In Ukraine there is additional evidence of Russian shortages as dead Russian soldiers are found alongside their 1890s vintage Mosin-Nagant rifles. Since over 39 million of these rifles were produced between 1891 and 1973, millions of them are still in use and many are being issued to Russian soldiers sent to Ukraine.
How the bloody hell could the Russians run out of Kalashnikovs? And SkS carbines? Didn't they make tens of millions of them?

ReplyDeleteSounds like they are running out of mothballed tanks. And still no F-16's in the theater.
Just a wild guess, but maybe just perhaps those in charge of them sold them and pocketed the money. Which is exactly what anyone TOFF put in charge of the military would do. Need a nuke? Here you go. Just deposit the crypto into my account. They're not jizzing their pants over Russia for nothing.
ReplyDeletePutin, unlike Trump, didn't have a general come up to him and say with tears in his eyes,"Sir, we don't have rifles that are any newer than a 19th century design. And if we invade another country, we will have to use really old rifles or pointy sticks."
