  1. haha better get used to it. for the foreseeable future russians might only be able to afford stuff that has been disposed by fucking wish.com for quality issues and i cheer for that until Putin is gone.

  2. Demoralized army, poor maintenance, insufficient food and fuel poor leadership, cheap Chinese products.

    The only reason why Russia is a “superpower” is nukes.

  3. You have insulted all of the Chinese people! Apologise immediately or there will be grave consequences!

    In all seriousness, the muddy season was exactly what people were talking about when saying the window of attack was closing, before the invasion!

  4. > it’s a bad Chinese copy of the excellent Michelin XZL military tire design

    Et ouais

    I know what to buy for my SUV /s

  5. That’s what happen when your PIB is not on par with the army size and you try to claim PPP is the way to look at military expense

  6. In the original Twitter thread people are disputing the “Chinese” claim pretty quickly, and point towards a Belarusian origin for the tires. Whether they have quality issues too or not I haven’t the slightest, but it really appears to come down more towards not treating the tires correctly in storage and having let them rot for too long.

  7. The Russian general staff must be squirming by now wondering which of them is going to get the blame for this.

  8. You mean the guys whose brand new submarines are less stealthy than soviet subs from the 70s DON’T make great equipment?

  9. Putin fostered an environment of extreme corruption in Russia over the past 20 years. It should be of no surprise that the corruption has also infiltrated the Russian military.

    This is what you get.

  10. Yeah its never the mosculs, its always someone else at fault…

    Why we poor pudin? “The West”

    Why noone likes Russia? “The West”

    Why our news differ from world news? “West propaganda”

    Why we can’t win in 2 days like you said? “Chinese tyres”

    Why all Lada cars suck? “…”

    Why all Lada cars suck? “…”

  11. Great idea Putin. Blaming the only country on the planet that’s even remotely sympathetic to you.

  12. Someone build nice house and dacha thanks to the difference between military-grade tires and some shitty Chinese knock-offs…

  13. I’m really interested in leading a scrap metal convoy to steal all the dumped Russian equipment..
    but I’m also sceptical about the metal content of said equipment

  14. Those Chinese geniuses…! It was their plan all along for sure. Someone took notes from The Art of War and applied it!

    /s but I wish

  15. Instead of supporting Ukraine with weapons we should supply Russians with shit quality materials. Point 1 for China.
