There is considerable chatter from the Ukrosphere, which, of course, as per usual, has passed into Western strategic/military-oriented thinktanks, that Russia is beginning to scrape the bottom of its barrel as regards artillery, tanks, and so forth.
Well, there is some truth to this. For example, Russia is now making extensive use of towed cannon that were designed just after World War 2.
But, hey, GLOBOHOMO (specifically, the USA) has provided the Reich with World War 2-era cannon, even older than Russia’s stuff.
At the present rate of losses, Russia will run out of pretty much all of (its own) ground combat equipment, by this time next year (if the war is still going.)
And so, GLOBOHOMO has actually begun to think, that it can out-equip Russia, and win the war that way.
Only problem is, GLOBOHOMO is losing its gear in the Reich, just as fast, or even faster.
You see, they always project THEIR OWN problems onto Russia.
But, it won’t happen.
Already, several Chinese armored cars (perhaps not full-on “MRAPs”, but nonetheless) have been documented on the Russian side. Yes, you read that right.
And, right now, the Russian infosphere is being prepped for the deployment of North Korean artillery pieces. It might be some more months, but, it is on track to happen.
And, if you didn’t know, North Korean military stocks are ENORMOUS, and certainly, far in excess of the real needs of that country’s active military force.
(Also, the “North Korean ballistic missiles” story is true, they have already been used by Russia extensively.)
Sorry, there is no chance that GLOBOHOMO can out-equip Russia.
Folks, it’s nothing new. As regards this war, GLOBOHOMO strategic thought is one-half wishful thinking, and one-half whatever the Reich is saying.
As for “tactical” updates, which I hardly do anymore…..
Russian progress in Dzerzhynsk (“Toretsk”) is spectacular. As of this writing, substantially more than half of the city (including most of its industrial and higher-rise areas) is in Russian hands. In terms of the scope of its built-up area, this town is at least half the size of what Americans refer to as Bock-moot. Considering that Russians first barely crossed into Dzerzhynsk town limits only in late August, this is simply tremendous progress.
It is now obvious that the town will entirely “fall” (or be liberated, whatever your bias) within the next couple of weeks AT MOST. After that, and the taking of the remaining villages just west of the town, there are no serious urban barriers for many miles due west, only some topography. Again, the “nothing west beyond this urban barrier” story, same as with Krasnoarmeisk (“Pokrovsk”), Kurakhovo (“Kurakhove”), and Ugledar (“Vuhledar.”)
Brothers and sisters, as I wrote, the Kursk diversion will be the end of the Reich. I wrote what I wrote, and as for you, when you know the outcome, you don’t need daily updates. Have a nice day!
Please note, unless something really blows up in the world (and perhaps not even then), I will not publish any new content until Thursday, October 10th.



Thanks for the update. Uk media kept slagging off the Russian industrial capacity saying (with a straight face ) that if you need other peopleโs weapons youโre done. Mr D reports that yes ,Russia is getting a vast arsenal from all the baddies. Whatโs more it illustrates the old adage that in industrial war if you canโt make stuff ,itโs just a matter of time.
Not YET getting a vast arsenal from all the baddies. Will get, if needed.
NK artillery shells have been showing up for a while now. Assuming that the dark blue shells are really theirs. I believe you had mentioned this too
Jacob, I know you’re not into tracking Ukraine War developments on a centimeter-by-centimeter basis, but I have a simple question that I’m sure you can easily answer and that’s a bit more substantive:
Is Donetsk still getting shelled regularly by the Ukrainians, or have they been pushed back enough to stymie that problem?
Great question. Donetsk is no longer being routinely shelled/rocketed. Likewise for Belgorod.
Thanks!
Enjoy your well-deserved break, Jacob.
Enjoy your rest. You’ve earned it.
Any chance of a small Canadian Thanksgiving war porn epic…a few purple balloon animals to help us all give thanks for whatever the hell Canadians are thankful for? Again, just asking for a friend…you know some kind of crazy war junkie type…pfft…these people right?
