  1. >Sales of combine harvesters dropped by 76%, forage harvesters by 49% and articulated tractors by 48% from January-April 2021 to January-April 2025, Rostselmash said.

    to put it into context, Germany’s largest tractor manufacturer Fendt was complaining about an 11% decline in sales last year from its peak year

  2. > place all 15,000 of its employees

    May this be just a domino in a coming unstoppable series of falling dominoes.

  3. Alright comrades, leave your tools and pick an AK on your way out!

    Don’t forget your sunflower seeds.

  6. Guess Putin found more “partially mobilised volunteers” for Sturm V

  7. Why is there no link to the source in the article? Yes that has link about reduced sales but no about 15000 workers. If u will look for information from interview with Konstantin Babkin (Co-owner) he said only about 2000 people

  9. Well, that’s almost 15 days worth of troops on the front lines. 

  11. That’s a division of Ruzzian cannon fodder … two week delivery.

  12. One man gets a rifle, the other follows! When the man with the rifle….eh screw this. Ya all look at the drone-birdie and wait for the flash!

  13. The central bank rate of 20% is killing businesses strapped for credit.
