Probably not, but that's just one more example of their growing incompetence.Do you think they care?

The Russian firepower is pretty much a pile of shit because they throw more explosives but everywhere, while NATO throws just what it needs precisely on the top of its targets.Before this war people talk about how Russia heavy firepower will decimate Ukraine and just Smerch alone can win this war. So is the infamous Russian firepower way less effective than it should have been because they certainly use Smerch in Ukraine.
Which, as I've noted before, has to do with how they've built their army. It's not an army meant for war, it's meant to bully. So it looks menacing on parade excels at smashing up civilian buildings at random in terror campaigns, but doesn't do well against any force that can actually fight back.The Russian firepower is pretty much a pile of shit because they throw more explosives but everywhere, while NATO throws just what it needs precisely on the top of its targets.
A little Update...
As i woke up a bit ago, the guy on the Radio reported that Germany wants to deliver Gepard to Ukraine.
Thinking that this mus be some kind of Joke, several Newsstation also confirming this.
It's more 'welp, the Krauts are finally delivering heavy equipment, must be a joke'.I dunno, man. Might be good to swat the Russian jets and helicopters. Beggars can't be choosers.

Also because Russian firepower has a huge number of dud warheads.The Russian firepower is pretty much a pile of shit because they throw more explosives but everywhere, while NATO throws just what it needs precisely on the top of its targets.
WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) - The United States assesses that Russia is suffering failure rates as high as 60% for some of the precision-guided missiles it is using to attack Ukraine, three U.S. officials with knowledge of the intelligence told Reuters.
The disclosure could help explain why Russia has failed to achieve what most could consider basic objectives since its invasion a month ago, such as neutralizing Ukraine's air force, despite the apparent strength of its military against Ukraine's much smaller armed forces.
So they are not only flinging ordnance around indiscriminately, but it often doesn't even work. Which just makes their efforts that much more inefficient. And now that they are up against an opponent large and strong enough to put up a serious fight that inefficiency is hurting them badly.Citing U.S. intelligence, three U.S. officials said the United States estimated that Russia's failure rate varied day-to-day, depended on the type of missile being launched, and could sometimes exceed 50%. Two of them said it reached as high as 60%.
One of the officials said the intelligence showed that Russia's air-launched cruise missiles had a failure rate in the 20 to 60% range, depending on the day.
Doesn't mean they won't try though ...So even with all the recent stuff regarding Transnistria I can't imagine they being able to push anywhere since Ukrainian force in the west hasn't engage yet.
The think is Ukraine can't counter attack into Transnistria because it will technically violating Moldova territory so they will be quite a nuisance.Doesn't mean they won't try though ...
Even if only because the whole op have been planned before war as usual, but they forgot to cancel it, when the situation changed (because you know, the responsible people got arrested, lol)
Maaaybe. In the other hand nothing stops them to trash the Russian positions in Transnistria or the local military if it gets ideas with artillery, then seal off the border. Transnistria has no strategic depth, sometimes not even tactical. They also have minimal heavy gear, most of it obsolete.The think is Ukraine can't counter attack into Transnistria because it will technically violating Moldova territory so they will be quite a nuisance.
ALOT of Russian Ammo and missiles are Soviet remnants.Also because Russian firepower has a huge number of dud warheads.

no idea. But cutting off Bulgaria is funny, as they are the only EU country besides Hungary to consistently deny any lethal support to Ukraine.is this blackmail or is the system knocked out inside russia?

They're attempting to change the terms of the contracts they've signed, which involve payment in euros or dollars. The thing is, winter is over and their hand isn't anywhere near as strong as they delude themselves into thinking, especially as the infrastructure isn't there for Russia to fully switch customers and it definitely needs the non-Monopoly currencies to buy what it needs from abroad (aka pretty much everything).Are they refusing to supply gas at all?
Or just refusing to supply it for free?
They want payment for it - in rubles.
The contracts set the payment in Euro or USD, Russia unilaterally changing the accepted currency is a breach of contract, and everyone except Hungary have been balked on it. With the caveat that Hungary still pays in Euro and it's the non sanctioned Gazprombank that does the actual exchange to rubles domestically in Russia.Are they refusing to supply gas at all?
