Geopolitics is a handicap for China here.How long before China steps into the second place supplier. My guess would be about six to nine months
India is smart here. They avoid annoying the West and still get super cheap, $60/barrel oil. Russia can't turn off the wells, so they need to sell the oil to someone.India to Ensure No Breach on Russia Oil Purchase Sanctions

If you say so. I assumed it was more intensive than standard, since Ukraine's Leopard 2 operators need to be up to combat standard in a span of weeks when it normally takes months.12 hours a day, 6 days a week? Sounds like a standard day in the field on any military training exercise.

re: "set conditions for Moscow finally understanding that they cannot win this war."Perhaps Russia is conserving ammo in case of an upcoming Ukrainian offensive?
It is interesting to see an ardent Russian nationalist essentially confirming the assessments disseminated by western intelligence organizations (IMHO, the UK has, in particular, done a good job of declassifying assessments so they can be shared freely and openly).

Everything seems to pointing to the fact that time isn't on the Russian side. They are running out of almost everything tanks. equipment, ammo, drones, training and repair facilities. From day one logistics have been their Achilles heal and they don't seem to have caught up.
For a long time Russia has been using S300 in a GA role. When this first happened a lot of people including me could hardly believe it, now its almost expected. What will happen if/when Ukraine get F16 or equivalent aircraft and they need the S300 long range SAM's
