![<a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/russia-facing-internet-outages-due-to-equipment-shortage/">According to the article</a>, which is based on a report conducted by Russia's RSPP Commission for Communications and IT, Russia currently has enough spare parts to keep the system running for six-months.
This doesn't sound too bad, until we take in the facts that most of these parts are made in the West, prices for the parts they currently have in the country have risen by 40% and with the falling price of the Ruble leading them to get even higher as time goes on.
What also isn't helping is the current brain drain either, leaving Russia in a situation where even if parts were available, there might not be anyone around who knows how to fix the issue in the first place.
I personally don't think the war will last until the end of the year, but if it does last beyond May, it might be worth the Russian users downloading anything they want to keep now before things start getting a bit dodgy.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/338/166/19e.png)

2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Russians on Telegram React to March 29's Explosions in Belgorod (translated)
![Context:
There were unconfirmed reports that a Russian Military Munitions Depot "had exploded in the Belgorod Region of Western Russia,":https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1508878067468546049 near the Ukrainian Border. It is unclear what the explosion was caused by; State Media reported it as a result of "human error", but also reported attacks from Ukraine that injured 4 servicemen.
Either way, the depot in the above video appears to be a Complete Loss.

The Chad Stugna-P [Ukrainian anti-tank guided missile (ATGM); AKA "Skif"]
![Posted by: Ukrainian Memes Forces @uamemesforces 3:00 PM · Mar 22, 2022
TL;DR: Stugna-P/Skif (Скіф) is an Ukranian-made anti-tank weapon. It is similar in effectiveness to the Javelin or NLAW but the Stugna-P/Skif is operated via a remote control panel, not shoulder-held.
The Stugna-P (AKA Skif) is a Ukrainian anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system. It "consists of a tripod, missile container, PDU-215 remote control panel, guidance device and thermal imager."
[...]
"The PDU-215 allows the control of the unit from up to 50 meters away (with a wire channel)."
Skif/Скіф means "Scythian".
