Sirian refinaries, WWII German and Japanese refinaries, were valid military targets for the US.
But not Ruzzian refineries?
Do I miss something? ๐ค
@Flash_news_ua
The accuracy of a cannon is of high importance, you can burn the battery or empty your supply hitting nothing if you donโt master it.
UAF artillery kills is today 5x or more better than the Ruzzian
Losing a battery director is like losing a pilot ๐คซ

@MMouse44073558
UAF figures match several other sources.
For example the verifiable vehicle loses keep a correlation of about 50%. Russia itself admitted 30k new recruits every month. Reduction of tank inventories match the loses, Russia production is only ~3 per month and loss ~20 a day
@Gerashchenko_en
The fact is that Russia canโt keep with barrel rotation (recommend after 4000 rounds), in practice Russia shots 3x of Ukraine with 10x less accuracy
Result: Ukrainian artillery gets 3x more kills today than Russian counterpart, and the gap keeps growing ๐คซ
@randymot4
In men they can replace, what quality donโt know.
Equipment impossible. They can refurbished old tanks and armoured vehicles and still can bring another 3000 back from scrap.
But cannon barrels they have lost almost all 13000 in 600 days and can produce less than a 1000 a year.๐คซ
@victoriaslog
@OckersM
4.4M rounds is equivalent to 1100 barrels.
Can Ruzzia & NK produce those barrels? They already los some 7000+ and the 6000 remaining are in very bad shape. ๐คซ

China's exports to Uzbekistan in 2023 were up 150% from pre-COVID levels in 2019. This surge in Chinese exports isn't about some Uzbek growth miracle. Growth in 2024 is forecast by the IMF around 5%, the same as in 2019. Uzbekistan is part of the transshipment racket to Russia...
Blinken said Ukraine is free to use US weapons wherever they want.
This quickly provoked a flurry of statements by US government spokespeople, all stating that the US wants its weapons to be used on Ukranian territory.
Why?

Ukraine has so much courage, but so few weapons and air defense. NATO has so many weapons and so little courage.

Despite what Sec. Blinken said in Kyiv, the Pentagon says that the US-provided weapons should be used on the battlefield within UKR territory (Blinken said the US doesn't encourage strikes in Russia but it's up to UKR.) I asked whether this was a request or a binding condition.

๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ President Biden: "We're not authorizing strikes 200 miles into Russia."
Why not? Russia is free to strike anything, anywhere in Ukraine. How does Ukraine survive without the ability to fully retaliate in kind? How does this restriction make any sense?
Us has failed to protect Ukraine; 3500 glide bombs per month; only shooting down the bombers and its airfields will protect civilians.
What a shame
