They'll be expecting something halfway decent and then get equipment that's 50 years old at best.  But these NK troops aren't valued at all, so they'll be used in meat waves to exhaust ukraine so that the Russians can move in and destroy them.  That's the idea lol, but it won't happen.  

The real kicker is when the Russians use the shitty NK tanks because they don't have anything better.  They'll have to use tanks made for short people lmao, that won't be effective.  The loaders won't be able to load shells as fast and everyone will have a more difficult time.  Many of their heads will be right at the ceiling, well what happens when a drone hits it? Greater risk of brain damage.  

I know that there is a lot of criticism for musk on here but to be fair, his Starlink system is one of the reasons that Ukraine is winning. Elon Musk could cut Ukraine off if he wanted, but he hasn't. He is truly ammoral, morally neutral. If I was playing D&D using musk as a character base, he'd be a lawful neutral.

Pentagon will buy Starlink terminals for Ukraine that Elon Musk won't be able to disconnect – NYT | Ukrainska Pravda

Can thank US Military/Pentagon for that

Space X is largely propped up by the US Government so anything Musk does to seriously piss them off could literally tank his entire company considering how much he receives in subsidiaries, government contracts, both space and military. So it's more like Musk literally can't, with Pentagon buying them on behalf of Ukraine and with SpaceX's life in the hands of the US Government.

I was going to make a joke that it will only improve Russian soldiers performance because they'll finally be sober but you're right about those withdrawal symptoms

ok. Yeah, definitely.  Like i just said, he's a true neutral kind of guy that has no guiding principles beyond dollar bills to guide him.  It's disheartening how people will do anything for money.  

I wonder if things will return to normal once Putin leaves office.  It's like we are in this bizarre alternate universe or something where the people you'd trust most such as american business leaders and ex-presidents are getting paid off for sympathy to Russia.   

Possible cyberattack ( or malfunction of sensors), results in a plume of filth shooting upwards of many stories high. Basically it sounds like the sensors thought that pressure of sewage built up dangerously high, and so it released it, showering the wonderful city with disease.

In Russia, shit flushes you.

Pretty sure NK has still has some of these somewhere as leftovers from the Korean war anyway.

Also, modern rifles are weaker than those of WW2 (Full-powered cartridges like the 7.92 IS are way to strong (about 3.5 times as much as a 5.56 NATO) to be fired controllably under full auto in a handheld situation), and they had armor-piercing ammunition back then too. So if those couldn't punch through the hulls, then modern assault rifles can't do it either.

Russia may be losing 1300-2200 troops per day, or 40-65,000 troops per month. but they're winning battles conquering an average of 28 square kilometres per month.

You can't deny the Kremlin's victories.

The Kremlin likely only needs to win another dozen such victories before the Russian army is utterly ruined.
