Firstly you are moving the goalposts from Russia being low on precision missiles, to Russia has the upper hand in ammo production.
Secondly you are attacking me as if I espouse what the MSM was saying; Check again the previous page where I showed how you misrepresent peoples positions.
Do you actually believe that if Russia had an infinite amount precision missiles, they would recruiting prisoners and sending human wave attacks against Ukrainian lines?
The Russian army is built for one mode. Attritional artillery battles. We have seen how their goal a swift and sweeping invasion failed, and now they have reverted to type.
It is reasonable to assume they have sufficient supply chains of artillery ammunition, because that is what the Russian army does; Combine that with Ukraine's use of soviet equipment early in the war. Ammunition for which is not manufactured in the West. It is inevitable they will struggle with maintaining supply for those platforms.
Your angle about Russia having more ammunition being a "gotcha' moment" is a total misnomer.
Furthermore NATO is getting masses of intelligence on weaponry and tactics of a near pear adversary. If you don't like that fact, it does not make it any less true.
It is amusing how you use realpolitik to justify Russia's invasion, at the expense of Ukrainians; But when faced with the reality, of NATO getting information at Russia's expense, you become a humanist and deride the fact.
Don't throw stones in glass houses junior. You would do well to hide your hypocrisy more carefully.
Why would I need to "move goalposts". If Russia is low on precision missiles, they kick asses of manufacturers to produce more, 24/7
That's how authoritarian regimes work. You know nothing, everything you assume about Russia is wrong. (gas station, low on precision ammo, incapable of another offensive, and so on)
Seeing you post NONSENSE on a daily basis is amusing, accusing me of being a "bootlicker" is even more amusing when I'm that guy stating over and over again this conflict could've been avoided entirely and YOU are posting that it's a great testing ground for NATO.
Dishonest war mongering trash poster.

MacGregor is BAD joke, proofs:

One such interview, with Carlson, was aired on Russia's state-controlled TV.
Macgregor also said that Russian forces were "too gentle" in the early stages of the Ukraine invasion, and referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a "puppet." Those comments prompted Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney to describe Macgregor as part of the "Putin wing of the GOP."
/e I will give you a tip: controversial people are not necessarily reliable... Often these are desperate to get more visibility and will say the most GROSS and delirious things in order to get it.
And;
- Russia's shellings are well know for being inaccurate. So yep, you can circle-jerk on this "capable" for a while, it will not change their precision ability nor giving you a point.
- French campaign was done 210 years ago, before even the use of electricity, motor vehicles, and it was an invasion (meaning russians were defenders) in winter: It is... delirious... to involve this in this debate on a military point.
=> The Serfdom history of Russia was a much more interesting suject, reflecting (partially) the russian people behavior. (beyond the gulag ofc) <=
MacGregor is right, the Ukrainian army is going to get destroyed. There can be no other outcome.
No one can predict the exact timeframe, the West is still buying Ukraine time but has only resulted in more destruction and the Ukrainian army is bleeding white.
French campaign was 210 years ago, true but Russia didn't have electricity either at that time. And you failed to understand the point I made (AGAIN). Everyone in the West underestimates Russia just like Napoleon and Hitler.
The point is that you shouldn't underestimate the largest country on Earth where authoritarian rulers will do whatever it takes to stay in power / win wars.Right now it's already clear what's happening, Russia is producing weapons and ammunition 24/7 and mobilizing as many troops as they deem necessary.Stoltenberg recently admitted on TV that NATO production can't even keep up with ammo expenditure in Ukraine.
