Now this is just funny. Before you is a country the size of Germany and Britain combined (or “bigger than France”), with millions of inhabitants, producing metal on par with world leaders, and chemistry — like half the Union.
It has a closed production cycle for tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, radars, and anti-ship missiles.
At the time of the invasion, it had a separate missile brigade and a heavy artillery brigade. 40 air defense divisions and nearly a hundred aircraft.
And behind it are the largest economies of the world like the Czech Republic, which managed to find and organize millions of shells with EU funds. 4.4 million boars according to the latest data.
It produces drones domestically and buys them from a coalition of drones from two dozen countries.
And you, driving human waves on quads and barbecued T-55s, lose an army corps killed and wounded every month. A corps is 30,000 people. Plus some more sick, frostbitten, those who fled to the Unauthorized Absence and were beaten there by “headhunters,” and they themselves are shot by the deserter’s brother — Tarantino cried when he read about Ektov.
But not that country. Yes. If only to attack the EU! There, yes — scale, level! But here — “not that country.”
We are witnessing an experiment on how television and special “Simonians” teaching how to die correctly for budget money have softened the brains of a huge country that was so proud of its education.
You can’t, you can’t consume your own propaganda. It’s feed for workhorses. But here you get exactly what you wanted. If you really wanted Avdiivka ruins at the cost of hundreds of thousands of cripples because you had too few such “Avdiivkas” of your own, then there’s nothing you can do. This dish is served just like that.
