I can answer question 3. Iran's government has been selling missiles and other weapons to the Russians. I doubt if there is much left in the way of sanctions that could be applied against Iran. I think there is a continuing effort to strengthen/ renew/ restart/ reanimate/...nuclear power negotiations with Iran so I don't think the West will want to come down too heavily on Iran.
As to question 1, I hope Russia is paying too much.
It seems to me, after doing no research at all, most of the Shahed drones are downed with million dollar missiles.

That's something I can't understand / figure it out!!!

Everyone is aware of Iranian AF... A working museum... It needs serious renewals... From chain of command to giant metal beasts...

From my pov, it would be good opportunity to enforce Russians to give us equipment, instead of money... TBH, money won't be in use, you know the reason.

However, as I mentioned in another thread that how politians have destroyed other opportunities to renewal the AF.

Needless to mention "historical" debts, both world wars and prior to them, Russo-Persian wars... They never payed the money they had to.

In my eyes, Like many other Iranians, there is no difference among Russians, Arabs, English, Chinese, Greeks, Turks, Mongols, Romans, Portuguese, etc. I hate all of them [important notice: I'm talking about when they have invaded my country, except Arabs, I hate them, because of Islam, even today.]! All of them are invaders and shall pay for it, costly and dearly.

Putting all these together, what do you think the relation between two countries go???

Will Iran be able to enforce its demands in a "friendly" manner? Will Russia accept to sell / give equipment, training and support to Iran?

Beside these, how the relation between two countries, affect other nations... China, Ukraine, the rest of the world?

Vladimir Putin's plan to win quickly in Ukraine failed. Russia is now implementing an even more brutal strategy

Vladimir Putin has a brutal new strategy to ensure Russia's invasion of Ukraine is "a long process". It means there are now strategic and humanitarian imperatives for the West to defeat Putin's latest theory of victory, writes Mick Ryan.

As long as the Ukrainians are willing to fight I can't see the West pushing Ukraine to settle with Putin. The West is in this for as long as it takes, IMO.

As I sit here in Canada, the economy continues to run, the stores are well stocked with food and goods, we're all working and living our lives well enough, all the while Ottawa sends $$ billions to Ukraine. There is zero sign that there's a war on in Europe. The Canadian government would have wasted the money on something else, so even the most disinterested Canadian likely thinks we might as well help the Ukrainians. Putin may think he can play the long game, but what do the Russian people think? Especially when there's half a million dead or wounded by this time 2024.
 
Reading a book about the eastern front in WW1 just came across this.

Don't know why it remains me of this war special military operation:

Great post and great info. The dissimulation trait identified from the Tsar's era was merely amplified during the Communist era. Totalitarian regimes never recognize that fear is simply not a good motivating factor. It can be useful if applied judiciously...but if it's the only club in your golf bag, people will quickly learn to avoid providing information that may get them in trouble.

Russian army hit by cholera outbreak after Kakhovka dam flooding

Several Russian troops have died while entire units have lost their combat capability, a military partisan movement has said.

Russian MOD already found why this is happening :rolleyes:

"The high technical readiness of the US to use infected vectors is evidenced by a patent for an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to disperse infected mosquitoes in the air. In accordance with the description, the drone must deliver a container with insects to a given area and release them. When bitten, mosquitoes can infect military personnel with a dangerous infection, such as malaria," Lieutenant General Ihor Kyrylov said.

Good artical, but as mentioned earlier, news outlets are claiming Ukraine has launched it's offensive, but Ukraine's officials state that they haven't yet.

In their own words: "you'll know when you see it..."
 
Anyone have a guess when GLSDBs might be showing up? Ukraine has Storm Shadows but I'm thinking not too many launch platforms. I don't recall how much closer the AFU has to get to target the Kerch bridge. A Storm Shadow/GLSDB swarm might make for some interesting videos.
I'm sure the AFU has already planned for their proper use.

Not too long ago, Putin was blaming the U.S. for Russia's gay "problems", so blami g the U.S. for "infected" mosquitoes does not come as a surprise.

Though infecting an enemy through pests is nothing new...

Cholera is not transmitted by mosquitos. But I guess Russian populace doesn't know that. Most probably they don't even know that troops south of the broken dam have a Cholera issue.
