Since around Mid-May 2022 the reports on the War in Ukraine became more negative when it came to Ukrainian Armed Forces, particularly it was noted many times that the Russian Forces were gaining the upper hand in artillery combat. There was a comparison of ammunition spent, how much artillery the Russian Armed Forces have, the call for more artillery for Ukraine etc. in this video I look first at some of the reporting about the challenges the Ukrainian Forces face and then I will discuss with Stanimir Dobrev https://twitter.com/delfoo the various issues that Russian Forces are facing based on his analysis and experience. We also look into aviation, ammunition, war economy, barrel wear, Syria, West vs. East thinking, long-term vs. short-term, etc.
