61 billion: if 50 billion USD would be weapons bought from US that would be understandable. But i have heard almost half is spent on increasing,expanding US industry, new buildings, hiring new workpower, etc. literally that half isn't even weapon only starting working on the capacity. Also the weapon prices skyrocketed, the most the artillery ammo shells, so they will buy way less for the rest of this money.

One info many don't know: Russia do NOT use conscripts in the conflict! ONLY professional soldiers! They use them (after 6 months minimal training) only for transport and defensive tasks. Even currently around 1000 person joins the Russian military daily to go on military career, way more than their casaulties. They get not only the basic traning of 6 months but also more if their spcialisation needs it (tank drivers, sharpshooters, pilots, etc. etc.) So when they increase their conscripts and numbers that is to give them general training and to secure their territories, not to send them to the conflict as cannon fodder. Compare this to Ukraine: they use conscripts who got 4-5 weeks basic training from NATO (if they are lucky) how not to blow themselves up, then go to the front. This was a year ago. Those wanted to join joined. Now there are force conscripts, low moral, can't be sent to NATO countries they would not return, so they get few day minimal training then sent to the frontlines. According to UKRAINIAN professional officers their combat value and moral is close to zero. Some contries plan to send trainers to Ukraine to solve this issue, meaning to have someone give basic training to these forcefully consccripted people. Yes Ukraine has marines, professional troops, but they are on the combat lines for 2 years, no pause, and direct contact is minimal they only meet drones, artillery fire, air strikes, etc. 90% of the time. This is why 80% of the mercenaries who joined for money already left. In this conflict you don't even see the enemy, you just hope you survive. Ukraine's huge casaulties are filled replaced with civilians. (So when every Western expert taunt Ukranian soldiers not properly using the Western weapons i would take them, tell them what is a grenade and which end of a gun shoots then send them to the battle line and see their performance, or tell them use a tank after few weeks learning how to generally operate it. )

What also worth mentioning Western Arms industry giants are booked for the next 20!!! years to fill NATO orders. Those emptied warehouses (they gave expiring stuff to Ukraine) needs to be refilled. This isn't a rumor, they officially teeling this like Lockheed Martin, etc. It takes this much time to make enough F35s, other modern weapons now they are selling like candies. At least 80%+ of Western production is for NATO orders NOT for Ukraine. Also Rheinmetal said x amount of shells can be given to Ukraine but try to make more by expanding.... because their current capacity is mostly locked to fulfill their NATO orders.

Just a conduit for russian trolls😂

Excellent reporting.

Hey look, it's agent 47!

Nobody does it better than Brian!

When linked into the AWACS system the ABRAMS tanks are considerably better than any other tank. They can locate and fire upon a tank that is out of visual range. Ukraine is not able to utilize the full capability of the ABRAMS because they aren’t fully integrated into a defensive network.

There is a key point to consider about refurbishing equipment. The difference in refurbishing a tank is that it does not increase the total number of tanks in the inventory.

The collective west, especially the US and other Anglophone nations, have forgotten the huge losses in people the Russians in say, the first fifty years of the twentieth century. Taken together, the number killed, wounded, maimed and unaccounted for in the Russo-Japanese War, the First World War and the Civil War that immediately followed, and finally, the Great Patriotic War, must be at least 60 million. This fact alone goes a long way to explain why Russia is proceeding deliberately and methodically in its current SMO and not embarking on the grand, sweeping offensives the (ignorant) western media keeps banging on about. Indeed, the western media sees Russia not doing this as a sign of weakness, incompetence or a mixture of both. Nothing could be further from the truth; belated recognition of this being merely unpalatable evidence of just how wrong these "think tanks" have been.

Boris Johnson and Russian President Putin have interestingly said the same thing: If Russia wins, the West will lose its hegemony.

The deep state media like CNN, BBC, MS NBC ..etc never show or allow such news and if they mentioned that Ukraine is not doing well THIS WILL NOT BE HEADLINES, BUT ONE SENTENCE NOTHING MORE...coz of that I stopped watching them long time ago.

Thank you for your update & analysis🙏👍🙏
