On February 25, I published a piece of the Russian Ministry of Defense report with their hallucinations about the losses of equipment by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. You know, the one where 670 planes were shot down and tens of thousands of artillery pieces were sunk.
And what do you think? It’s been a month – and it’s like it never happened. The Russians have stopped flaunting the summary picture.
Now they inform that aviation, missile forces, and drone strikes have successfully hit targets in 140-150 areas daily. And 3-4 times a day, they provide a summary of downed drones.
Combined with information about some land audits, this indicates that in March, the Russian Ministry of Defense and General Staff announced a month of return to reality. Apparently, they decided to assess the situation more thoroughly on the eve of the spring activation.
The reality in some areas turned out to be monstrous. Because the scale of lying in the Russian army is truly impressive.
We know that we also have problems, but we are infinitely far from the Russians.
Sharpening the focus by the enemy and addressing their weak points is bad.
On the other hand, more or less objective data about the state of affairs cannot but push reasonable people in the Russian Ministry of Defense leadership to conclusions that they need to flee Ukraine under a plausible pretext. Declare victory, reward the uninvolved, and flee.
Because the next return to reality may not be survivable.
