    Massive swell of people to make any progress to have something to campaign with for Putin’s re-election. Ukraine has been generally running low on artillery and can’t fully capitalize on countering large unit offenses. The Ukrainians have a lot of western equipment but are low on funds to supply them.

      You can’t reload Western equipment with funds, and the West’s ammunition production capacity has proven to be lacking compared to Russia’s.

          and on top of sourcing ammunition from DPRK, Russia now has a massive advantage over the west in being able to produce it domestically as well https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/15/rate-of-russian-military-production-worries-european-war-planners

        Hahahahaha, good joke. Well, I suppose it’s true, if you think of rusty nails and pellets as being “ammunition”.
