Rest in Peace Anatoly Gerashchenko, former head of the Moscow Aviation Institute.



Not sure if "flying" is the appropriate term to use here even in translation.

Anatoly Gerashchenko: Putin Ally Dies In 'Mysterious' Circumstances; Top Aviation Scientist Plunges To His Death From A Great Height

Gerashchenko, who served as the rector of the Moscow Aviation Institute from 2007 to 2015, plunged to his death from a great height.

Huh? That is suspiciously mundane cause of death but unless they release an autopsy report we would never know for sure.

Russia has increased its Defense and Security Spending to $155 billion this next year according to Reuters. This is about 18% of the United States' defense (and partial security) budget with most of the increase in the budget coming from a 50% increase to Russia's security funding, specifically the state Investigative Committee, the prosecutor's office, the prison service and the National Guard while Defense spending will supposedly only increase 1%.

The 2023 budget will see spending on the "national economy" - including roads, agriculture, and research and development - fall by 23% to 3.5 trillion roubles. Healthcare is to get 9% less - or 1.5 trillion roubles - while education spending will be cut by 2% to 1.4 trillion roubles.

Infrastructure and industrial spending will fall by 23.5% and 18.5% respectively, according to a joint study by the Russian Presidential Academy (Ranepa) and the Gaidar Institute. That "could trigger significant difficulties" at a time when Moscow is trying to find new markets away from the West, the institutes said.

Social spending such as pensions and welfare, a cornerstone of Putin's domestic economic policy and used to court voters in previous campaigns, will total 7.3 trillion roubles - an 8% rise but still less than the combined military and security budget.

Analysis: Surge in Russia's defence and security spending means cuts for schools and hospitals in 2023

Russia plans to spend nearly a third of next year's budget on defence and domestic security while slashing funding for schools, hospitals and roads as it diverts cash to support its military campaign in Ukraine.

I wonder if they'll start falsely accusing people of crimes now, just so they can send them to Ukraine as cannon fodder.

They don't need to do that. They can just conscript people.

But then they must explain why sons of important KGB dudes was not conspricted.Better accuse unimportant dudes,and send them legally as criminals.

They did prank Putin's Press Secretary Peskov's son a while ago.

Putin confidant’s son pranked, caught trying to get out of military service in Ukraine

The son of a top Kremlin aide was duped by a Russian rabble-rouser into revealing that he would “obviously not” serve if drafted into Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile - Medvedev on Russia's endless supply of More Dakka.
Take it away Dmitry:
“Enemies of Russia are still carefully “calculating” our losses and our reserves. They hope in vain to diminish our capabilities. It continues. Enough for everyone, not only for Ukraine! We have thousands of missiles for everyone in Europe, thousands of bombs for Germany, for France, for Great Britain, our stocks are unlimited because we work day and night on refilling them up. The rain of Russian missiles and bombs never ends. it is a field in which we can outproduce everyone. Meanwhile NATO reserves and NATO warehouses are already empty, that’s why politicians of the USA try to engineer a peace between Russia and Ukraine because they know that they can’t win with our industrial potential.”

This shit is why no one takes him seriously. He's virtue signalling to the hardliners, and the hardliners love the myth of Russian military superpower status more than ever (disregard their inability to defeat Ukraine all of NATO mercenaries pretending to be Ukrainian Army).

Oryx did a breakdown of documented Russian (and opposing forces) heavy equipment losses in previous Russian Federation Conflicts. It notably doesn't include things like trucks and other light vehicles in the earlier Chechen Wars.

Yes, in Polish.
The article does not fully open for me, but - with the ALL CAPS added by me -

“Enemies of Russia are still carefully “calculating” our losses and our reserves. They hope in vain to diminish our capabilities. It continues. THERE WILL BE Enough for everyone,

is indeed correct.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

Russia can throw as much manpower and money into its war machine as it likes, but unless they fix its endemic corruption then it will never be truly effective.

The Kuz is even more fucked than we thought.

Yes, specifically the tech-heresy of improper application of sacred maintenance rites.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

She's become a maintenance nightmare. To my mind it's either time to send her to the scrap yard, or convert her into a museum ship. The latter is a good option by the way, as a floating museum to the Soviet Navy would garner the interests and visits of many.

Are you suggesting that The Omnissiach is showing them the Sacred Sign of:

Museum? That would imply making it look nice and ensuring it stays floating. Some people suggested turning it into a filming location for horror movies.

It's called the revenge of the Second Baltic Squadron.

No, she's a logistic sink we want Russia to have to maintain.

They can fix her, they cannot really replace her anymore given the heavy industry loss their invasion of Ukraine has cost them.
