This is a perfect illustration of how US military industry is optimized for soaking up as much government funding as possible instead of producing reliable weapons that can be manufactured at scale.

    What do you mean by “popular guerilla tactics”? They’ve given out guns to civilians from Teroborona at the very beginning, they’ve been using civilian vehicles to transport soldiers, they’ve been using civilian buildings to hide ammunition depots and artillery positions, ans there’s been at least one case of civilians attacking Russian armour with Molotov’s. Plus the whole drone bombings

      Well, those you listed, yeah. I admit I hadn’t looked too much into it beforehand and was going off on the discourse about tanks and planes, and even now I’m no expert on it. It’s just I’ve hardly seen the international observers talking about traps, “cheap” sabotage or insurrections in the occupied regions.
