Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays. (self.showerthoughts)

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

The really advanced US tanks and jets haven't entered the fight yet, and we've seen big gains in the last week with Russia losing 3 towns in the south, all the gains they made in the north over the last month taken back, and more groups crossing the Dnipro river. It's been a slow acceleration wearing through Russian reserves, but there's still a way to go before winter slows things down.

The real advanced weapons enter the fight next spring.
