Dedollarization is the shiny new economic thing. Demand payment in rupees.If I'm India selling anything to Russia I want US$ cash in advance before I lift a finger. I don't know what Russia will look like politically by 2030, but the place is going to be economically bankrupt.
The only way to buy rupees is to exchange rubes to dollars. If you want to avoid the dollar Russia could use a barter system, two tankers of oil for a brace of missiles?Dedollarization is the shiny new economic thing. Demand payment in rupees.

Indian arms company BrahMos Aerospace has declared it wants to sell its BrahMos cruise missiles to Russia, according to the CEO Atul Dinkar Rane. In an interview with The Week, the BrahMos Aerospace CEO said they have been continuously lookingdefence-blog.com
They are carrying on as if it is a fair swap for the couple of thousand AFV's they have already lost. Maybe it is ?It was always going to happen sooner or later. They made a big deal of the Leopards and Bradley's caught in the open only for them to end up back in Ukraine arms
I can't imagine buying Indian missiles. Just think of their tech support line.NATO needs to overbid Russia
To their credit these don't look like the ragged, poorly equipped conscripts we're told populate the Russian army.
Popov's audio message was relayed by Andrey Gurulev, a member of the Russian parliament and a former Deputy Commander of the Southern Military District, on his Telegram channel."As many commanders of divisional regiments said today, the servicemen of the armed forces of Ukraine could not break through our army from the front, [but] our senior commander hit us from the rear, treacherously and vilely decapitating the army at the most difficult and tense moment," he said.

A high-profile Russian general in command of forces in occupied southern Ukraine says he has been dismissed from his post after accusing the defense ministry of betraying Russian soldiers by not providing sufficient support.
General Ivan Popov was the commander of the 58th Combined Arms Army, which has been involved in heavy fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region. He is one of the most senior officers involved in the Russian campaign in Ukraine.
In a voice note, Popov said that he raised questions about "the lack of counter-battery combat, the absence of artillery reconnaissance stations and the mass deaths and injuries of our brothers from enemy artillery. I also raised a number of other problems and expressed it all at the highest level frankly and extremely harshly."
Popov said that the Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu then dismissed him.
Popov's audio message was relayed by Andrey Gurulev, a member of the Russian parliament and a former Deputy Commander of the Southern Military District, on his Telegram channel.
The public resignation or dismissal of such a senior officer amid an open dispute over the conduct of the Russian campaign is unprecedented, according to analysts.

I went to his "toilet bowl of a website" and felt the need to shower after I left.What a tool ....was gonna ask 'Who is this guy?' - in a rare moment of self-sufficiency I googled his name. This confirmed (i) that my assessment of him as a tool is totally correct; and (ii) that i have things in my fridge that are smarter ....... He's the poster child for Useful Idiots.......
.....or maybe just multiply Yugoslavia by 100.......Put together Venezuela, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and North Korea, and then cover it with snow, and you see the future of Russia.

The MiG-29 in Ukrainian hands reminds me of how the Israelis repurposed Nazi Germany's Messerschmidt Bf 109s. How Nazi Germany's Fighter Planes Saved IsraelI would have never imagined as teenager in the 1980s first reading about the MiG-29, that four decades later the type would become a heroic all-purpose aircraft used by a free Ukraine to defend Europe from the Russian horde. Here's an article about the first Western pilot to fly the MiG-29 in 1989.
