The number of dead Russians shipped back from Ukraine or buried there would argue otherwise.

In other news, they started making their own 152mm shells. Now they can use their big guns more instead of relying on 122 and what they had in storage.

Making of shells for the 1975 cannon is a great success!

Great Britain was a great Empire and perfectly able to conduct propaganda. Also Great Britain is an important player in geopolitics. They will say what is beneficial to them. Russian language have an old good expression about this. Англичанка гадит (Englishwoman c***ping).
Well it because Putin arrests his dissidents and does crush opposition in his country and can resort to killing them as well. There is no real opposition and in the next federal Russian election there is no real opposition, and those that choose to run have to be approved from Putin.

At least the West has something Russia does not have such Freedom of thought and basic human rights.

Far from it.

Take a look at that gun the Ukies are using. They do use them a lot too.

1. That thing weighs 5 tons probably. Its just fine for static trench warfare against an enemy that has limited capability and when the targets are civvies in apartment blocks. I mean the Ukies are known to hit 30 story buildings with ease. It's about the only targets they can hit reliably at least. Shoot and scoot is not even in that things owners manual. You need a prime mover to move it, the crew isn't moving it that's for damn sure. In an artillery dual that thing is going to get off 2 rounds then end up scrap.

2. It has a very high silhouette. You can spot it from a long way away. Sappers would be skulking around behind the lines and hear these things then see them a mile away. It's too obvious. Those things are a FACs dream come true.

3. Okay. They're making 152mm shells. Great. You probably get 300 rounds down the tube before it wears out. Got any spare barrels? As a barrel wears it decreases the accuracy of the weapon. They can make all the shells they want but if they can't hit a 30 story building full of civvies that's good too.

Look at the artillery expert here. Okay early 80s, same thing.

Those guns have a 25 to 40 km range. Any Russians can't get near em...Ukraine is on its home turf so they know where to place artillery (after a few painful lessons before they realized Russia would be shelling them from inside of Russia).

Immediately same comes to mind Pavlensky. What's wrong with him now? How does it feel in a free Europe?:Д
