I don't think the West really wants Russia to descend into chaos. A severely battered military is the best bet. The country is already corrupt. I watched 1991 unfold.

I think the WH know its coming, and they dont want to be seen to have caused it, hence the slow supply to Ukr.

Oil their main commodity being flamable gives Ukraine a gift for taking russia to its knees. The oil targets being the real reason the west don't want them to have long range ballistic missiles. Well they have said it themsleves in so many words.
15 Apr 2024 — U.S. opposition to the refinery attacks has angered officials in Kyiv, who view the strikes as fair game given Russia's relentless attacks .
Plus US secretary thinks we can all be friends soon.

Its amazing the depth of Russian brain washing. In the US if there wasn't a Fox news and Elon I shudder to think.

This is a tough and embarrassing way to find out that the old Soviet doctrine or way they conduct warfare is outdated. But if corruption were not so rampant throughout the Russian armed forces, they would have been more effective. Training is everything.

If kamel toe gets in, I assume that more taxpayer dollars are going to that meat grinder, and Putin is increasingly more unstable with each new embarrassment from his armed forces.

Trump gets in; he says he will end that war on day one 🤔. So they get a reprieve to rebuild the war machine and fix what is broken (they might have to bring in consultants from Western nations🙄). But, you know...corruption, so 😉 😉.

They do have copies (at least some) of the weapons that we send to Ukraine and can develop countermeasures.

This election will be very interesting, just on how it may affect this war.

Just my two cents this Labor Day morning pre-coffee.

if you start with 10 tanks and 40 men.
20% are drunk, now you have 8 tanks
20% dont know left from right, front from back
You now have 6 tanks.
2 tanks wont start, because your crews sold the batteries to the local whorehouse.
You have 4 tanks.
The Ukies take out 2 of your tanks, and crews.
So you have 2 tanks.

Maintenance, logistics, training and motivation matter.

I cant see this lasting past the election, and from over here, not doing what Biden is(nt) doing would be a positive.

What Trump would do, who knows, one version was to hold peacetalks, with the threat of massive USA support, if Putin doesnt play ball. As to who gets or keeps what, who knows, but it would make Ukr taking Kursk logical, as a trading point, and a reason why they didnt tell Joe.
 
Ukrainian FPV drones have started using incendiary mixtures, the first data about them appeared on August 18 on the Soledar front line. It is unknown what models of drones and what suspension for spraying the mixture are used. Initially, it was assumed that a substance similar to napalm was sprayed, but at the moment, the composition of the incendiary mixture is not reported. It is known that the flammable mixture is difficult to extinguish.

Footage of a strike by a Russian FPV drone VT-40 Sudoplatov on a Ukrainian M577 command vehicle. The video was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia. The M577 command vehicle was developed in the United States in 1962 on the basis of the American-made M113 armored personnel carrier. The M577 is armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun and is designed to control troops at the operational-tactical level and can also be used to transport the wounded. Judging by the force of the explosion, in this case the Ukrainian M577 command vehicle was used to deliver ammunition and personnel.
