For Russia, six months of war have led not only to colossal irreplaceable losses in manpower, but also to a huge waste of weapons and military equipment: guided missiles are already very scarce, shells for artillery and armored vehicles will be exhausted by the end of the year, and the state of military aviation precludes a full-scale air campaign. Because of the sanctions, Russia cannot continue full industrial production of weapons and replenish its arms stockpiles, which are rapidly running out.

 

Quote

It is also noteworthy that, apparently, in an attempt to improve the efficiency of the munitions industry, at the turn of the 2010-2020s it was decided to combine under one roof the enterprises owned by state corporations and those owned directly by the state. The Tekhnodinamika Concern, controlled by the Rostech State Corporation, served as such a roof. Tekhnomash, another Rostech conglomerate specializing in munitions, also joined the concern. However, the organizational transformations and consolidation of financial flows did not lead to any changes in quality. For example, Tekhnodinamika's labor productivity in terms of revenues is about 2.3 million rubles a year (less than $32,000), which is about 9-10 times lower than that of American munitions manufacturers. In Russia's political-economic and technological environment, it is only possible to increase productivity by drastically increasing manpower, which is practically impossible, given the aforementioned personnel shortage and the overall demographic situation.

Thus, being cut off from supplies of Western equipment, spare parts and materials and simultaneously limited in human capital and labor productivity, Russian artillery and munitions manufacturers will inevitably face production cuts rather than stagnation in the foreseeable future. It is possible that in 2022-2023 they will still be able to maintain the rate of production reached over the previous years, but then a decline is inevitable. The previously purchased equipment will be maintained and repaired as much as possible, but the volume and quality of production will start to decline. In essence this means a transition from mass industrial production to manual labor.

Quote

And even if we assume that Russian soldiers do not neglect maintenance procedures for barrels and other gun mechanisms, and that Russia has an unknown, but not an infinite, number of them in reserve (especially on guns from storage depots), by the end of 2022 wear and tear of artillery will lead to a drastic reduction in its effectiveness. In addition, the Russian military itself cautiously pointed out problems with the survivability of artillery pieces as early as 2020, as well as insufficient efficiency of the field maintenance and repair system for artillery pieces.

It turns out that the expected shell shortage should coincide with a growing shortage of artillery pieces themselves. In this regard, it is not surprising that Russia has started striking Ukrainian cities with S-300 and S-400 air defense/anti-missile systems, a regular practice that began at least five years ago. However, munitions for the corresponding systems are measured in thousands or, at most, tens of thousands, but not in hundreds of thousands, much less millions.

OMG. Wtf 

 

Was just coming to post this. He was in a hospital with heart problems and depression and fell out a window. LukOil was the only major corporation to call for an end to the war publicly.

Russian hospitals,jails, and police stations have windows that just pop open when you least expect it.

I wonder if they have more HIMARS than we and they have let on.

 

How many M270s do they have?

I was thinking about this earlier.  If the UKA can take and hold Kherson and Nova Khakova before hard winter sets in, they’ll have the supply lines and ability to hit and interdict most incoming reinforcements and positions in Crimea.  And the Russians may not have enough missiles and artillery to dislodge them. If they managed to take out the Kerch bridge somehow, then it’s over for the Russians in Crimea. They’ve shown they can hit naval assets that come too close.

That's fake, right?

At a glance on my phone I immediately assumed it was a photoshop of The Usual Suspects, but maybe just life imitating art.

A list of 19 pro-Russian politicians and defectors who were either killed or suffered from assassination attempts in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Follow it up with this - killing or making the Russian/pro-Russian officials flee has got to be making life harder on the Russian troops who are busy enough with Special Military Operations.

Does Surly have stickers? Because for $120 we can get one put on an artillery shell to be launched at the Russians.

They are with the Surly cups. Should get them sometime in 2024.

President Fidgety is back.

 

A big burly man from came up to me on the street in Moscow.  He had tears in his eyes.  "Sir! Sir! Do you know that there are children in the Donbas who don't know that the bridge to Crimea exists?  Who don't even know that Ukraine and Russia are part of a united country??" This has happened many times.  I am not even making this up.
