This is to be expected: less pipelines and pumping stations means that they fall back on railcars.

The real significance is that it is for export. This means that getting money from diesel exports is a higher priority than having the fuel for their own use.

I very much agree.
Taking out the aggressor should be the priority.
All the roles are necessary though. Ukraine recently demonstrated the Skynex system. So they can protect their own.

Did Germany finance the development and production of HRIM-2 or the long range Neptune or something entirely new?

'Realists' laugh at moral indignation. They shouldn't. Sinking as low as Hitler is a very negative factor. And it's real.

European and US pacifists and Russian friendly voices should be confronted with the hard reality of Putin's "Russian Mir".

As Putin believes in impunity and many Russians with him, Ukraine and the West should make them understand there won't be such a thing as impunity.

9. The world community has had it with Putin. There are still those who protect themselves from disgust by denial. As Dwight Eisenhower decided on 12 April 1945, after seeing the “conditions of indescribable horror” in concentration camp Ohrdruf, the world should know this.

Their replacement (the Satan rocket) misfires, falls out of the sky or just explodes. Doesn't look like a hopeful project at this point. The same goes for the Oreshnik.

8. Russian artillery is imprecise. That's a weak point.

7. Old Russian ICBMs have been neglected are underserviced and may be a case lost. The same goes for the nuclear war heads. Russia's protection is the we don't know for sure. Some may still work.

6. Russia is financially on its way to the bottom.

4. A Russian tank showing up at the front is a tank lost. The same goes for other vehicles.

5. Many of their strategic bombers are irreplaceable. Factories, assembly lines and knowledge stems from times past, the engineers are dead. A bomber lost is a bomber lost forever.

3. The Russian army is thoroughly corrupt. Soldier's salaries flow into the commander's pockets. The dead are not acknowledged, so the money keeps flowing. The anonymous dead go into landfills by the thousands. Supposedly "Missing In Action" so as not to pay teir families.
