    The problem is that a) it’s not true and b) even if it was, there is not anything to buy for that money.

    Russia is running out of hardware, what are they going to do, throw rubles at the Ukrainian defenses?

      Russia not only has a massive sabotage-and-disinfo campaign, they also have semi-allies running the US now.

      Russia still is very capable, has tons of hardware, and is making more. The air force is still looking really good.

      Running out doesn’t mean, they will ever actually run out. It just means a weapon will be used more rarely.

        They produce around 10 tanks a month, refurbished included. They lose that in 2 days.

        Their airforce is looking good? Then where is it? Where is the air superiority? Nowhere to be seen because they’d get shot down.

        You’re right that they will not run out like I run out of milk, but if you can’t replace the losses of tanks and infantry vehicles, you have suddenly to rely on unprotected vehicles and human meat waves. They will not run out totally either, but it will stop them and the possibility to kick them out grows.
