That was the most excruciating and anxiety inducing video on YouTube. That clicking sound she was making was the worst. But reading the comments, people find this relaxing and make them go to sleep? FFS

Fark. That was worse!!! But the comments suggest some people love it and can fall asleep to it. The constant clicking sound she’s making.
The only thing worse would be her talking and watching one of those people climbing up on top of one of those flimsy radio antennas on top of a building. I hate that ■■■■.

Loss data. Junk unupgraded T-80s now almost all of the fleet, with the upgraded BVM models flowing in at a fraction of the loss rate, enough to maintain numbers. The middle tier T-80Us are all dead.
Similar story with the BMP. The BMP-2 is heading towards extinction. The BMP-3 is being produced at a rate enough to replace losses, but the BMP-1 junk from the 60s is now the predominant infantry transport.

Something to note about the Stormshadow attack. It penetrated Russia’s best air defence system, protecting their most important naval base. And it used 10 of the 500-1000 missiles from the UK stockpile. Also, the missile is about to be retired and replaced with something new because it is so old and the performance can be improved.
So… yeah… this could get a whole lot worse for Russia if NATO actually tried.

“IF NATO actually tried”.
Thousands of people are dying and billions being squandered because NATO is more interested in PR/weapons testing than actually trying.
