How Goes the War
Bryan Alexander
It is estimated that Russia has already expended some 55% of its short-range missiles and 20% of its ballistic missiles. They are having a hard time manufacturing more, because so many of the parts of their missiles come from the West. They have been able to get SOME of the electronic elements by funneling purchases through other countries (which needs to be stopped, of course). Meanwhile, they have lost so many tanks, they are taking obsolete T-62 main battle tanks (from the 1960s!) out of mothballs to replace their losses. Oryx reports Russia has lost WELL over 6,000 armored vehicles so far (and those are just the ones that have been confirmed), including almost 1200 main battle tanks, almost 400 of which were captured by the Ukrainians, who will be using them against the Russians. Some 2000 armored vehicles of all types have been captured by the Ukrainians.

And I have a really nice bridge in Brooklyn that I can sell you at a really great price.

Sorry, Bill; Tim's and my friend Jack Kemp (not the politician) who lives in NYC already has control of that bridge.

Well, it was at a good price Dana...
I don't believe it either Bill. I simply report and you decide (well, actually Bryan reported.)

The loss of armored vehicles would mean losing 28 per day, every day continuously for 214 days. Is that even logical?

Good point. I hadn't bothered to tab it up in my head Bill.
