Russian General Staff is already at war with US

From now on, the fiercest battles will take place in Konashenkov's head. Russian forces have already successfully "attacked" the United States military base

client/title.list_title

The military fantasist of the Russian Defense Ministry cheerfully reported on the destruction of 4 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. This US infantry fighting vehicle has not yet been delivered to Ukraine, which means (it is logical to assume) all four vehicles were hit on the territory of one of the US military bases.

This is just the beginning because Konashenkov is a favorite talkative anteater of Gerasimov, the Chief of Staff of the Mordorian Ministry of Defense. Gerasimov's talent lies in inventing achievements, which Konashenkov dutifully replicates. Only in January they:

  • "destroyed" about 600 "Ukrainian nationalists" with a "revenge strike", although in fact, only a piece of asphalt was "denationalized";

  • "liquidated" either 4 or 2 HIMARS systems. 

In total, the combat asset of Gerasimov and his talkative associate already has 35 damaged Ukrainian MLRS. The only thing is that the Ukrainian Armed Forces received only 20 such systems, and all of them are intact.

“Gerasimov returned to the helm of the war, which means that his staff jester will again sow military optimism in the masses with the confused look of a schizophrenic. In their defense, I will say that they are not only liars but also idiots"

The artistic whistling in tandem is better than their "special military operation." Until Prigozhin and Kadyrov raided their leadership of the war, there were many such stories. In just 4.5 months of the war, they managed to

  • shoot down 88% of Ukrainian helicopters and 108% of Ukrainian planes

  • neutralize 135% of Bayraktars;

  • Destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces by 80%;

  • Destroy Ukrainian tanks and armored personnel carriers by 200%.

Now Gerasimov has returned to the helm of the war, which means that his staff jester will again sow military optimism in the masses with the confused look of a schizophrenic. In their defense, I will say that they are not only liars but also fools. The fact is that the Ukrainian Armed Forces themselves often help to improve Konashenkov's statistics. I just calculated that the Russian forces spent $65 million on the destruction of HIMARS dummies.

Now we are at the beginning of a new fairy-tale season, where the Russian forces will fly on ultra-modern carpets-planes, the blacksmith Lefty, following the flea, will forge Ivan the Fool, and he will become a super-soldier, and Gerasimov will teach the Russian soldiers to shoot down HIMARS missiles with a slingshot.
