Mud. We've seen T-90s, etc. get stuck. If Ukraine has warmed sufficiently, that wildly fertile soil - when sufficiently wet - turns in the perfect glue for anything heavy.
So basically Putin launched an assault in the face of all common sense...

At this point, I’d trust Ukraine to utilize them more competently!Xi can send an email to Putin with this and let him buy whatever he wants.
Can even make him a deal. Buy 30 get 1 for free.

4 day or even a month is not good measure for out come.So if Russia's action was better executed, there would not have been western sanctions? How could that be possible?
At the height of the conflict there were around 25,000 Russian troops — 17,000 border guards and 8,000 peacekeepers — in Tajikistan.
. It was not unusual for more than 25 Russian border guards to be killed in a single raid. Sometimes the dead were decapitated. One Russian border guard told the Washington Post, “This is a pretty serious enemy. They’re pretty well armed, well disciplined, well trained...That’s why the battles with them are so fierce.”
Predictable. Russia will most likely achieve a pyrrhic victory. One of the side effects of this poorer than expected performance is it will psychologically boost both the Washington elites and regular Americans to physically take on China on the Taiwan issue even more. They will falsely equal the Chinese military doctrine, training, equipment as copies of Russia and can't possibly win in a ambitious Taiwan campaign, and a chance to halt the "rebellion" against the current world order once and for all.Thanks to the perception that Russian Army performs below expectation I saw some hot takes that if battle hardened Russian army doesn't steamroll to Kiev, then inexperienced PLA won't ever win on Taiwan.
Dude, Sanya has a major PLAN naval base and air base. It's definitely getting nuked in a war.So, in a revised, and humbler, response to this (now that I know you’re not what I’d assumed you were), weather patterns may limit fallout and the worst nuclear winter patterns to the northern hemisphere, above the tropics. So, those living south of the Tropic of Cancer will have a better chance of survival.
So, head on down to Sanya!

read my post again. I was asking the question about "sanctions".4 day or even a month is not good measure for out come.
see this history of Tajikistan war and that was practically without any Airpower support and much difficult terrain. ultimately Russia managed to cleaned up.
Which is dumb pooping stupid. Why bother doing the misinformation and disinformation campaign here when it's not going to do jack squat because it isn't like we work for the CPC or some shit to be able to influence the Russia-Sino relationship dynamic. I am of the assumption that some of our fellow posters here are just expressing their frustrations, annoyances with how the situation has unfolded because most of us assumed that Russia invading Ukraine wasn't in the cards despite the show of force.You are! You wrote: "Interesting to see what would happen if..." I'm not projecting. I am only pointing out what you had just wrote. You have consistently speculate about some kind of China-Russia split in this forum. Its not hard to see what kinda agenda you are trying to promote here!
