So these Rus MoD reports aren't even the whole story
Of course there are other federal organs engaged such as Rosgvardia, but they don't report on their activities

They'll have night vision sights such as this
![Russian special military operation in Ukraine #15 - Page 31 18349400](https://ua.all.biz/img/ua/catalog/18349400.jpeg)
In combination with an IR searchlight located on the exterior of the vehicle. You switch on the IR searchlight and then look through the night vision sight - and you'll see out a certain distance depending on weather conditions, maybe 1-2km on average.
Alternatively if the other poor fucker is forced to use the IR searchlights too (possible if its a DNR T-72B or a Russian T-80BV) then you can forgo switching on your own and simply use your sights in passive mode to catch the enemy tank lighting up like a lighthouse beacon.

Thing about all these goons is

Truth of the matter is though they're the uncredited henchmen of the Batman TV show on sundays. That's their actual role.

The problem of the shortage in the troops of the necessary and relatively cheap products in sufficient quantities - from air bomb modification kits to individual walkie-talkies and modern pistols - lies in the peculiarities of relations between industry and the state in the last 8 years.
Defense spending, including the purchase of new weapons and military equipment, has been stagnant since about 2014. Under these conditions, the gross volume of special profit cannot be raised, especially considering the domestic procedures for determining prices for products under the state defense order.
In this regard, it became profitable for the industry to sell technically complex and expensive systems at the maximum margin per unit, rather than to produce hundreds of thousands of cheap products at a small margin. This interest grew as large-scale production of anything required serious investments in production facilities, which was not always available even with government guarantees.
Finally, it was much easier to draw the attention of both the press and purchasing services to expensive systems than to explain why this unprepossessing “young designer + young electrician” set of plastic, metal and wires is needed, the purchase of which in the necessary gigantic quantities requires the restructuring of factories and contracts worth hundreds of billions of rubles.
The result is obvious - we have mass-produced cruise missiles worth tens of millions of rubles and aircraft worth billions. But most of the targets these aircraft will hit with free-falling air bombs, because their development into correctable bombs was postponed several times in favor of more complex and expensive systems. Exactly the same situation is observed in the production of nondescript and inexpensive, but very important military items - from first aid kits and boots to walkie-talkies and microdrones.

Well if those are the T-72Ms Poland handed over. Even if they are, they wouldn't account for more than 10% of the total of 200 handed over.
I suspect no-one wants to give the Ukraine anything they can use themselves or have recently invested money into. That's not what the Ukraine is there for. What it's there for is to inflict maximum possible casualties on the russkies with as much of their own biomass as possible and as much outdated or surplus gear of no use to NATO anymore as possible. With the occasional trialing of untested weapon systems such as the Starstreak just to see how they do.

They're giving them on the condition that the US replaces them for free.

Seems these "experts" are mixing up LPR/DPR guys with russian soldiers. The first large purchases made were personal equipment of all sorts. No shortage there, including first aid kits and boots.
Long-range precision weapons were produced en masse because they win wars, as this operation shows.
Planes using only dumb bombs is total BS. If they do they use them with SVP-24 which gives results close to guided weapons. (Not long ago some of these "experts" were demanding the use of more dumb bombs because otherwise the war would be to expensive.) And russian bombs are mostly single structures with fins welded to the bomb body. You can´t just turn them into guided weapons, this would propably be more expensive then to produce a new guided bomb.
Microdrones. Wow. First they were missing heavy drones, now microdrones. Is there an army that fielded microdrones in some quantity? Well, the most deadly combination of this operation has been the Orlan-10 + 2S19 and Krasnopol.
Modern pistols? Really? You can use a f...ing pistol from WWII and kill an enemy. Next they will lament that the soldiers only have AK´s and not personell rail guns.

Well, I suppose most know that if this operation is not conducted now on Kievan soil, the West will sooner or later try their luck again on Russian soil. And there would be much more victims. This operation is to prevent 1941 ever happening again. It must duty of every Russian leader.
Meanwhile... Kievan regime is set for more and more firm liberation every day:
Russia changes position on Ukraine’s EU membership bid
Russia has changed stance on Ukraine’s prospects of the EU membership, Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy has said. The membership now cannot be a part of any peace deal, the diplomat told the Unherd News in an interview on Thursday.

I keep asking the same thing. Multipronged attacks are essential to encircle enemy forces and cut off supply lines, yet there has been 0 advance. This is why I view the Russians as incompetent. Not because of lack of advances in the Donbass, but lack of multipronged attacks in the south.
Regarding the pontoon bridge vehicle massacre, it's still up in the air. Despite the nonsensical nature of those vehicles destruction, you can clearly see an O marking on one of the BMPs no matter(on top for aircraft to see it) how much pei here pretend it's not there. You can see a destroyed BMP-3. Now AFAIK the O grouping is the most competent, with more access to thermals and drones, and they specialize in special forces recon and anti saboteur opérations, not large scale armor attacks, so it doesn't make sense why they would get bogged down with cold war vehicles. Maybe the vehicles were from both sides.
Also, it seems like Ukraine still has 3+ operational captured T-80BVMs as shown in their may 9 parade mocking Russia. This lends credence to large amounts of Russian vehicles being captured , especially up in the north where the Arctic brigade operating the T-80BVMs was
