Seems like Ukraine is hitting targets with greater frequency than before.
Anyone have thoughts on if it's increased Ukrainian skill/technology, increased Ukrainian quantity of weapons being sent, decrease in quantity of Russian anti-air defenses, Ukraine hitting 'softer' targets, combination of those, or something else?
Perun (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EHUQmJCa3aY) just released a video yesterday that went over Ukraine's war material situation.
TLDW: Ukrainian military equipment is for the most part qualitatively better than it was at the start of the war but not quantitatively.
Russia on the other hand is qualitatively worse, is running out of reserve war equipment (Soviet stockpiles), and is expected to deplete some of categories of equipment sometime in 2024 (tank stockpile source: Covert Cabal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K8CcuVCDEUw).
Edit: some spelling mistakes.
Voyager shows it, if you click on their username.
I had to pause it and step through the last second when time slows to see it.
Based on the steam page it seems like no man's sky gameplay (possibly others in the genre, but I'm only familiar with no man's sky).
My understanding is that mortgage rate also plays a role in housing prices. So it would be a nice addition if they added average mortgage rate on the same graph or had another graph with total cost for buying a house with a 30 year mortgage.
One aspect of the Canadian military I didn't see discussed in the article is how much more Canada pays per piece of equipment compared to other countries. If i recall correctly, changes there could see a 2-3x increase in quantity of material for the same price and quality (Canada overpaying by 2-3x what other countries [US, EU, Aus] pay for the same type and quality of equipment).
Perun (Australian miltary industry blogger) did a long video about Canada's military and it's issues:
True, but based on their recent loss rates (they would have about a year left of supply for both and 4 months for artillery systems), plus their general MO and battlefield "strategy", and it seems to me more likely to be weather related.
Based on the number of tanks and Armoured vehicles it looks like the mud season may have taken full effect.
My understanding is that lot of "herbivores" are opportunistic carnivores.
I thought they were wolves or dogs when I first watched it, but you might be right about sheep.
It seems like they are running out of time.
They are running low on war material and are basically going from factory to front, but their production rate is 1/10 of their loss rate. We've already seen drops in losses (like artillery systems) compared to months ago, as they don't have replacements, and have to lower the quantity they use.
Their economy is imploding (interest rates just hit 20%). The non-defense industry can't pay for their loans and 1/3 of companies are at risk of bankruptcy in the next 6 months. But they can't stop the war or their economy (held up by defense industry) will crater into a deep recession.
Their population is indifferent to the war, and doesn't want to sacrifice more to help fight it. So unlikely to accept another mobilization or increased hardships.
And Ukraine just got approval to use foreign weapons in Russia.
So, yeah, Russia is probably a bit stressed at the moment.
I have trouble figuring out what the words are supposed to sound like. I can guess the pronunciation a few different ways. Ex. Ko-ear-a, ko-i-ra, ko-jeer-a, koj-era, koj-i-ra, etc.
Is it possible to add phonetic pronunciations to the posts?
