There is a tiny part of that thinks if they try and deploy them and they will be rubbish and all shot down by NATO or land in Russia or not detonate.

The system will be run by yes men and may be utterly rubbish. Hopefully, we will never find out.
There's some logic in that when one considers their relative ineptness to date of their conventional armed forces.

And Russia doesn't have the best reputation for technical brilliance. Moskvitch cars anyone?

Now if the Japanese started to make nukes that would be a different matter.

They'd probably come with a life time guarantee.
 
I don't know. How are people calculating the cost of his war? I imagine most of the military spend was already spent.
Never mind the cost of the war, what will be interesting is to see who has profited massively from the war. One of the biggest earners going. There’ll be some filthy rich people getting even filthier.

The stocks of armament companies are doing great. Have a look at the cheer leaders for this conflict and see who's paying them.

Some shares in companies that supply weapons and machinery probably would go a miss. Going to be some replacements needed and maybe a few countries will beef up defence after this.

Replacement cost I imagine.
I don't know how much of their kit they've lost so far compared to their total stock, but I would imagine they'd have to rebuild stocks or leave themselves short of kit in the event of conflict elsewhere.

They need to stop the losses or weaken themselves overall.

Is it reasonable to assume that’s just propaganda considering the source?
It’s all
Propaganda from both sides urakine will not be doing as much damage as they say they are and Russians are not as in control as they say they are.

Sod the political side etc as I know nothing about that what I do know is you have two sides who won’t give up easy causing a massive bloodbath with no real winners.

Not much if the media reports on the size of its military threat is anything to go by.

I assume this kills Putin's ambition to rule the world and since no-one is threatening him, there's no rush to replace it.

He will have budgeted for a war lasting so long and had plans, it might not be going to plan and could easily be stopped.

It could also be his plan to hold
Back from the first wave then attack.

His supply line will always cost the problem wars are won and lost on supplies and logistics.
 
Releasing convicts to fight whilst not allowing males 18-60 leave the country and you're telling me the Russians are the ones with all the problems?

It's either a conclusive Russia victory and a puppet state is formed or Ukraine gives territory in the east to Russia.
