The State of Russia's Defense Industry After Two Years of War and Sanctions 

😊

Especially nice to hear that from a Russian libtrd traitor who fantasizes about Russia breaking apart.

If you are helping yourself to cope, all is good. Keep going.

@@bardsamok9221 How unfortunately unfortunate that you can't come up with anything beyond "cope"

@@victorzvyagintsev1325 It's the correct word. Maybe you're trying so hard that you missed the rest of the sentence? Google: 'Coping mechanism'

I mostly agree with what everyone else has said.

You may want to also check out CFR, Hudson Institute, Aspen Institute, and then for respectable Russo-Ukraine coverage, there's Jake Broe, Artur Rehi, Anna From Ukraine, Ukraine Matters, Operator Starskey, etc.

Also ANYONE who has Fiona Hill as a guest...

@@GeoScorpion will do

The volunteering effort at drones and quad copters and those monthly production estimates was particularly startling.

Politicians ARE idiots!

Our federal budget now spends more on paying interest on national debt than defense spending. Our Politicians continue to win popularity by spending money we finance add on to that long term debt. U.S. dollar is approaching loosing reserve currency status. Time to shrink debt and federal government agencies. 65% of payroll are government sector jobs.. grow private business and industry not debt producing government.

😅😂😂😂 how? You ignoramus

Ukrainians can’t afford weapons. Most of its allies are taking out loans with interest to pay for Ukrainian aid. Russia really doesn’t have allies in the same context. They are paying for everything they receive.

Yes indeed well said

Thanks

Indeed, any talk about the Russian invasion is like group therapy. Rather spend energy to implement 100% sanctions on Russia and on any country or company dealing with Russia. That goes for China as well, we complain about China and their desire to increase their influence in the world, and we keep trading and manufacturing in China. Once China reverse engineers our products we complain about theft of intellectual property rights

I was about to watch and then I saw your comment. Thank you.

You're dealing with Washington apparatchiks, just as disgusting as the Kremlin ones.

Probably don't even speak or read Russian so can't even work from primary sources 🙄

No, but they know how to spell 'expert.' Most have actually been to Russia. Who is it that you think hasn't been to Russia?

By using those means, indicates Russia lacks armored vehicles to transport troops.

Why do nafo bootlickers cope so hard instead of having intelligent military tactics and strategy discussion?

​@@mylessalmon2569 Armoured vehicles = warfare Levy (trucks and other tps automobiles = transport It indicates that both sides are using stop gaps and preserving heavier equipment

@@kaloyan2090 They may not have the equipment. Russia is pulling from Soviet supplies which are dwindling. Russia cannot manufacture enough to replace their losses. Russia has turned to China for motorcycles and the 4-wheel drive carts.

​@@mylessalmon2569True. And North Korea for broken weapons and meat.

When reading what you said, I was like where is this going when i get to Iran, China and Russia with emphasis on Iran until it spun off... I thought you were going to the trade routes from the Indian Ocean/Pacific going through Iran instead of the Red Sea. That is something we should focus on.

You got that right , Somehow Putin , Has a person on the inside , Or just straight up bribed them , He is cooking the books The numbers Putin gave the IMF Are his numbers , And the numbers don't lie Russia has been in deficit spending For Two years , Something's Gotta giive Every legitimate economist Knows You cannot Spend more Then what you bring in For any left of time It can only produce catastropic Results The war is ripping putin a new asshole , Another? Well known economist Said a year ago Watch for this sign Is putin will raise Taxes On an economy That is teetering

Same with CCP-provided statistics.

The concept of being an expert on a country you’ve never lived in or understand the culture. We’ll see who breaks first, the west or east

Yeah. The us can easily support $100 trlion of.debt

? The 2nd largest Army in the World now occupies far less Ukrainian Land than it did in 2022.

do you get paid in potatoes and vodka?

​​@@roscoerosario6992 I'm a bot. any post against another just nato waaaar for freedom and democracy is obviously a bot.

... says the guy who posts mindless comments for RMB¥0.50 per comment... or because of budget cuts is it "two dimes" now? Do they even bother paying you, anymore? When was the last time you saw a paycheck? 🙄🤭

How would you know?

_“These expert [sic] have never spent any lenth [sic] of time in russia [sic]”_ Maria Snegovaya is a native Russian speaker who graduated with a BA in Economics and Finance *in Moscow* in 2005. She then worked as a Research Assistant for five years at the Higher School of Economics *in Moscow.*

@@crogeny Samuel Bendett also speaks fluent Russian, according to the web.

@@crogeny who cares, I'm still waiting for anything said about Russia since the first weeks of their attack on Ukraine to actually be factual. A lot of Russians they have, haven't been there in years and typical turncoats - you get people who hate their Country, history, people, government or all..., a lot of them in West. I've not watched this, nor will I, likely full of shit but I actually could be wrong but wouldn't be surprised if any facts they do spew are spun out of context to suit whatever picture their painting.

@@JosephGibson 'I'll carefully assess the validity of the content of this video by not watching it.' Thanks for your contribution.

So you are saying that the Soviet troops Afghanistan essentially were performing purely peaceful functions: building houses, hospitals, roads, and wells? Ah yes, the famous Soviet Hearts‐and‐Minds campaigns. The reality is that though both the U.S. and Soviet Union invested heavily in road construction there from 1950 through the Soviet invasion in 1980, Afghanistan still has the lowest density of paved roads in Central Asia

​@@charlesshaw223 Most of the infrastructure was destroyed during the Afghanistan war and Soviet intervention.

​@@kaloyan2090And millions of people destroyed.

The 30% love shitting in the forest with the bears! Then they ride home on the bear!🤣🤣 Could it be that you are underexposed?

After the 90s we lost all our Russian expertise. We have no clue when it comes to the place I've concluded. I think in general we were so enamoured by talk of the end of history and being something beyond a superpower that we lost our ability to perform analysis and conduct diplomacy etc. How many Russian and China experts do we probably have that can speak the language and read their media/journals/papers etc. Very few. If China had a US expert who couldn't speak English we would never stop laughing.

They begged North Korea recently because they needed more shells. They had massive stockpiles of 1970s tanks, thousands have been destroyed. They had to change to war economy because of losing massive amounts of resources in the field.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​@@trogdortpennypacker6160Multiple of these on the video speak fluent Russian. English is spoken ubiquitously around the world. Ruzzian, not so much. It's unimportant. Chinese speak English because they are clever at communication and business, they understand their trading partners which is wise. Countries that don't understand each other can often communicate well in English together. Soon Ruzzian language will be Chinese and Kazakh, because the clever Ruzzians leave for nice countries, or become meat waves. They import many replacements. Ruble is already tied to Yuan now, permanently. China also wants a land around Manchuria back, that's how things start. Kazakh, Dagestani.. Also recently India population no longer need to apply for Ruzz visas, to replace numbers. They can just go there. Also Tens of thousands of North Koreans recently. Very different country in 10 years! Ruzzian men are given to the Ukrainian fields.

@@bardsamok9221 They are at 7-8% of GDP on defence spending, although we say it is a war economy we were at 15% of GDP in the Korean War and at 45% in WWII. I agree they've turned up spending but war economy by any definition is wrong. We are at like a 7% deficit and the Russians are only running a 2% deficit. Doesn't scream war economy in my view, even though we use that narrative.

This business model creates unbelievable number of family's and personal tragedies 😢

If you’re fed up with “talk-fests” then why did you watch the video? Is anyone forcing you to watch CSIS and Times Radio content?

​@@crogenynobody forced him that's why he skimmed it 😂

with conditions... I wonder what they are.

​@@JosephGibsonNo Twitter after bedtime.

I'll answer below on separate posts

1 Percent that know they are at waaar with ukraine and not the us? The same percent that watch cnn

2. Why does russia care about life? The same reason the us didn't care about Iraq liffe. Many citizens in both countries

3. Do the russians know the west is trying regime change on them? Yep.

4b. Do the russians know the def count? No. But the cnn russians know it is over 50 million so far.

It is going to be funny when cnn reports that all the russian cities are evacuating and they tell americans to shelter in place. the drones will wiiiinnn ww3.

US had defence budget nearly 900 billions

The equipment the west gave Russia was why they were victorious against Germany.

The US defense budget is an economic disaster. in fact, it's a positive feedback system which will either spark a catastrophic war or break us economically.

Yes, if: - automobile factories, for instance, are retooled to produce simple tanks and aircraft - the labor force in the armaments industry is significantly expanded by the inclusion of women and minorities - supply chains are made more robust and less complex, relying heavily on domestic production and simple logistics networks - the governments play a direct and extensive role in financing and directing production.

You don't need a person to guide a bomb.

You just described their space program. 'To the moooon!'

2 more weeks

For some reason all sources are ukranian. Must be true, say the swammp

That's quite the imagination you have

It is ouija board, moron

Russian economy is booming 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Western defence industry is incapable of producing the correct weapons to fight a conflict. Which ultimately stems from corruption of these companies who undermine democracy. It doesn't help that US politics is considering a pathway for the socialist construct of the military. The military feeds you, houses you, makes your exercise and stay healthy. That sort of baseline failure of basic human function path wayed into decision making is a high degree of corruption based entirely on the networks they have created within this socialists construct.= And you see this very poor level of discipline, in terms of saying in your own lane, when it comes to things like accountability of war-crimes. Amount of American in Ukraine that say they don't take prisoners, basically admitting to murdering people who surrender. That level of "the rules don't apply to me" is seen within the defence sector and when your talking about commercial competition. Well enjoy your Chinese 6th gen jets... im sure many countries can't wait to get their hands on those AI wingmen to use in their own mass producted creations. Maybe drone swarms or soemthing aye? When can i expect to be able to find AI just lying around on the ground because its military based AI is disposable.

Wasn't worth the time, your analysis is trash

I'll sum up what you; just how much of our tax monies in the West is siphoned off by god knows who as it was in the Russian sphere? Yeah, we should be focusing more on our own backyard and investigating every single b*tch and d*ckhead enriching themselves at our expense.

Weird comment. The F117A was considered a successful aircraft overall and saw plenty of service in its lifetime from 1983 to 2008. Its talked about as as being one of the best light bombers ever. A total revolution over previous bombers that struggled particularly in the Vietnam theatre for example. F117 had a great mission success rate. That one got shot down by a lucky shot that was never repeated was not a big deal for the USAF. They just tweaked a few things and it was never shot down again.

​@@jonathanbowen3640 Id like to remind you that it was shot down in 1999, so yeah its shoot down was a big deal as within a decade the aircraft was considered obsolete. I think you fail to grasp the concept of losing one aircraft in combat, and losing compounding aircraft in combat and what kind of capabilities that gives your enemy. A good example of this is Iran with the RQ-170 drone, it wasn't shot down, they captured it fully intact. Inwhich they reversed engineered it now have a domestic product that is in use in Ukraine. You may have heard of the Shahed drone. Point i am getting at, is advanced research is NEVER considered disposable. It loss to the enemy is considered a political nightmare for policy makers as billions in research funds and handed over to your enemy. So when we consider AI controlled wingmen, well i would call it blatant corruption and international interference at the highest levels of research and development. Coming from either the defence complex themselves, or within public office putting forward buzz word capabilities or its both and the complex is full of traitors. I don't think you really grasp the whole concept of an AI piloted wingman in an atmosphere of jamming technology. Your not merely losing manufacturing secrets like the honeycomb structure of the F117. But the software, i don't think you really grasp the concept that American coders are subpar when considering their counterparts who have much less processing power and have to optimize their code a hell of a lot more. With hundreds of J-6 aircraft already set up as drones, a single AI windman that has the AI stolen could pilot an entire fleet of hundreds of obsolete fighter aircraft is swarm formations. Quantity has a quality of its own and you just handed the people with quantity a pilot that can fly anything, everything, at the same time. Has to be the dumbest conceptual thinking that has ever propagated within the defence industry. Even movies like Matrix and Terminator leaves questions like how did humanity lose air superiority? There is something seriously wrong in American. Personally i think its NAZI ideology within the Military, this sense of national identity with this leeching off the tax payer because they are lazy and entitled. They care more about themselves, then the nation and actively work to undermine both the country and its politics. All is pursuit of money and power. Not grasping the growing threat of China, Globalists, NWO and Climate Fanatics that want to see the oil producing giant that is the USA crumble and banned from the energy market.
