Covert Cabal and his helper has been counting artillery.
Major artillery depots show dramatic reductions. Satellite imagery shows that Shchuchye has lost nearly 2,000 pieces since the start of the war and now holds about 2,900, while Yekaterinburg has seen a 20% drop. Russia's artillery has fallen from about 14,480 pre-war pieces to about 6,134. This depletion indicates a shift to older, less capable artillery, which affects battlefield effectiveness.

Hopefully most of what is left is too rusted to be salvageable.

It will take time to destroy all the Soviet hardware that the Russian Federation inherited. But with the right support, the Ukrainians will do it, and they'll do it a lot cheaper than we in the West could ever do it.

Same here. I've made monthly donations to United24 since its inception. I didn't trust the individual collections because there are always people who see an opportunity to run with the money until some time has passed and you know who to trust.
Don't get stressed out. We do what we can, and then we hope that the West can really support Ukraine.

We're all at war, whether or not anyone wants to admit it, and it's miserable. It just sucks. Things look good for November though, and russia will be back in 1991 sooner rather than later. Also, we lived to see the moment in time when their tanks ran out. Hopefully soon we'll see their artillery run out as well.

What I can't figure out is how it is lost on them how many russian oligarchs have fallen out of 5th story basement windows over the years. That's the kind of shit that did in the American mob as well. We all know Elmo couldn't defend himself from a wet towel spanking. I'm not sure how he plans to survive in the long run if his shitty little plans work out.
