🇷🇺⚠️ German intelligence warns Russia is preparing for a major war with NATO by the end of the decade. They say Putin won’t stop at Ukraine and is ready to use force for imperial ambitions. Lithuania’s intel notes Russia isn’t ready for full-scale war yet but may test NATO’s resolve with limited attacks.
@noelreports which tanks and logistics will they use. Are they able to replace everything they are losing in 4 yrs time? At the moment ORC’s drive lada’s in the front lines
@dutchking @noelreports They can build a lot of materiel. Their problem is that they are losing it faster than they can build it. However if fighting stops, Russia can start rebuilding its military and stockpiling weapons.
What's worse, once the sanctions get lifted, Russia could purchase weapons from other countries (notably China) to accelerate its rearmament.
@elgregor @dutchking @noelreports the report says RU ist already building more troops than they loose and they already use excess to build new formations in western direction. RU troops beeing bound in UA is thus considered in the report.
