Russia is doomed Summary of the current Russian economic situation: >import: dead >export: high, but: >rubble is "strong" so government revenue significantly down (from -25% to -50%) >budget surplus, but: >only because of a significant decrease in government spending (i.e. cuts, i wonder what was cut) >after SWIFT ban on Sberbank, reintroduction of some capital controls (you can't get foreign currency anymore), but: >CB is desperately trying to weaken rubble by lowering interest rates to boost revenue and kickstart the currently dead economy >speaking of which: commercial economy is pretty much dead right now, it's coasting off of pre-existing inventory, and reserves being injected into it >despite inflation, drop of demand: bizzare situation where prices have increased and yet the demand has dropped; although this has arguably led to a slow-down of inflation, and even a price drop of some products one of the most peculiar turn of events is the price drop for laptops, GPUs etc.
the explanation is that demand, especially for such products, has absolutely cratered (people are not buying anything right now, they try to be content with what they have and put off purchases for the future), while vendors are waiting with still some stock, and need liquidity
this low demand is a deflationary characteristic. deflation is worse for the economy than inflation. but this low demand is most likely temporary.
the problem with this is that right now pre-existing stock can be slowly bought by scalpers over time, and when demand returns (most likely by Christmas season, people will also want a piece of normality), there will suddenly be a lot of demand, and very little stock, additionally only provided for by scalpers. outlook: >deflationary trend until late 2022, heavily inflationary trend from late 2022 onward,possibly even hyperinflation
tldr: the only reason the sanctions are "not doing much" to Russia right now is because Russians are on frugal survival-mode in overdrive rn
Remember! You can also contact foreign legion recruitment centers on spot. Bring your staff with yourself! Dont forget to mention, that you want to take part in battle for Donbass, bonus good boi points for mention Severodonetsk and Lisichyansk!
not really. they lost one cobra to an Igla after they shot down the Rusisan Su-24, was probably delivered as vengeance. The kurds never really had working MANPADS before or after just stress. the only helicopters with ejection seats is the Ka-52

Less than 1k AFU troops in Zolote kotel. It could have been the 50k in all of Donbass if Russia had mobilized and not wasted time on the north.
It should do severe damage to something like a Bradley. Even lighting up a tank to the rear or side might cause severe damage, depending on the tank in question.
M919 is an APFSDS round for the 25 mm bushmaster, the russians have some for their 30 mm cannons too

I'm only interested in the business aspects of this, but I thought you guys would like this article:
>Russia’s ruble is at its strongest level in 7 years despite massive sanctions. >Russia is the world’s largest exporter of gas and the second-largest exporter of oil. Its primary customer? The European Union, which has been buying billions of dollars worth of Russian energy per week while simultaneously trying to punish it with sanctions. >That’s put the EU in an awkward spot – it has now sent exponentially more money to Russia in oil, gas and coal purchases than it has sent Ukraine in aid, which has helped fill the Kremlin’s war chest. And with Brent crude prices 60% higher than they were this time last year, even though many Western countries have curbed their Russian oil buying, Moscow is still making a record profit.
The fartdley won't even stop a 30mm AP, it's designed to stop 23mm rounds at a distance.

There are reports that Ukrainian troops in Gorskoe and Zolotoe are signaling their readiness to surrender, there are up to 2,000 militants there (numbers are estimates)
Ambassador of the LPR to the Russian Federation
The forces of the People's Militia of the LPR took control of Zolote and Gorskoye, Izvestia reports
What to believe?

Can you guys wake me up when something changes? Thanks.

It says on the image that its in Zaporizhzhia, which is pretty far from the front line, i doubt they moved their forces there but it looks like its taken over by Russia
Why post discredited pasta over multiple threads? Were you the one posting >muh Maidan not a coup meme here as well?
Chase Torres
The districts of Zolote-3 and Zolote-4 were liberated in the morning, the battles for the complete liberation of Zolote and Gorsky continue, a representative of the People's Militia of the LPR told RIA Novosti
There are reports that Ukrainian troops in Gorsky and Zolote are signaling their readiness to surrender, there are up to 2,000 militants there - LPR ambassador to Russia

The map pointer leads only to their offices. I'm looking at satpics cause it should be visible from orbit.

Very nice, thank you
It might make a difference with t64s or some of the t72 variants, idk at this point.

> The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has published footage of the work of the special Volga train, created by specialists of the railway troops of the Western Military District to conduct engineering reconnaissance and restore tracks in the zone of a special military operation.
> The train has an armored cover, weapons, equipment and fire equipment are placed on the platforms, shelters for firing and repelling enemy attacks.
PS: - Russian intervention in Syria -> "Russia is doomed!"

30mm APDS (at least the russian one) can't really pen a T-72 side, because that's 80mm and the round pens around that. Maybe more. Or less. Should go through NATO hulls cause they're paper thin though
Ukraine is a huge ass country, plus the ex-Soviet states have in depth of dismantling and assembling the Su-25 so yeah, they probably hide them somewhere
We caused a natural disaster in the Black Sea and it will affect Romania. Take that, Russia! To top their retardation they also made the idiotic and false statement that most of the arms shipments to Ukraine flow through Romania, managing to piss off the Gypsy MoD.
