I thought they were saying Russia would have crushed them within a week, what happened?
You could make a laundry list but essentially after they failed to quickly take Kyiv and eliminate Zelensky, the deep rooted issues with their military took over. Equipment was not well maintained, troops ill-disciplined and fundamental flaws like not having NCOs become obvious. Everything from fuel to food to modern optics for vehicles was sold for money.
They have lost more generals than anyone since WWII in large part because of terrible comms systems (they destroyed the systems needed for secure comms
) and the need for the generals to be closer to the troops to deal with mutiny etc. As Ukraine is getting more modern NATO weapons, Russia is bringing out 60+ year old tanks and equipping soldiers with equipment like this.This is the update from an ultra nationalist in the LPR (Lugansk People's Republic). He is one of the ultra nationalist russians who came to Eastern Ukraine back in 2014 to help the separatists there with what was essentially a civil war. He is talking about the impact the long range heavy artillery given to the Ukrainians has had as well as the usual complaints about the strategy and tactics being outdated and inadequate. He also hints at the grift/corruption that has impacted everything. RF AF = Russia
Girkin is a mouthpiece for the FSB so this could be him trying to "wish" something into existence or an actual "prediction" instead of his usual shit talking about Putin and the Russian military.
One idea that is floating on some telegram channels is that the meeting my be related to this:
I think it is purely coincidence but who knows with this

Effectiveness of Ukraine's HIMARS Fuels Concern in Russia

Pro-Kremlin figures have expressed rare public concern after Western-supplied weapons allowed Ukraine to carry out a series of successful attacks on Russian targets far behind the frontlines.
The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which the United States started sending to Ukraine last month, appear to have been most effective at damaging Russian military positions.
Russia has suffered “large losses in both men and equipment” in less than a week, according to Igor Girkin, a former commander of separatist forces in eastern Ukraine.
“The Russian air defense systems… turned out to be ineffective against massive strikes by HIMARS missiles,” Girkin, who also goes by the alias Strelkov, wrote on messaging app Telegram on Sunday.
Alexander Sladkov, a prominent war correspondent for state-run broadcaster Rossia 1, said Monday that Ukraine had successfully attacked Russian command centers.
“Ukrainian missiles and artillery have struck decision-making centers several times. With results. The centers are small but important,” Sladkov said on Telegram.
HIMARS can hit targets up to 70 kilometers away, meaning Ukrainian troops can deploy the wheeled, high-tech lightweight rocket launcher outside the range of most Russian artillery.
Reports from authorities in separatist- and Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine also indicate that attacks are becoming both more frequent, and more deadly.
Officials in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said Monday that at least three people were killed and dozens injured in the village of Stepano-Krinka following a Ukrainian HIMARS attack.
Ukrainian forces also used HIMARS to hit the city of Alchevsk and the village of Irmino over the weekend, according to the separatist authorities.
Both Stepano-Krinka and Alchevsk are dozens of kilometers behind the frontline.
In a Telegram post accompanied by videos of large fires, Russian state television journalist Andrei Rudenko said Sunday that the Ukrainian side “most likely” used HIMARS to hit ammunition stores in the towns of Shakhtarsk and Torez. “Strong fires and explosions… The situation is horrible,” Rudenko wrote.
The Ukrainian military carried out 14 strikes on Russian ammunition stores and military bases on Russian-occupied territory in the past two weeks, the BBC's Ukrainian service reported Monday. While it is unclear whether HIMARS were used in all cases, BBC Ukrainian said the strikes’ accuracy indicated they were responsible.
“Over the last 5-6 days, more than 10 large dumps for artillery and other ammunition, several oil depots, about 10 command centers and about the same number of troop gathering points were hit,” ex-rebel commander Girkin said. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed Monday that it had used Kalibr cruise missiles to destroy Ukrainian ammunition depots in the Dnipropetrovsk region that included rockets for HIMARS, although the claim could not be independently verified. Russia said last week that it had destroyed two HIMARS rocket systems and ammunition depots in eastern Ukraine, but both Ukrainian and U.S. officials rejected these claims.
Washington last week announced a new weapons package for Ukraine worth up to $400 million that includes four additional HIMARS. The new deliveries will bring the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ HIMARS arsenal to 12. Ex-rebel leader Strelkov said the Russian Armed Forces should be trying to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure so HIMARS systems and ammunition cannot reach the battlefield. “When will Russia’s Armed Forces start fighting to their full capacity?” he wrote.

DAMN, Putin's doing so well he has to re-up from IranWhite House: Iran set to deliver armed drones to Russia
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Monday said it believes Russia is turning to Iran to provide it with “hundreds” of unmanned aerial vehicles, including weapons-capable drones, for use in its ongoing war in Ukraine.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said it was unclear whether Iran had already provided any of the unmanned systems to Russia, but said the U.S. has “information” that indicates Iran is preparing to train Russian forces to use them as soon as this month.
“Our information indicates that the Iranian government is preparing to provide Russia with up to several hundred UAVs, including weapons-capable UAVs on an expedited timeline,” he told reporters Monday.
Sullivan said it was proof the Russia’s overwhelming bombardments in Ukraine, which have led it to consolidate gains in the country’s east in recent weeks, was “coming at a cost to the sustainment of its own weapons.”

Chatter about Iran drones have surfaced, I won’t be surprised if they already there.
I was reading something about missiles that China might want to test out.
Russia being petty, seem like they had a equipment expo in Lizzie chance. Seem like it was captured equipment that was abandoned by Uk forces.
The TikTok battalion leader have a America Humvee. No visible damaged to it, look like it came straight from here

I am just a history/military/IR nerd so all of this shit is insane to see in real life. They have the m270 too which is essentially 2x HIMARS.
You can always tell how effective things are by how much the russians falsely claim to have destroyed them. Case in point, they destroyed this

Hell yeah
OP is spreading more gossip than TMZ.
USA, Inc. NEEDS a war because it is destitute and has to find someone to pillage but there are only a few places left, none of which are viable options so this BS is tossed out.
