if both side continue like this , i doubt that offensive force have that much ammo left to do anything meaningful.Judging from the strikes and shelling in the south, I think the ukrainian army plans for a summer vacation at the Azov sea. The russians camping out along this southern front might experience real war very soon.
oh , so you guys support exploitation of women because the war ravaged situation imposed on them take away any means of supporting themselves away from themIt's pretty much every war, from the world wars to the wars around the globe that made up the entirety of the cold war.
Even as recently as the Afghan war, prostitution in Afghanistan was rampant during both the US and Soviet occupations.
Back during the British invasion of Afghanistan, a bunch of Afghan prostitutes ended up marrying British soldiers and leaving with them.
During the Isis take over of Iraq and Syria sexual slavery was huge.
In the various drug wars in Latin america, prostitutes were and are still rampant. Going to Columbia or Brazil, you'll run into prostitutes at every street corner.
War and sex are closely linked.
Fun fact, after the first World War, birth rates increased exponentially in both Europe and North America leading to the generation we can baby boomers.
those cruise missiles are long range and expensive , Russia must build a smaller version with shorter range of 500-600km that can be fired from Ukraine border from flankers.
They do mass produce missiles of different calibers. Russia runs war economy.those cruise missiles are long range and expensive , Russia must build a smaller version with shorter range of 500-600km that can be fired from Ukraine border from flankers.
that would be way cheaper , use 2500km-4000km missile for attacking a country that border you is beyound me , that is just waste of money and war ressource , they must keep them if it become necessary to attack targets farther away .
For good reason. Hope you dont believe polish troops entered Belgorod too.I recall saying that few divisions from the polish armed forces partook in the kherson offensive ppl called me delusional last time
no matter if they build missile with half the size and 1/4h of the price tag , for me that make a lot more sense , than use the missile that are far more useful if it come to war with NATO for example .They do mass produce missiles of different calibers. Russia runs war economy.
Putin will raise military spendings to $100 billion per year. Probably more. Factory runs 6 day week or even 24/7. Workers 12h shift. Even female prison inmates are involved in military production. Russia will reduce civil production of goods to a minimum. Then import what needed from China or elsewhere. War is not cheap.

Russia, or any country for that matter, cannot simply build a new weapon. No one, not even Russia, know how long this war will last. Sure, Russia can start designing a new missile, but that would take resources away from the war and the hope to end it soon in Russia's favor. It will take literally yrs for Russia to field a new missile. In a war, you go and fight with what you got, and currently, things are not going well for Russia.those cruise missiles are long range and expensive , Russia must build a smaller version with shorter range of 500-600km that can be fired from Ukraine border from flankers.
The approach in Afghanistan was not one of wokeness by the military but by deliberate design of the Neo-cons at the time to re-draw the influence map of the region (thank Paul Wolfwoitz, John Boulton and rest of the clowns for that) that included Afghanistan and Iraq. . That for some reason US should dominate in South Asia and the overall influence of putting the countries in its pocket was a goal (similar to how Saudi Arabia and other surrounding countries were in US sphere of influence). The tactics that worked in Saudi Arabia (influence the kings and corrupt rulers) was not going to work in Afghanistan or Iraq for that matter.US brought Imperial Japan to its knees by wiping out Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo. Japanese leadership witnessed entire cities being erased and decided to give up. American troops arrived in Japan without having the need to fight costly battles and facing Japanese insurgency. This is the impact of strategic bombing.
Even in Vietnam, Operation Linebacker II in 1972 showed that Vietcong could be defeated: Vietcong suffered heavy losses and its mission to retake South Vietnam was delayed by 3 years. Vietcong came to the negotiation table but Nixon administration demanded one thing - withdrawal of American troops without incident. Vietcong was like this is it? Tears of joy....
Of-course, you need political will and boots on the ground to seize on the gains provided by strategic bombing missions to settle a war on acceptable terms like a winner.
But Americans have become too woke to fight like a side that should be feared as witnessed in Afghanistan.

Democrats vs. the military: wokeness won't win wars and keep America safe
Our military is declining, thanks in part to Democrats' woke obsessions, which put identity politics above cohesion and smear America as not worth fighting for.www.foxnews.com
Even in Iraq, US-led forces had to conduct a large number of operations to overcome Iraqi insurgency phases and to reshape political landscape of the country.
The Theory of Limited War is a costly method with subpar outcomes.
what platform are Storm Shadows can they be used for...those cruise missiles are long range and expensive , Russia must build a smaller version with shorter range of 500-600km that can be fired from Ukraine border from flankers.
