Some sad news has come out of this Tehran summit. Iran changed course and decided to sell "several hundred" military drones to Russia. Some pundits claim that President Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia deeply upset the Iranian leadership.
Love them or hate them, Iranians can be
excellent engineers. Their drones will be effective. Ukraine is becoming a
testing ground where many different countries can test their military equipment
in a real war.
Neither Ukraine nor Russia will be honest
about their civilian and military losses. I suspect that Russia has had around
40,000 military personnel killed and another 120,000 wounded. I suspect that
Ukraine has similar losses. I can only rely on a statistic saying that for each
military death on the battlefield, 8 civilians die. This means we could have
already had 320,000 Ukrainian civilian deaths. What I see coming is a repeat of
the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s with over one million casualties.
