Russia didn't get to the size it is without competennt leaders- though most were merely more competent than those matched against them.

Doesn’t this basically make this tank mobile artillery? Can’t turn the gun!!you mean this one? didn't help ;}
I mean it never even ‘ravelled’ in the first place
unfortunately this is simply not true, the lines have been at stalemate for months now with the only major change being Russia taking Avdiivka albeit at huge cost.
Again unfortunately not true - they’re still selling as usual to the west via India and the UAE, just at less profit than normal.

From "The Analyst":
JET DRONE DEBUT
Perhaps one of Ukraine’s most interesting drone developments made its debut in daylight yesterday.
A sleek black carbon fibre drone powered clearly by a micro jet engine - similar to those model jet enthusiasts use. If you’ve never seen on of these they’re quite remarkable. The power to weight ratio is ridiculously high - probably ten times that of the real life equivalent. I’ve seen scale models of Concorde and 747’s take off in a handful of metres and then fly at extraordinary speeds for long periods.
Well yesterday this long range version of an armed drone was filmed
on its way to a target in Belgorod, clearly jet powered its high pitched whine gave it away, its jet black body moving far to quickly to be shot at by men with guns.
Yet another step up in the technology of war drones.
The Russians have been boasting of their jet powered shaheed which has yet to appear - and Ukraine is clearly past the stage of developing this version.
The lightweight carbon fibre and wood body - which also makes it harder to see on radar, apparently contains a sizeable fuel tank, a single rear central engine and a front end warhead and guidance package. The Delta wing configuration is efficient and ideal for speed as well as providing the lift needed to carry the payload.
Russia brought these drones on itself. They moan and complain about how unfair it is yet seem oblivious to the fact they were doing this to Ukraine for years now - and largely against civilians. They just don’t seem to grasp this is all their own fault.
It’s only going to get worse. Ukraine lacks artillery so it’s making up for it in ever more innovative ways with drones. The laws of necessity and supply and demand inevitably lead to innovations. War has always accelerated developments that peace time would never create the conditions to have happen.
Slava Ukraini !
