Not sure what your point is, Russians are using d-20s also ww2 era weapons as well as old trucks and rocket launchers from ww2. My fav is the use of nagants and maxim machine guns.
You use what you have. I do find it fascinating that the same usuals who said Russia had unlimited ammo and equipment are silent about Russia going from second largest weapons exporter to net importer of weapons.
Don’t worry after months russia took a town the size of Mayberry
Are Russian egg prices still slightly elevated?
Is there still a greater chance of Russian civilian aircraft failures due to resources going to the military?
Are Russians still using shovels in these Battles because they are running out of military equipment?
( the above are actual articles published in the MSM)
If any of the above ate it true than Ukraine is obviously winning
It takes a special kind of stupid to march into a Russian Meatgrinder wearing a tin hat, while pushing 80-year-old equipment to the front. But this is the American business model; give the Ukes our old equipment while replenishing our stockpiles with new stuff. Oh, and about those F-16 The Zelensky was crying about a while back? Forgedaboudit.
Russians making big gains for the last 2 months since the fall of Adivka.
Ukraine make an allegation Russia used “chemical poisons”.
Excess lead intake IS a poison. :-)
Zelensky is smoking you out Zeepers. Do your duty and enlist. He needs more dyin’ to keep those US taxpayer dollars flowing. His wife needs another Paris shopping spree. Have a heart.

I know how the elites in Washington feel about the war. And how the elites in Ukraine and Russia feel. The ‘elites’ have made their positions known.
Might be time to try something new and do a highly supervised vote and see how the people of Ukraine feel. I’m guessing there are regions that would rather be a part of Russia and regions that want to ‘stay Ukraine’... or maybe not.
Those public choices might be an incentive for corrupt countries to clean up their acts - get ‘their people’ behind them. Our country is divided so we can afford to have a little sympathy and understanding here.
Wondering about when US cargo planes land in the Ukraine with pallets of cash, will Russian troops be there to welcome them?
On second thought probably not ... not unless the FJB crime family has kickback agreements with Putin similar to the arrangements with Ukraine.
Where is UMCReverendMom? She will have a Stroke over this news.
There’s a huge morale problem with the Ukes. Their upper echelon are selling NATO weapons on the black market and making command decisions far from the front. Their only really effective attack weapons now are armed drones and small arms.
Meanwhile, the Russians are bearing down with air support, artillery, and then after, storm troopers. The Russians are telling them that if they surrender, they will be allowed to live.
If you’re an impressed 18 year old who was put on the front line after a week or so of training, why wouldn’t you flee or surrender? It’s not like you’re going to survive otherwise.
The breakthrough was caused by a UKR mistake - they allocated too much of their forces to another part of their line, The Russians saw that and took advantage of the weak spot.
However, the Orc troops lack armor and are vulnerable to being put into a pocket.
Make no mistake - this is because of Johnson and the rest of the commie Congress - Russia is preparing to stop playing “nice”....
Dont worry Kiev, another 60 billion will be approved in December. Fire at will
It was the M1A1 in WWII and became the M101 in 1962, I’ve used it and liked it a lot.
I just remembered something, I won a small competition at Ft. Sill hitting a moving target with the M101.
