Assuming we can believe what’s posted on Chinese social media; in this case I think we can.
Russia is running low on men, if hiring myriad of mercenaries is any indication. He paints a clear picture of the disadvantages (language barriers, no “brothers in arms” cohesion).
But these are not necessarily indicative of Russia losing the war. China has millions it can send to help and Russia has closed the borders to stop its own young men from fleeing.
Someone not me who has been in actual combat tell me if this is true: Drones are a game changer. I’ve seen camera footage from drones as they detect men or tanks, target and kill. Death from a soulless robot from above. Small and agile, unlike manned aircraft, harder to target with anti-aircraft weapons before it drops its load or suicides into you? And cheap as hell compared to other means of aerial attack. The technology will probably rapidly get better to make them even more deadly.
Russia isn’t going to be defeated. Nor will she just stop. As long as the U.S. pumps resources into Ukraine this will go on indefinitely. Yes Russia has a manpower problem but so does Ukraine. Both sides will send men to die until none are left, then they’ll keep paying ever more mercenaries or worse, get their allies directly involved: Russia-China vs Ukraine-USA/NATO. Great.
We need Trump in office to tell these two to knock it off.
