Fairly well documented to be in shambles, yes.

You don't buy munitions at markup if you have a functioning war economy especially things like expired artillery munitions from North Korea.

It is made up, find a source willing to say it themselves, I won't hold my breath in the mean time.

Oh, just like how said economy is producing four times the amount of ammunition that NATO is, according to the Secretary General himself?

That's almost a year old bud. You think things might change in a year of getting bombed and multiple factories and ammunition dumps exploding?

expired artillery munitions

Do you actually have anything to back up this idea that they're expired, or is that just what you heard and chose to believe because it fits with the narratives you already accept about "the backwards enemy"?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Combat videos, sure. It'll take a minute to find the right ones but it's not super difficult to find videos of Russians with antique equipment on the front line or showing off out of date munitions.

No one said they're backwards dude, I said they're not capable of keeping production up vrs what they actually use.

Okay, I'm in no rush. I will wait patiently for evidence of a batch of expired munitions from the DPRK.

No one said they’re backwards dude

You must have been lucky enough to miss all the articles in 2022 claiming that Russians were fighting with shovels, or that they had never seen washing machines or paved roads. Or the delightful little not-at-all fascist trend of calling them "orcs".

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Gotcha.

I never made that claim, you're just using it to imply I'm in some way bigoted because I don't agree with you. Orcs actually comes from a Russian American journalist and a Russian journalist but I'll let that one slide since it is fairly gross.

I'm not saying they're backwards

No one is saying they're backwards

You said the second one, but I am glad you're not on board with the orc thing
