his peace conditions in a phone call - the BBC spoke to someone who listened in.

The Russians are slightly softer than before, when they wanted a puppet govt before the invasion began, but the demands are pretty much the same as before the war started.
Of course we do. Plenty of Chinese satellites to kill in orbit. We even need the ability to kill satellites in GTO.

Give me single occasion where Russian gears performed well in battlefield. In last 50 years of history. Russian equipment in hand of Russians are behaving like boiled potato.It has nothing to do with that. Their basic strategy has failed. Their tactics and logistics are lacking.

@randomradio you can't always blame tactics,users,lack of training & altitude (yeas feb27) for the failure of Russian weapons.
(Can't believe I'm defending Russian equipment)
Drown out the noise about Russian equipment and ask yourself this... If Russian air force had the proper training and tactics in combined arms would the war be going so bad for them right now? Air supremacy where you can call in CAS at anytime day or night can make a below average ground force look very good. If you were to give the US exactly what the Russian's have but keep the same level of training US implements on its military branches the war would be over by now. I think 70-75% of Russia's failure in Ukraine has nothing to do with Russian military equipment but their tactics and lack of training from conscripts to the most senior level officers. Corruption also plays a HUGE part.
Now excuse me as a puke for defending Russian equipment.
Btw chicom Xi is looking at this and wondering the same thing about his military.

To put things into perspective this is coming from the land of the free & home of the brave who couldn't deal with goat *censored*ers armed with 20th century weapons i.e assault rifles , RPGs , a few other small arms, IEDs & motorbikes. Yes that's it . No Bayrakhtar drones no LMs no ceaseless supplies of platforms arms & ammo by almost the entire Europe.
Yet by the end of 2 decades they shafted the US so thoroughly that the US & it's minions the UK literally scrambled to make an exit with their pants around their ankles.
All this was barely 6 months ago. If you think they've learnt from it & evolved new tactics to tackle the Talibunnies , ask them if they're ready to go in once more . Do check their response.
Weird flex by westerners pretending not to understand what Putler is on about. I think they know exactly what he means & he said similar stuff in the past toohttps://t.co/eRgG2jcIum

What's the use of Russian equipment or Western equipment if they are not used properly or used at all?
We used Russian equipment quite well in our wars.
Apparently 2 Su-25 of UkAF shot down.
The entire thread is worth checking out for pictures & videos on the Russian side of the story. No idea how Twitter allowed this handle that much latitude which is why those interested need to check it out ASAP.
USA has also now become an important crude oil source for India (7.3%). Imports from the US are expected to increase substantially in the current year, probably by around 11%. Its market share will be 8%: Sources

The jump in oil prices after Ukraine conflict has added to our challenges. Pressure for competitive sourcing has naturally increased. Russia has been a marginal supplier of crude oil to India (less than 1% of our requirement). There is no G2G arrangement of import: Sources

Notably, recent Western sanctions on Russia have carve-outs to avoid impact on energy imports from Russia. Russian banks that are the main channels for European Union payments for Russian energy imports have not been excluded from SWIFT: Sources

Countries with oil self-sufficiency or those importing themselves from Russia cannot credibly advocate restrictive trading. India’s legitimate energy transactions should not be politicized: Sources
