well I agree with the first three but ....the last 2 are questionavle : "Weapons manufacturing facilities.

" weapons have been a big problem for russsia ...hence the NK deal and the buy backs from India - buybacks , not barter for oil .....haven't seen any payment in oil so far for weapons , has all been cash as far as I'm aware but if you have some support .....? weapons - mostly require many modules and components NOT produced in russia and difficult to source - certainly has been some cheating on saznctions which Europe and US are trying to stamp out , adding more sanctioned comapnies in several countries found to be supplying russia . And russian supply of weponry and equipment has not met demand - we see shells fired drop dramatically and number of aircraft , helicopters and ships depleted hugely . Missiles have been in short supply latelty and saved for winter attacks on Ukrinian energy infrastructure .Not many countries at all willing to suply weapons ....if you know more than 2 you tell me . there is no doubt that russia are not anywhere near the strength that they enterred this war with their reserves of almost everything lower or gone , particularly in the quality items - plenty of tanks still for instance, but crap ! How long will the monbey last for russia ? Rouble extremely low and interest rates are high showing russia under great financuial stress . these are the important bits you left out .....some balance ....as a "neutral I'm sure you'll appreciate that !

Not many countries at all willing to suply weapons ....if you know more than 2 you tell me Russia probably only need two at this stage. North Korea. A win for both of them and a lose for our allies. Fattening up the North Koreans ready to be fit for service while swapping food for ammunition. Iran. Those top notch drones traded for who knows. Maybe nuclear weapons knowledge/ help. Also bad for our allies. But if you are still in WW3 denial I guess it does not matter much.
