Now we have seen one of the production lines of Geran, presumably many in Russia, because Russia wanted to scare Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe (now I will start excluding the USA from this because Trump and the USA have a completely separate agenda, and at some point Europe must take responsibility in this?) has severely underestimated Russia&#8217;s rebuilding capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023 and also during 2024, the new production of equipment was low and largely made up of existing vehicles. It could be reasonably assumed that what Russia managed to add was a drop in the bucket, and that existing equipment was starting to run out little by little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You remember my enthusiastic posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All open-source intelligence analysts who have gone through the depots know this, for example, and what remains now is rusted and takes as long to produce as new equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our sanctions were supposed to strangle Russian new production, especially in high technology &#8211; a tank without a sight is a pile of scrap metal wandering around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Europe&#8217;s arms factories were supposed to be working at full capacity, and Ukraine was supposed to be provided with new capabilities magnitudes above Russia&#8217;s, thus winning the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before that, Europe could draw from its huge stockpiles and keep Ukraine afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happened \ud83d\ude36<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly, Europe hasn&#8217;t stopped anything at all, all imports have just happened through new routes via somewhere else. It has been mentioned countless times that, for example, German exports to Azerbaijan have increased by +5000%, everything has been exposed to Russia, and nothing has changed after +3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine if they had gone after this smuggling like the Swedish Tax Agency chases us honest workers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And RU has managed to buy even the machines needed to manufacture barrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/defence-blog.com\/spanish-firm-supplies-russia-with-machine-for-artillery-production\">https:\/\/defence-blog.com\/spanish-firm-supplies-russia-with-machine-for-artillery-production<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe has also bought Russian oil throughout the war, and we have then bought Russian oil refined in India throughout the war, ensuring that Russia has Western currency for its purchases of all the equipment they have lacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have recently seen the Russian production lines for Geran drones, which are somewhat gigantic, and we also know the number of drones flying into Ukraine per week, and it is many &#8211; Ukraine is no longer laughing at Putin&#8217;s promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can guarantee you that China has built those production lines and that there are similar ones in China that then send drones labeled as &#8220;made in Russia.&#8221; A redundancy in case Ukraine is allowed by Europe to target the factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe has not set a single hard limit for China throughout the war &#8211; the EU is currently in China for trade talks, for example \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen military production lines in China that look similar for robots and drones but in different models &#8211; which leads me to the argument that China has even more capacity, something I have been accused of lying about before when I claimed it. Those who claimed that might need to backtrack now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other day we posted videos along with information that China provides 92% of the parts for Russian drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia has also used drones in large numbers in its operations and a smaller number of robots, presumably targeting high-priority objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russian robots and drones have good accuracy, as we have seen when they have hit restaurants for meetings and other targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel has the world&#8217;s best LV, and even there, Iranian robots hit their targets, and Israel started running out of ammunition, so you can imagine how it looks in Ukraine when we are constantly scrimping on ammunition for LV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also know that Russian robot production has increased significantly, and for example, Iskander is now mass-produced, so Russia is building up large stocks of robots and today may have around 2000 robots available in storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukraine has previously destroyed arsenals and depots, and in these small fire clouds, robots have undoubtedly been destroyed &#8211; how many, we do not know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia is still running the Ukraine war with its inferior equipment, older tanks, mostly drones, fewer robots, NK robots, NK ammunition, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have changed tactics to a swarm of shooters where they send the unwanted children first, identify UA positions, drop FAB on them, and send competent shooters under a drone umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pivot has made defense costly, I guess, and UA has admitted that they are troubled by FAB, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have known for a long time that RU has 1st and 2nd class shooters, and they reasonably care for their better units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in 2025, Russia, just like Ukraine, has gained valuable work experience in the organizations, and they have managed to rebuild their training capability after an initial significant dip when even the training battalions were sent to Ukraine and wiped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to China &#8211; I can also bet that China has reviewed Russian production lines for tanks, armored vehicles, IFVs, small-caliber weapons, ammunition, artillery, special aircraft, and high technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that they provide all the equipment and components that are missing, we have long written that North Korea was just a front to get Chinese equipment in, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Ukraine knocks out key production from time to time &#8211; for example, the factory for gearboxes for all heavy vehicles burned a few times, much to our delight.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Today in 2025, it is no longer about the removal of wagons but rather about new production, primarily of T90M. Armata seems to have continued existential problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T90M shouldn&#8217;t be able to be newly manufactured at all since Russia shouldn&#8217;t have the technology, but they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BMP-3 is also in full production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps at least a dozen brigades per year can be equipped with newly manufactured T90M, BMP-3, Ptgb, MRAP, and other heavy vehicles, and we have had this for two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artillery is now also being newly manufactured thanks to the Spanish machines for barrels and shells, costing around +4 million\/year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Russia is in the process of re-establishing traditional newly manufactured capabilities in its organization while simultaneously waging a high-intensity war in Ukraine and being under full sanctions from the West &#8211; and they are Russians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shouldn&#8217;t actually be possible, suggesting that they have been heavily supported by us in the West and China &#8211; but now we are here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/united24media.com\/latest-news\/russia-triples-deadly-iskander-missile-output-using-chinese-machines-9408\">https:\/\/united24media.com\/latest-news\/russia-triples-deadly-iskander-missile-output-using-chinese-machines-9408<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ukrainian drone advantage that I was very excited about is quickly eroding.

I warned not to laugh at them and, as always, I was right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since T90M, BMP-3, and other &#8220;better&#8221; wagons are rarely knocked out in Ukraine, the only conclusion can be that Russia has built up an offensive reserve, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now they have a few different options for it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-attack south from Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-attack into the Baltics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-attack at existing fronts in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With North Korea&#8217;s 11th AC on the way or already in place at the northern front, over 50,000 additional forces are released from the mobile units up there and can be counted into the offensive reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Zapad 25 allows Russia to send units to Belarus at least, it is not far-fetched that something will happen before Raspusitza in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starlink was down for 2.5 hours the other day due to a global issue where &#8220;tens of thousands&#8221;

they have been pushing for that since Obama and under Biden&#8217;s ancient leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that if Russia doesn&#8217;t lose, Ukraine does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the fall of 2024, Trump has thrown enough sand in the gears that the damage has already been done &#8211; for two months, he tried to remove Zelensky, for example, that bastard, that audacity is hard to accept \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will return with a post about Ukraine and the fronts, but when Sirsky himself asks for permission to target objectives in Russia and they are short of 155mm ammunition &#8211; what the hell is Europe actually doing here \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are now pouring funds into the defense industry, but if Ukraine lacks 155mm ammunition, something is very wrong, and unfortunately, I think I know what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every country in the EU has now fallen into the trap of feeling that Russia is a threat, and now the countries&#8217; defenses are being significantly sharpened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russian influence operations in the midst of all this, of course, and the entire weapons industry applauds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary and Slovakia placed early orders for CV90 and Gripen, for example, just to block, which I pointed out and received a lot of backlash for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our weapon factories are running at full capacity, but the weapons are not primarily going to Ukraine, instead, we have become like American hoarders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is that Ukraine&#8217;s domestic arms industry is $60 billion short, and money doesn&#8217;t come in a day. When we have $500 billion in &#8220;frozen Russian assets,&#8221; I find it more than incomprehensible \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, I suggested that Ukraine should carry out a spectacular offensive &#8211; they, of course, had that plan, but Trump, among others, torpedoed it &#8211; Ukraine had the drone advantage, and it was this advantage that allowed them to invade Kursk &#8211; drone cloud and EW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in the summer of 2025, this advantage is nullified \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that China has gone &#8220;all-in&#8221; with Russia was confirmed on May 9th, and we have seen Trump sabotage everything he has managed since the fall of 2024, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe made a big push during K1 and K2 in 2025 &#8211; there was supposed to be a ceasefire and peace, which I urgently warned against and that it was a very bad idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin thought the same, so he didn&#8217;t care &#8211; it&#8217;s not often we agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Europe teamed up with Trump for peace in our time, Europe has gone silent, and the situation is likely tense now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s tense because Russia, with China&#8217;s help, has sorted out the logistics and, with Trump&#8217;s help, managed to keep Europe passive, giving them the time they need to line up for further offensive actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now they are well prepared for further offensives, and they have strategic drones and robots that effectively act as a deterrent to Europe &#8211; Europe is starting to get scared and retract its claws even before we unleash them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukraine is back to a situation where Russia has a stunning advantage in indirect capabilities, and they are on the defensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How the hell did this happen \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can Europe demand that a country like Ukraine itself should wage war against Trump, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and a pool of personnel from Africa&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you skim through the post lightly and have followed this with half interest, you might feel that Johan No.1 is angry again, but throughout this war, I have been angry that Ukraine has been denied the opportunity to defeat Russia &#8211; they have been undermined when the decision was close to save Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>I have also in a whole war informed you that UA offensives are coming, which they have done, but sometimes the outcome has been a disappointment \u2013 like when Trump negotiated away Kursk for example, and before that they choked off the ammunition so there couldn&#8217;t be any more offensives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we are not there now, I am upset that Europe has torpedoed Ukraine so they are sinking, and if Europe doesn&#8217;t watch out, Russia will have significantly advanced its positions before the year is over \u2013 significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am of the opinion that UA must have offensive capability, but I do not know how many losses they have suffered in the past six months, and then everything is always relative, right \u2013 if they are losing the drone advantage, it is a very big negative, and if the artillery has fallen silent, it is a catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are well on our way to Ukraine retreating to its defense line outside the area Putin has declared as his, and then Putin will declare a ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McDonald&#8217;s Gandhi will strike like a hissing spitting cobra at that, and Europe will immediately breathe a collective sigh of relief that peace has finally been achieved in our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the problems really begin for us in Europe, even if Ukraine may get a respite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we end up in this situation, we will have reached Chamberlain&#8217;s paper waving after this epic Ukrainian sacrifice that we in Europe have categorically refused to acknowledge so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is what is good for Ukraine \u2013 maybe it is necessary for Europe to get involved in this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us in Europe, what we are heading towards is a disaster \u2013 just start getting familiar with AK4, I&#8217;m just saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the USA, it&#8217;s probably not so bad \u2013 Europe is back under the US boot \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see something that I don&#8217;t, please feel free to let me know because right now it&#8217;s pretty dark on the substitute bench, and it&#8217;s also getting pretty dark for many intelligence analysts, so unfortunately, I&#8217;m in good company&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a high risk that our leaders in Europe do not understand what they are causing and neither the effect, but we can always hope that something happens at 11:59&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, I had expected a devastating Ukrainian strategic bombing campaign against the most high-value targets and offensive operations. I thought I had calculated that Ukraine had offensive capacity and that Europe had sent a lot of material, but I may have underestimated what Ukraine has received \u2013 they are complaining about a lack of material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, it is Russian offensive, Russian strategic bombing, a Europe that has fallen silent, and a Zapad25 in a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you liked the post \u2013
