Things Are Going Swimmingly

 

I am not going to say, one way or the other, but the YouTube recommended channels that are covering the war in Ukraine are sure upbeat that the end is near for Russia and Putin.

Call me cynical, but I seem to remember this kind of upbeat messaging before.

But this time there's an interesting side thread from the guys who are keeping track of Russia's tank storage depots.  They're getting pretty damn empty.

Production of new tanks, recovery and repair of damaged tanks and refurbishment of stored tanks isn't keeping up with losses, it seems.

And it isn't just tanks disappearing from these depots.  Infantry combat vehicles and self propelled guns are being consumed as well.

It's a war of attrition and Russia seems to be suffering more attrition, or at least looks to be running out of stuff fast enough that they will run out before Ukraine does.

This will be really bad for Russia, they have more than one enemy across their vast borders who might just take advantage of their inability to defend them. 

Or it's Ukrainian propaganda...
