  • A lot higher than we expected’: Russian arms production worries Europe’s planners

    https://archive.is/20240215164219/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/15/rate-of-russian-military-production-worries-european-war-planners

    As Ukraine has scrambled to source ammunition, arms and equipment for its defence, Russia has presided over a massive ramping up of industrial production over the last two years that has outstripped what many western defence planners expected when Vladimir Putin launched his invasion.

    As Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its third year, the massive Russian investment in the military, projected this year to be the largest as a share of GDP since the Soviet Union, has worried European war planners, who have said Nato underestimated Russia’s ability to sustain a long-term war.

    A tale as old as time: Smug Europeans with planet-sized hubris decide to poke the bear and find out the hard way.

  • Don't worry guys, Russia constructed the satellite out of washing machine chips, so it's low quality and will break apart before it fires.

    Don't worry guys, Russia's nukes don't work, so the satellite is only armed with a giant shovel.

    Don't worry guys, Russia ran out of rockets (and missiles) so Putin had to personally carry the satellite up into space using a comically long ladder, and that took him approximately 2 years, so they aren't gonna put up a second one there anytime soon.
