7) No, Russia didn't increase missile production because it circumvented sanctions and getting the chips from the west.  Chips used in most to all military equipment isn't top of the line and is usually on nodes as old as 90nm amd older.  To which Russia mass produces in those ranges.  Telegram channel's pushing this narrative but proclaim to be pro Russian, are simply adding fuel to this fake narrative.

If true it seems like a successful Ukrainian/Western intelligence operaation as Kadyrov has managed to keep Chechnya loyal to Russia and he has sent his soldiers to fight in Ukraine. If the West manages to liquidate Kadyrov what will happen in Chechnya next? Russia cannot afford another war in Caucasus now.

Its pretty absurd that precision guided muntions have been around for 40 years and people still think you need state of the art chips to make them. Then the same people claim the chip are coming from washing machines... is there a washing machine with a built in game console?

1) Shipyard is a repair dock. Because it has ships in it doesn't mean it's a base nor is the equipment operational

2) Kalibr has between 1,500 to 2,500km range, they don't need those ships in black sea to launch Kalibr strikes on Ukraine.

3) we don't actually know the extent of the damage. There isn't a single expert on this forums on such stuff as far as we know.

4) There really isn't such a thing as a stalemate in this as Russia is currently on defensive and not offensive.  Stalemate would indicate Russia is actively trying to make major moves against Ukraine in New directions - it hasn't for at least couple of weeks.

5) certain members here like Mr HD appear only for a specific goal.  Simple fact that it still is allowed to post here is astounding and shows that trolls, bots and paid instigators can freely move around and trash the place.

6) Russia still builds Kilo's, and rather fast too.

7) No, Russia didn't increase missile production because it circumvented sanctions and getting the chips from the west.  Chips used in most to all military equipment isn't top of the line and is usually on nodes as old as 90nm amd older.  To which Russia mass produces in those ranges.  Telegram channel's pushing this narrative but proclaim to be pro Russian, are simply adding fuel to this fake narrative.

The sooner the West looses its bid to establish multipolar dominance over the world with its parlor tricks and sleights of hand and manipulations that have so far incited a horrific war in the Ukraine, earlier that in Syria, Libya and Iraq - and may yet incite more in Taiwan, Pakistan, Nagorno-Karabakh, Niger, Sudan and other places - the better for humanity.

Western countries won't collapse. This discrepit globalist system will along with the elites that run, but as for the US, the European countries themselves their economies will recover, new generations of sensible politicians will be elected who will pursue realistic policies of integrating as equals together with the rest of the world, and that will be that. It'll be a brave new world.

Russia though has no such option, its been targeted for destruction. The Western megalomaniac elites and all the media and propaganda instruments at their beck and call have been altogether quite open about this. It's a matter for survival for Russia to destroy Western hegemony and not just in the Ukraine, and it's what will be done. If you have any sense at all, you will not see a regression in this but an evolution. For everyone.

Wouldn't be the first time he's been reported poisoned.
