I am seeing stories of conscripts that we're looking for food and that their meals ready to eat had an expiry date of 2015. Not sure what to believe on the propaganda front but I did see a video showing a mobile air defense system that was abandoned. We're talking like a 15 ton vehicle with a command-and-control cab and surface-to-air missiles and the tires look like they could deflate so they could drive cross-country in the worst muddy conditions just abandoned and it had a Ukrainian flag put on it. Now this picture I do believe of a Downed Russian helicopter. I have seen the video of this one with the photographer actually going into the cockpit and showing details of the cockpit sewing seat belts, but digital screen and it all looks intact

Interesting share LTC (Join to see). Whatever the outcome, the Russians have vastly underperformed against an outgunned Ukrainian Army in my opinion. They were expecting that the Ukrainian Army (UA) would just lay down like Georgia did in the 2008 War. This clearly did not happen & the UA have battled their much stronger opponents from a "home field" advantage. Ukraine has many advantages from fighting on their turf & many informants who are reporting on Russia's movements I'm sure.
However the Russians won't likely give up their aims of toppling Zelensky & installing their own government in my opinion Putin can't lose this war and keep his job & stranglehold on power (or even possibly his life). He's reportedly worth somewhere between 90-200 billion dollars & will likely try and escape to some other despot's protection if he feels vulnerable to be taken out (Venezuela, Cuba, etc.).
