Kofman: Russia still recruits 33,000 to 35,000 men a month, but now spends more than 90% of them on replacing losses.
Its prospect of a breakthrough is close to zero.
Russia has had a number of months this year with net negative results.

In seven nights, 3 to 9 November, Russia launched 1,607 attack drones and at least 71 missiles at Ukraine, Ukraine's Air Force reported. Hits were recorded at 152 locations.
he routes in the video are illustrative; the numbers are not.
On the night of November 13, Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Volgograd Oil Refinery.
At least two crude oil distillation units, ELOU-AVT-1 and AVT-6, were hit. Together, they account for approximately 70% of the refinery’s total primary crude oil processing capacity.
According to preliminary reports, the refinery’s oil storage tank farm was also hit.

🔥🛢️10 Russian refineries with a combined annual refining capacity of 135.95 million tonnes struck in 15 days.
Volgograd is the latest addition following tonight’s Ukrainian drone attack.
The total represents the refineries’ nominal capacity, not the amount knocked offline.
Ukraine’s Patriots were already running out of missiles. Now its European backup appeared to be thinning too.
In October, Ukraine downed 11 of the roughly 150 ballistic missiles Russia fired, about 7%, according to official Ukrainian figures.
On 7 November, Russia launched 36 missiles on ballistic paths in one night. Ukraine downed four.
President Zelenskyy told Denmark’s parliament on 11 November that Ukraine met these missiles with “empty Patriot systems,” because the interceptors it sought kept going to the Middle East.
A day earlier, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said Italy had Aster missiles it needed to keep for itself. The Asters arm Ukraine’s two SAMP/T batteries, the European system that backs up its Patriots.
The Asters set aside for Ukraine were reportedly exhausted, Il Sole 24 Ore reported.

It's noteworthy that the🇷🇺propaganda outlet explicitly states that, while Ukraine is attempting to adapt its armored vehicle tactics to the modern warfare by leveraging existing resources, Russia, for its part, is showcasing a prototype of an unmanned tank that not only suffers⬇️
Svyatoslav Golikov (Philologist in ambush 🇷🇺pro-war TG channel) shared a link to an article by Tsargrad 🇷🇺propagandist media outlet that includes, among other things, his views on the use of tanks and AFVs in modern warfare. The article argues drone warfare has made traditional⬇️
from a number of technical flaws (weaponry, remote control, protection) but has also failed to reach serial production or ever venture beyond the confines of a training ground.
Kofman: This is the best year of Ukrainian combat performance since 2023. It's the worst year of Russian combat performance since winter 2023.
Russia's attempt to envelop the last cities of Ukrainian Donbas has failed on both the southern and the northern axis.

🇺🇦 "Ukrainian Armored Vehicles" showed the military the heavy "Protector" ground drone, armed with a 12.7-mm Browning M2 machine gun
The remotely controlled combat module "Tavria-12.7" was installed on the robotic platform and demonstration firings were conducted at distances of 100, 700 and 1000 meters - both from a place and while moving.
The firing efficiency exceeded 70% of hits.
Now, in this configuration, the "Protector" can not only transport cargo and evacuate the wounded, but also hit ground and air targets, including drones.

Volgograd oil refinery in southern Russia burning heavily following what looks like another Ukrainian saturation drone attack.
Multiple fires seen raging on the territory of the facility following the strikes.
Most Russian infantry we deal with are barely trained lowlife trash
The problem is - they don't need to be good. They need to be able to cross the killzone, hide there until further reinforcements and force our clean up teams to expose themselves
