Warte - was war schon wieder deine Nummer? Nicht dass ich diese versehentlich wähle und dein Hund dran geht (wäre nicht gut da er dann nicht mehr im Mittelpunkt steht falls du gewinnst, das mag er gar nicht!)

Fat target! Minus one moscovian drone pilot.

This kataspian specimen went outside to recover his returning UAV when a surprise arrived.

Always when I hear something about goats I think about Kadyrov. I don't know why! 😇

Sooner or later they have to. They will remodel whatever makes sense and is cheap. It doesn't need to protect but it needs to look nice and be drivable 😇

I've made the same style graph for T-62s, but i'm not sure that the difference in T-62 variants, means that much.

T-72s, similar to T-80s are mostly the modernised orb 2022s now (including Orb 2025s) comprising about 75% of the total T-72 losses.

T-80 losses have not shown any big recent change, but Unmodernised T-80BV (Dark Blue) continue to become less common, and ether T-80BVM Orb 2022 or Orb 2022s of unknown (BV or BVM) modle, (yellow and light blue) together now make up over half the total.

T-90 losses are now exclusively T-90Ms, only 2 T-90As have been lost this year, the last in Apr. This reinforces my long held assumption that Ru has been upgrading there T-90As to T-90Ms, And probably means they are now few if any T-90As left, new T-90M production is probably back to 60-80 a year

🧵on Russian tank losses. In September russian losses returned to a more normal distribution, T-80s and T-72 each make up about 1/3 of losses, most of the rest are T-62s, and T-90s stay in the 5-10% range.

IRussians do not want to go to the military. Even not for up to 73k dollars.

Read the story to understand why the Russians refuse to go to the slaughter house 🏠

The truth is slowly getting to the public...

1/ Recruitment to fight in Ukraine is drying up to the rate of "a teaspoon a day," despite very generous salaries and bonuses, according to a Russian government official. Thousands of Russian Telegram users have responded to explain why they don't want to join the army. ⬇️

That's really good news. Hopefully less Kalibr missiles terrorizing Ukrainian civilians.

Impressive news that a Pr.21631 Buyan-M class missile corvette has been hit by Ukraine on Lake Onega, up north. Presumably by a strike drone (OWA-UAV)?

This ship can launch Kalibr cruise missiles.

Lake Onega is on the inland waterways connecting Baltic, Arctic, Caspian and Black Sea

If you do not have much gasoline to drive to your working place or if you want to go out you think 3 times before you do it. You will drive the minimum as possible. Additionaly gasoline or ⛽ diesel got constly for the ordinary Russian.

The S&P Global Ru Services PMI fell to 47.0 in September 2025. Under 50 means the services sector is contracting.

This is the third contraction in the services sector over the past four months and the steepest decline since December 2022.

It fell to a near 3-Year low and it may falling further 😇

Still a good way to go to reach the 2022 levels (see 5 year chart 📉). The next quarter will be very bad if e.g. gasoline shortage continues. Small business are not even counted here so it might be much worse.

Russia Business Confidence fell to -1.60 points in September.

In Russia, the business confidence index measures morale among manufacturers.

The index shows the difference between the percentage share of executives that are optimistic and the percentage of that is pessimistic.

...Corporate Profits is a cumulative value.

So small business are not even included and banks as well. It's not looking good and it gets worse quite fast now.
