I'm afraid that the discontent with Putin is a bad sign - I've scoured a couple of rascist channels, and, well, "Putin is weak like Nicholas II or Gorbachev... He's going to ruin Russia like they did...", which implies that our Tundra friends want a good ol' Stalin. They want to come up with a complete psychopath. Like, there is a "orthodox billionaire" Malafeev who financially backed the assault on Donbass in 2014. Russia is the last Christian Empire on Earth in their minds! The Third Rome! The heir of Byzantine! My gawd...
We need a miracle right now. I believe, China finally losing the nerve and biting a chunk of Russia's belly would hit the spot. (Unless, of course, China loses the nerve in the opposite direction, Taiwan. What a mess the world is right now...)
Well with Russia being soundly being thrashed we are just looking at the fact that subpar weapon systems make for excellent targets.
Don't forget currently there are more targets of opportunity the Russians are presenting then Ukrainian forces have artillery shells. So now they are only going for occupied armored vehicles.
And Russia has given more armored vehicles to the ukrainians then Germany has!
