In this episode of Sounds Strategic, host Meia Nouwens is joined by four IISS experts to discuss the past six months, and what’s next in terms of military operations, political strategies and economic sanctions.

And a little bit more research: IISS is funded by Open Society Foundations, an organisation set up by George Soros. Its executive director is Hans Gutbrod.[2]

andyou left out half the quote . Wonder why?

"The 2017 Global Go To Think Tank Index ranked IISS as the tenth-best think tank worldwide and the second-best Defence and National Security think tank globally,[1] while Transparify ranked it third-largest UK think tank by expenditure, but gave it its lowest rating, "deceptive", on funding transparency"

This is just deflection on your part

You should read the complete article. It's a good source because they get different opinions .

David Betz, a professor of war in the modern world at King’s College London, doubted Russia was concerned about its tank numbers or the way in which they have been used in Ukraine so far.

“Russia can get tanks from storage if it mobilises which it shows little intent of doing. I very much doubt that they are at all concerned about tank numbers. They have many and they have good production with surge capacity.

“If they were concerned about supply of anything my guess it would be of Kalibr and Iskander missiles which they are firing rapidly. I know that their production rate is a closely guarded secret.”

Re: tank numbers

Ain’t that the same fella here trolling who claimed Russia had 2 million large military hence they will crush Ukraine (which itself raises questions as to what they been doing up to now)

Only for official order from Putin recently to find up to 150k troops to increase from current 900k military, it turned out 1.1 million people were civilian staff in their military

Sorry but I can't really post on this thread anymore . Iv been reprimanded as I was reported.
