Does Russia have enough tanks to make it to 2025?

They can’t keep up production to match their losses, and sanctions are hurting them, so I’m guessing no.  The fact that they are fielding export variants means things are bad (export variants are usually lesser quality).  I’m guessing they’ll be fielding lots of T-6x series.

Using export variants also means that they aren’t getting paid for selling those export variants.

Ukraine has had a corruption problem for decades. I see an article, like this, as a sign it is working to fix it. However, it is likely to be thrown in the face of supporters of Ukrainian freedom.

Damn @Schulz2.0, that article was brutal

While India keeps the massive inflow of Russian oil, it pivots away from Russian arms and to Western technology as well as to domestically manufactured arms. "We are not likely to sign any major military deal with Russia," said Nandan Unnikrishnan, a Russia expert at New Delhi think tank the Observer Research Foundation.

This is the 2nd major bad news for Russia. Another unresolved issue is the huge amounts of Indian Rupees, which Russia has accumulated from the oil and gas sales. India pays only with its own currency which is not freely convertible and is stored in Indian banks. India's restrictions over capital flows make it impossible to transmit the money back to Russia.

In fact, 1 billion USD in Rupees come each month on top of the pile which are vastly useless for Moscow, while India makes a huge profit on the world market.

India offered that the money is invested in Indian infrastructure where Russian construction companies can participate, but that would contribute nothing to Russia's short term needs and even less to Russia's war industry.

India has Moscow completely where it wants it to be. Hence, it is only understandable that India keeps that Russian oil inflow intact and pretends to have "good ties".

This instance shows vividly how dependent Russia has become. The Russian babbling of the "Global South" along its posturing is less enticing when the Potemkin covers have been kicked away. It is no different with China where Russia's dependency is increasing with even bigger paces. Superior powers can cheaply buy Russian gas with their own currency and with strings attached to Russia.

History has coined entities like Russia where this kind of one-sided "agreement" has been established with one term:

Vassal states

Ukraine: Hack wiped 2 petabytes of data from Russian research center

The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka "planeta" (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.

Planeta is a state research center using space satellite data and ground sources like radars and stations to provide information and accurate predictions about weather, climate, natural disasters, extreme phenomena, and volcanic monitoring.

The agency is affiliated with Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, and it supports sectors such as the military, civil aviation, agriculture, and maritime.

In another case of state-affiliated hacking, Ukraine says cyber volunteers known as the "BO Team" successfully breached Planeta's Far Eastern branch (the largest of the three).

While the Ukrainian government does not state if they were involved in the attack, they claim the hackers destroyed 280 servers used by the research center, which held 2 petabytes of data (2000 terabytes).

This massive volume of information would be difficult and costly to store in backups, so if Ukraine's claims are true, this is a catastrophic attack on Planeta.

The Ukrainian intelligence service says the damage from the data loss is estimated to be $10,000,000, impacting the operation of supercomputer clusters and also years of research.

"Among the destroyed data are meteorological and satellite data, which were actively used in constant mode by the Ministry of Defense and MNS RF, "Roscosmos," and several other state agencies-aggressors, as well as years of unique research," reads the announcement (machine translated).

"The work of supercomputers equipped in the research center is paralyzed and cannot be fully restored."

The Ukrainians emphasize that given the sanction-imposed constraints, which severely limit Russia's capacity to restore sophisticated computer systems and software, this incident represents a formidable challenge for the research center to overcome.

In addition to the above, the cyberattack allegedly paralyzed all HVAC and power supply systems in Planeta's main building and cut off the station based on the island of Bolshevik from the network.

BleepingComputer has contacted the Far Eastern branch of "Planeta" requesting a statement on the Ukrainian allegations, but we have not received a response.

Attacks like these, which are promoted, if not sponsored, by the Ukrainian government, aren't unprecedented, as it has admitted to performing operations in previous months aiming to sabotage crucial agencies in Russia.

In November last year, Ukraine's intelligence service hacked Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency, 'Rosaviatsia,' and leaked files exposing a state of collapse of the country's aviation sector.

Later, in December, the Ukrainians claimed a breach of the Russian Federal Taxation Service (FNS), wiping the agency's database and backup copies.

Wow that makes me feel so much better about the game India is playing. Holy shit they’ve effectively stolen how many billions of dollars of oil from Russia? 

And presumably it’s another example of Russian incompetence leaving all that data on a network that could be accessed purely remotely. 

Ukraine may not be winning this war yet but Russia is sure as shit losing

Could be a sign they're going to move toward more unconventional tactics to attack Russia. Possibly compounded by the drop in supplies provided by the US and Europe.

now, an official denial

 

 

Or, more likely, another russian propaganda artist since they're a brand new member and their first two posts happen to be this thread.
Maybe we can ask for a minimum post count before people can post on this thread.

The Shitbird order bank is 7 years out?  Noice

And the 1,000th F-35 just rolled off the assembly line.  Meanwhile the Russians have rolled 22 Su-57’s off their assembly line…

Quote

Serial production of the aircraft began in July 2019, with the first production aircraft scheduled to be delivered by the end of the year; following the crash of the first production aircraft, the Russian Aerospace Forces took delivery of the second Su-57 as its first aircraft in December 2020. By May 2022, four more aircraft were delivered, and production has progressed slower than planned

Includes a long parts and service contract.  And Tru Coat.

The salesteam had to go check with their manager, and they don't normally do this, but they got the Tru Coat thrown in for free if they were willing to commit to the order that day.

14,000,000,000 for 24 jets? That comes to $583M per plane. Seems expensive.

Looking elsewhere, F-35As for the Air Force is < $100M. Higher for export models, but not anywhere close to $583M per unit.

 

 

I guess I shouldn't be too upset with the cost of a new car these days.

I'd assume the purchase isn't just the jets but all of the ammo and support materials as well. 

Like million dollar ball bearings and antifreeze.
