Russia's War Machine Is Collapsing Inside - Jason Jay Smart
Russias war machine is breaking down from the inside as insiders, generals, and even state television anchors begin to admit what the battlefield already shows. Ukraines precision strikes have crippled radar systems, power grids, and fuel depots from the Black Sea to the Volga, cutting through the illusion of Russian control. Each fire, outage, and derailment reveals a military stretched past its limits and a regime struggling to maintain command. The failures that once seemed isolated now form a pattern of national exhaustion and quiet panic within the Kremlin.
Inside Russia, partisan groups are escalating their attacks on railways, substations, and military communications. Explosions in Bryansk, Kursk, and Rostov are no longer rare incidents but part of a spreading internal resistance. The FSB calls it sabotage while secretly purging its own ranks. Generals disappear, officers are detained, and fear begins to replace discipline in the field. Power lines collapse, rail freight stalls, and the chain of command fractures under its own pressure.
The same picture repeats from Crimea to Moscow. Air defense radars go dark, ports burn, and trains carrying ammunition and fuel grind to a halt. Every week brings another sign that the Russian state is burning resources faster than it can replace them. What began as a war of aggression now looks like a fight for survival inside Russia itself. The evidence is visible in the smoke, the silence, and the insiders who no longer pretend to believe.
