The Ukrainians seem to be dealing with it by switching to bots, drones and the like as much as possible and moving human resources back.

I'm not sure about the Russians. That would kind of make sense for them too but things seem a bit gummed up by bureaucracy - I just read a thead about them having to use firecrackers in dones due to such restrictions https://x.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/2049026651544023271

I hope Russia manages to get some more sensible leadership or policies. The Ilya Remeslo guy being let out and able to criticize Putin seems somewhat promising.

Haven't read the thread but the post omits crucial detail. This is about using interceptor drones inside Russia, not on the frontline. Apparently, the thinking is that failed interceptor drones present hazard of their own, but it might be outdated now.

Like what?

More and more people in Russia are unhappy with Putin dragging his feet with so called special military operation. They think that it's long overdue to turn to total war and forget about minimizing civilian losses in the Ukraine.

Well an obvious solution would be to back to Russia and do something else. You don't have to invade other countries and have an empire. I'm a Brit and we gave up on that about a century ago and it hasn't been so bad. The whole thing seems anachronistic, I think based on Putin reading too many history books and avoiding modern info on the internet.

Wait until Scotland or Northern Ireland gets independent and then China or some other powerful country "midwifes" an anti-British coup there and then we'll talk.
