Yep thanks for the article Paraphi and it makes sense for the outsourcing of components being sanctioned leading to Russia's blindness in orbit.
Can't get over how far Moscow has fallen behind in so many areas. When I was a youngster we were in awe of the Soviet Union and their immense war machine industrial complex which appeared super advanced and cutting edge. It really was cutting edge, fantastic planes, subs, space stations etc. Only thirty or forty years ago! Wowzers, how the world's changed in no time at all.

The U.S. surpassed russian military tech under Reagan in the 80s, which started becoming public in the 90s.
While russia still has a LOT of older weapons, they are hopelessly behind Western tech at this point.

If you want even more evidence of that, look up lazerpigs video on the Moskva. Built at the height of the Soviet era (by Ukraine, of course) and a complete disaster in terms of maintenance. Apparently it was falling apart and most of the weapon systems - including defense - wasnt working. And if that was a flagship you got to wonder about the state of the rest of the navy...

Certainly not but that is the way this is panning out. All around the week that Russia and China start trading in their own currencies. You actually think that this is about anything but the usual interventions, look at all the countries that have tried to escape the hegemony of the Dollar. They all get a big stick, then a puppet government. This time it might or might not work.I don't know if Putin is a WEF stooge, but to have a reset a world war would be a sure thing. An attack on the infrastructure is definitely an escalation.these guys do a good analysis. www.bitchute.com...

I sure do hope so.

* The Russian military command may be suspending the deployment of newly formed units to Ukraine due to recent Russian losses and overall degraded morale.
* Russian forces are failing to reinforce the new frontline following Ukrainian gains in eastern Kharkiv Oblast and are actively fleeing the area or redeploying to other axes.
* Ukrainian forces continued targeting Russian military assets and positions in Kherson Oblast, likely steadily degrading them.
* The Ukrainian recapture of Izyum has likely degraded Russian forces’ ability to conduct artillery strikes along the Izyum-Slovyansk highway.
* The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced the restoration of the second reserve power transmission line to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).
* Ukraine’s sweeping counteroffensive is damaging Russian administrative capabilities and driving Russian departures from occupied parts of Ukraine far behind the line of contact.
