Russia of course will never admit how badly this war has gone for them, but they don’t get to define reality. They have been waging a terror campaign for 1,000 years against Ukraine. Their despicable and frankly pathetic “response” to losing 1/3 of their strategic bomber fleet is just more of the same - attack civilian targets from stand off distance. Executed with a dwindling number of bombers and missile launchers. Ukraine will get them all, eventually. The message to Ukraine is clear - keep degrading their ability to strike, because Rusisa is out of escalation steps. There’s nothing else they are willing, capable or allowed by their Chinese masters to do. The divorce of Ukraine and Russia is permanent - It is a simply a sick game of endurance now.
They’ll keep up the terror until UA hits them again, just a tad harder. And again. And again. In the end it’ll be nukes or nothing.
The nukes were broken by the end 80s. They haven’t been maintained for 15 years now since it was ukraine who maintained them
i think might stuck to maintaining thier nuclear subs though. the static ones are easier to destroy
