You will get 50 million dollars if you can pull it off.
Budget: 60 billion USD
Manpower: what remains of the Russian forces and anyone you can con or bribe into joining. No mobilization.
Objective: hold on to Kherson, Crimea, and Dontesk for 1 year (minimum), crush Ukraine (hard difficulty optional objective).
How do you handle it?
Like a true Russian, I will take 59.9 billion dollars for myself and use the remaining .1 to buy equipment that my subordinates will then sell.
firsty besty this is the way

If Zelensky embezzled half the Lend Lease, that means Russia is losing to half the Lend Lease.

actual russian answer
I'd take 55bil same way and buy 5b worth of chinese drones with bombs
Authentic answer
I squat.
I'd do this simply because the situation is completely unsalvageable, no matter how much money you throw at it. It'd take years before any reasonable plan could get up to speed.
>Option 1: succeed and walk away with only $50,000,000
>Option 2: fail and walk away with nothing but an execution waiting for you
>Option 3: bail out with $59,000,000,000
There is no other answer.
I storm the Kremlin and execute all the maniacs who started this war and declare the warmongerers dead, allowing Russia to experience merely a 20 year setback rather than a 30 year one
>causing a power vacuum in RUSSIA, where every time there is a power vacuum the government gets progressively more incompetent and filled with mafiosos
Truly, what could go wrong.
>"no I totally don't work for the US state department"
I will use the classic Russian strategy of pocketing as much of that 60 billion as I can.
What's sadder is that Shoigu probably posted this thread himself.

I give all the money to Ukraine to rebuild its army, agree on a ceasefire with Zelensky, sell all Russian supplies and equipment and pocket the money.
Then after a year Zelensky launches an offensive against a disarmed Russian army.
The 50 million is just extra pocket money at this point.
I convince him that we both take the 60 billion and split it down the middle and run.

I'd instantly pocket 10 billion, that's just the finder's fee.
I'd then spend the rest of it on literally coating all of Kherson, Crimea, Dontesk and all of the rest of the Russian-held territory with barbed wire.
Literally fricking head-to-toe cover the entire field in barbed wire.
It's fricking genius. No one can get past barbed wire that thick.
Here is my plan. I gather a bunch of nuclear waste, load it into a air bomb, detonate it over East Ukraine. East Ukraine becomes Chernobyl with the Ukranian unable to take it. We still have it have for 1 year. I get my money.

I guess you slowly bail on the LPR and try and turn the Dontesk metropolitan area into a fortress and hope Ukraine gets too confident and just rushes in like it’s 2014.
Dump all of the forces freed up by ditching LPR into trying to push across Kherson into Mykolaiv. Cross your fingers the ukies don’t push south from zap.
To be honest the money doesn’t matter. Russia can only buy garbage right now. Zero of their allies will be willing to help them on the ground. Mobilization is really the only thing that will move the needle for Russia.

Start dropping thermobaric FOABs on everything. Hit Kiev every day with one, even after it's already a wasteland, just because.
and how exactly are you going to be dropping them?
Tu-160 supported by ungodly amounts of chaff and EW.
I'm sorry Sir, all Tu-160s were interdicted at the Belogorod border. The mission is a failure.
By the Ghost of Kiev?
How many FOABs do they have? I imagine not many, just use tactical mini nukes, the soviets probably made hundreds.
You don't want to pollute the area you intend to take probably.
Buy new defensive equipment from Russian manufacturers, get 20% kickback for the orders. Conscript everyone in the dombass that is older than 14 and younger than 65, after 3 weeks training and than send them to dig trenches.
At this point just build tons of WW1 style trenches and spam anti tank mines.
The Dombabwe Cannon fodder spam should give me enough time to find a way to frick off and launder the 12 billion dollars i got from the kickbacks.
Plus they might actually work in holding everything for one year if i use Russians as commissars in case they retreat.
Also since i won't declare the losses of Dombabwe soldiers on the record the high command will like that the number of Russian dead stays very low.
Keep up the propaganda that the Ukrainians will torture, kill and castrate any of the Dombabwe traitors so they don't surrender so easily.
>Buy new defensive equipment from Russian manufacturers
they don't have the capacity for domestic production of arms and their imports are under embargo, why do you think they refuse to employ any PGM made in the past two decades?
what's the chances shoigu is alive this time of the year next year?
pretty good
killing him would be admission of defeat basically
No no, it's Ukrainan special forces that take him out with a car bomb.
Why kill someone who is incompetent? Just send him some quality oak, the smell will distract him for at least 2 days.
The wood spirits protect him. Shoigu will be one of the leaders of post-nuclear civil war Russia. The Tuvan Khaganate will rise.
Buy whatever equipment I can get kickbacks from
Skim 10% of the budget directly off the top
Disappear
50 million dollars AND your entire wood collection. All of it. No exceptions.
Money isn’t going to do much because the main problem is human resources not gear. Also there’s nowhere to buy gear; not even China is selling them truck engines anymore, forget military stuff. I could entice white Slavs from the western districts with high pay but I doubt there’s enough bodies to make a large difference.
That 60 billion needed to be spent years BEFORE the war started.
I immediately use the funds to recruit mercenaries to round up all non disillusioned willing troops to turn around and flow forth with the ukrainians torwards moscow and the kremlin we will torture putin in the most inhumane way's possible prolonging his suffering indefinitely.. vladimir lenin's tomb will be turned into a public toilet that joseph stalin's remains will be thrown into, in the response of all of the innocent peope who have died because of communism
I embezzle the 60 billion dollars and live on a yacht in cyprus.
I feel that pocketing the money and just turning him over to Ukraine would actually be more likely to save his life from suicide via defenestration
>How do you handle it?
Withdraw from all non-Crimean Ukrianian territory, hang Putin in Red Square, and declare a unilateral shitshow while issuing an apology at the UN and requesting the removal of sanctions. There is no saving this shitshow so such a show of contrition is the onlg chance of them keeping something which still preventing a complete economic collapse of Russia.
manufacture a video of a Ukrainian destroying a Koran and bride islamic terrorists to declare a jihad and help transport them to ukraine
Didn't they already do this to rile up the chechens? Also I'm pretty sure Azov already did something of that nature but then again I don't really keep up with this crap anymore.
Convince Putin to declare war because I need 600,000 to 750,000 troops. Have 200,000 of those troops invade from Belarus to secure Ukraine’s western border. Force Belarus to supply 75,000 to 100,000 troops. Offer Africans, Arabs, and other races that no on cares about $4,000 to come to Ukraine to “guard bases and supply lines”. Hopefully I can get 50,000 of them to join. In reality they’re only getting $1,000 and I’m going to confiscate their phones, passports, and other important items all while RT and Sputnik call this “fake westoid news, great and kindly Poccия would never do that”. I’m going to force them to zerg rush Ukrainian positions, and the families of the dead aren’t getting paid because frick them. Threaten Kadyrov with assassination and flattening Grozny unless he sends every able-bodied Chechen male to the front lines. Force Maduro to invade Guyana to distract the US. US invades Venezuela and can’t send as much shit to Ukraine. Russia loses a South American ally, but Ukraine is for more important. And we’ll take it from there.
>Force Maduro to invade Guyana to distract the US. US invades Venezuela and can’t send as much shit to Ukraine.
Honestly the French would probably get involved at that point too. And I don't Francce would need US help to beat Venezuela outside of maybe doing them a solid with air and sea transport.
Just to clarify, I was talking about Guyana not French Guinea since Venezuela claims most of the country.
>French Guinea
French Guinea was in Africa and there is no such thing anymore. It's French Guyana.

Buy enough military support to coup d'etat and take the Kremlin. Pull out of Ukraine. Give Shoigu a cut and let him rule an independent Greater Tuvan Republic. Carve up the Russia Federation for income to make the country easier to manage - sell Vladivostok, etc to China, sell the Kurils and Sakhalin to Japan.

China would not give tech transfer to Russia on the J-20. The time it would take before some Russian engineer or officer sold the data to the CIA for 50 million dollars would be measured in hours.
Other way around: Russia does tech transfer to China in exchange for equipment.
China just steals any tech they want from Russia now as is.
Not necessarily. They have some things like advanced metallurgy that China hasn't been able to copy yet.
>announce a total energy embargo against any country that continues to provide further support to Ukraine, effectively immediately
>(this includes prohibiting the re-selling of Russian gas to the EU by third parties like India and Saudi Arabia)
This won't work though. Gas doesn't get resold anyway and Russia already shut nordstream for """maintenance""". EU is already at like 80% gas reserves and building LNG as fast as they can. They will experience economic pain but that's it and by this time next year they'll be fully diversified. Oil is fungible so no help there. America gives zero fricks about any of this it can produce all the oil and gas it needs. Nobody else actually matters.
Though some of this might get America to give Ukraine ATACMS and let them use it directly against Russian territory.
The EU is still running on Russian gas exports, only now more of it is resold from other countries. Nothing really changed about where they get their energy.
>Though some of this might get America to give Ukraine ATACMS and let them use it directly against Russian territory.
Then if I were Shoigu I would detonate a tactical nuke on the Russia-Ukraine border in a sparsely populated area. It's not a direct threat to anybody else, but it would make everyone else frick right off.
>The EU is still running on Russian gas exports, only now more of it is resold from other countries
thats a complete fabrication tho
The United States is buying gas from Russia and selling it to the EU.
That's not how pipelines work. Russia's combined LNG export capacity is like a third of Nordstream's capacity.
If we can run the internet through pipes under the ocean you think we couldn't do the same with LNG?
>the only moron who actually thinks the internet is a series of tubes.
Smelly, dumb, frogposter scum.
Could a massive undersea America to Europe LNG pipeline be built? Maybe. You'd need some serious engineering around the mid Atlantic riff. Would it help Russia? lol no moron it would make Russia irrelevant.
Lmao what? We make our own petroleum products here, moron. I'm fact this whole natural gas situation is one reason I wish Trump had won. We set a new record for petro exports under Trump and he was trying to get Poland to install a NG offloading station
>We make our own petroleum products here, moron.
Just lol. You blokes literally invaded Afghanistan because you didn't have enough oil and natural gas.
Are you actually moronic?
>American calling anybody else moronic
Again, just lol.
Alright I'll admit I DID take what should have been obvious bait. That's definitely on me.
>Afghanistan
>oil and gas
Your brain must be smooth, smoothest there is.
Except it's not. Prove me wrong.
>protip: you can't
>detonating a nuke would "make everyone else frick right off"
lol, lmao even
Nobody is going to risk MAD over a tactical nuke partially in Russian territory that didn't kill anyone.
The only one risking MAD is Russia if they set a nuke off anywhere near the Russian/Ukraine border. Even if nobody dies, your basically telling the world that your actually stupid enough to use a nuke in a manner that isn't defensive in nature. You're right, it would scare Ukraine and the west, as well as the rest of the world. The entire world would come down on Russia overnight. It's the worst thing Russia could do.
morons like yourself don't understand that the moment that a nuclear weapon is detonated in anger, much less in response to a failed war of aggression, not a defensive war for the survival of your nation, you have to be put down like the mad dog you are to make it perfectly clear to the rest of the world that nuclear warfare is not acceptable or normalized. If the US, China, India, Pakistan, and various EU nuclear powers do not immediately launch a counterforce first strike against you and instead capitulate to your demands, every attempt at nuclear non-proliferation goes out the window. Literally every country will be racing to build their own nuclear weapons because that is the only defensive measure that you can take, which the current nuclear powers don't want because it both robs them of their superior standing and dramatically increases the risk of nuclear terrorism or warfare. There is no situation where using a nuclear weapon in the war in Ukraine would ever end up with anything less then Russia instantly getting glassed unless they've managed to lose so hard that Ukraine is shelling the Kremlin.
The true morons are the ones thinking the world will risk nuclear annihilation for Okraina.

This is literally not how NG works you fricking moron. LNG conversion is incredibly expensive and non-trivial even for low volume and without it you either have a pipeline or you have nothing. You've exposed yourself completely, well except then you go even farther:
>Then if I were Shoigu I would detonate a tactical nuke on the Russia-Ukraine border in a sparsely populated area. It's not a direct threat to anybody else, but it would make everyone else frick right off.
lol. Any offensive use of nuclear weapons is a direct threat to everybody else and everybody knows it. Even in the better scenarios nearly every single gaming out of it results in escalation to strategic exchange. Allowing anyone to use nukes offensively is completely unacceptable to everyone else, it spirals unstoppably right away. About the BEST case scenario for that for Russia would be that China/India manages to negotiate NATO doesn't directly stomp them or give UA free reign in exchange for China and India joining the full embargo, for real.

Your search would eventually lead you into executing Ukrainian military as well, before you realise that that is an international issue.
>Ukrainian military

I freeze the border the best I can: minefields, artillery posted everywhere, SAMs. If I have something that can do high altitude bombing, just bomber harris and erase a city from the map to make sure the message' through.
After that, well beyond HIMAR distance, I try and reorganize whatever's left of the armed forces into cohesive units that have actually more technical capability than just being thugs forced to fight at gunpoint. Most likely purge officers stalin style.
Eventually I'll just start advancing city by city. Even without mobilization ukrs can't beat me in manpower and artillery production.
only problem is the ammo depot problem, which I don't know how to handle since I'm not a logistics professional - but surely there's a way.
>can't beat me in manpower
faulty premise, Ukraine has an advantage in manpower.
>Even without mobilization ukrs can't beat me in manpower
Anon...
Yeah killing officers worked out super well for Stalin you frickin mook
So your plan is to leave the front line with skeleton crew, who will easily give way to attacking troops. Then just "reorganize" somehow into good fighting units with greater technical capability (please explain how).
Next you... 'just advance dude, lol'. City by city. As if that wasn't what the russians already were doing.
Also, you dont realize that the russians have worse manpower than the ukies and you admit to not knowing anything bout logistics.
Why did you even post this?

it would take decades of nation building to fix this
This seems logical.
A challenge I ask of you is how would you turn Russia around domestically and on the world stage?
it would take decades of nation building.
the russian economy right now is based on the export of raw materials like gas and cereal and import of semi-finished products with almost nothing inbetween.
for it to become able to self-source all these high-tech high quality products it would need a massive effort in building industries capable of producing everything from microprocessors to thermal cameras to whatever is required to assemble precision guided munitions.
i'd probably look at what japan, south korea and china did with their respective countries after the wars (and china after the 80s/90s).
it would probably also require a radical change in society, dismantling corruption, reforming the armed forces so that soldiers arent scared of their peers shooting them cause they took hazing too far, tackling alcoholism and widespread poverty.
the first step would be to just kill/remove putin and all his loyal aides to show the world and themselves that there's at least a concrete desire for change, then reopen to trade with the world and attract foreign investments.
bail his ass out? sex change operation in bangkok. begin a new life as a troony prostitute.
I'd probably drop every single Russian asset into Ukraine, since apparently a large portion of Russian equipment is being held back in case of NATO intervention. The problem is that if NATO decides to go for it, no conventional force in Russia will be able to fight them off. Their best bet is an all-in at this point.
NATO hasn't intervened thus far, unless russia decides to do something extremely stupid like nuking ukraine they will probably just keep supplying hardware and go on with sanctions and nothing else.
and if NATO does decide to invade then the use of nukes to defend home soil would be justified, if invasion happens russia is dead either way so might as well give a bloody nose to the invader before they go extinct.
I don't understand the idea to use nukes in the defense of Russia. It's either losing national sovereignty after a protracted defensive war, or certain nuclear annihilation turning the entire country into a desert.
they wont use nukes because as you said it makes no sense, they win nothing and would lose everything
the noook talks are mostly people who know nothing about war and geopolitics or people who want to scare others
Because your mindset is different. You say losing national sovereignty, but they consider it an existential threat not to the government, but the nation.
I embezzle 5.5 billion dollars and buy some stone age wood with the remaining 500 million and present it to Shoigu as a present.

Actually almost impossible, right now Russia's biggest problem is manpower. Even quadrupling the current active Russian troops in Ukraine wouldn't completely fix its manpower issues and this isn't even getting into actually being able to rotate troops.
uhhh re invade in the north
50 mirrion dorra?
THE DORRA IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF TOILET PAPER!!
I would tell him to go all in on one final assault with everything along a wide front including poland and the baltic
If they don't make it at least as far as paris launch the nukes.
If You were to take the challenge seriously, use the money to replace the Russian officer corps. Fire everyone whose performance has been subpar (so, almost everyone) and fill the roles in with kadets and through field promotions. It would be a disaster, but the officers Russia has are actively undermining the ear effort. They are worse than worse than useless. Additionally, bring all available artillery out of storage and set up defensive lines deep in occupied territory. Start sending conscripts into the fight again, say Putin "doesn't know" or whatever, as well as offering even more enticing terms to sign contracts. Ramp up Wagner's prison sweep, then also start recruiting foreign "volunteers" from "friendly" countries. Try to get my hands on former NATO officers and enlisted for training and organization.
I still think it would fail. The officer purge woukd be a huge gamble, of course, and a guaranteed unpopukar move on the home front.
How would you train the new officer's corps?
The ones in school might be ttained well enough, having not gome through the corruption ass-kissing game. Otherwise, the americans I've managed to buy could possibly teach some doctrine and specific best practices
>the americans I've managed to buy
OOOOHHHHH! Way down south in the land of sunflowers!
>How do you handle it?
I immediately dispatch an envoy to Mongolia, to seek assistance from the Horde in exchange for Russia becoming a tributary state (with 20 billion USD as initial tribute). Soon Ukraine would be overwhelmed by roving bands of horse archers and motorcycle gunners.
Create plans to sell off old weapons and tanks. Assemble the best engineers to develop proper atgm countermeasures to be fitted on new production tanks. Armor units will be trained to work with infantry. Pull back troops to captured areas and form defensive lines to buy time. New Infantry units will be reorganized in a way similiar to western millitaries. These will be replacing troops already at the front. Pocket 60 billion plus the money from sold old stock. Fake my death and flee the country. hide portions of the money in offshore bank accounts. Win.
>Assemble the best engineers
So none that are to be found in Russia, then?
The ones who paid to be part of the team
> mfw OP is probably an actual Russian officer trying to pull genuune advice from a joke questiin on /k/ because he is so bad at his job
Negotiate a peace along the lines of the pseudo countries Russia claimed to be defending. They largely support Russia anyway and were pseudo-countries even before this with a lot of self-governance. Use them as a DMZ between Russia and Ukraine/Nato and allow citizens in that region to either leave for Ukraine, Russia, or stay. Russia gives up any other land they captured, and can save face because at the start they technically said they were doing it in defense of this region, they can claim to their citizens they successfully did enough damage that Ukraine won't invade those areas. Ukraine can say they successfully fended off Russia's invasion. Both sides can show it as a victory to their people.
This is so close to being a good idea. There's just some small thing that needs to be tweaked but I can't put my finger on it
>build 10 scud storms
>activate scud storms
>???????????
>now you see me, now you're dead
Back in April I could have given you a solution, but right now there's literally nothing in my mind that could help the situation
>You will get 50 million dollars if you can pull it off.
>Budget: 60 billion USD
This is Russia we're talking about. I spend 10 bil, steal 50 bil, then blame the US for my failure.
Steal as much as I can and put the rest of the money into tank purchases, I'm sure Ukraine is totally out of ATGMs by now.
judging from some videos, they are at least wasting a bunch of AT4s.
this board is now completely homosexual reddit tier
how could this happen?
How could Russia realistically hold Kherson?
Considering that their supply lines get constantly harassed while having no reliable counters against HIMARS.
>No air superiority+proper SEAD to then bomb long range artillery
>No accurate long range artillery for counter artillery missions
>No reliable way to deploy SOF and frick with enemy artillery positions
Kherson seems absolutely doomed. Crimea and Donetsk could actually be salvaged with some mastermind strategy. Still there is no way to salvage Kherson in a military manner that excludes nukes and general mobilization.
Disable Russia's entire nuclear arsenal and invite NATO to invade.
>60 billion
Isn't Ukraine getting trillions collectively?
I would launder it and run
I would buy 20m worth of TORs and sell it to Ukraine and escape with my life to the West with 10m
frick the 50m the Russians dont even pay their soldiers basic salary
he should order a Hoover Max Extract 60 Pressure Pro
morons here commenting "just buy more tanks and planes", from who? Soviet factories already work at 150% capacity with infinite budget, and no one important will sell Russia any equipment. 2 countries that can sell equipment, already did and that's powerful giants like NK and Iran. IRL is not C&C where you can order 1000 T-14 if you have enough money.
Basically abandoned the entire Russian navy outside of the sub force, sell all of the main ships for scrap metal, put the money saved into drone technologies, abandoned Kherson, blow up every bridge across the din river, use spec ops for cross border raids from Belarus and trannista to tie up Ukrainian forces, allow the use of North Korean infantry use the 100k nork infantry to try another bum rush towards Kharkiv then use the Chechen cannon fodder to launch a smaller offensive in Kiev again to distract them, surround Kharkiv bypass it, burn every farm field you come across then send drones into western Ukraine to drop incendiary bombs on wheat fields, sub attacks on all ships from Odesa, this will cause a global food shortage and hurt western funding because they will do what ever it takes to keep africa fed this will also cause unrest in the Middle East tying up more western resources, use Iranian backed proxy’s in Yemen to hit oil infrastructure in Saudi again creating global oil crisis, drop leaflets over random cities in Ukraine telling them there will be carpet bombing on a random day causing mass panic and jamming road ways but don’t actually bomb them, oh and don’t frick with Ukrainian pows give them good food and put them up in a brothel with internet to send pictures back home also use the 60 billion to pay people to surrender also buy optics and NV gear then shoot the first fricker that sells it on eBay
I would just invest in artillery and trenches.
Like this i would make the enemy tire, is not pleasant to hear shells all the time.
look for commanders that show promise and aren't ass kissers
purge the entire upper military echelon
start recruiting moar soldiers and boost whatever morale remaining troops have
proper supply management
plunder the land
and most important of all take this fricking war seriously and not waste human lives like these old morons are doing
fricking idiots wasting resources and destroying any hope for support in the country
you had kiev encircled yet you fricking bail?
then you just play quiet?
fricking coward where is your fricking resolve?
yeah and most important of all since i lead the fricking country lead the army itself and boost its fricking morale
>bail his ass out and salvage the Ukranian situation.
having Putin shot and blame it all on him
if my budget is 60 bn to earn 50 million, then i steal the 60 billion
I take 50 billion, short roubles, put a 1 billion dollar bounty on Putin, take the remaining 9 billion and back to shitposting.
I spend 30 billion on building my weeaboo mansion of my dreams right next to Shoigu's, except mine is even bigger and better
organize a coup and find a way to flee the country in the chaos. it has better chances of survival than whatever the frick is happening now.
Detonate 7 nukes on Russian border near Ukraine. That will force peace. And then spend all money on external partisan and terrorists organization.
>detonate nukes on Russian territory
I like this plan
I pocket the money while Shoigu mysteriously falls to his death from a hospital window
Immediately ally with Zelenskyy, turn around.
Buy as much shit as I can. Drones, arty, AA, APC's, LAV's. Request nuclear protection from NATO and the like.
Aid in the reclamation of Crimea for Ukraine, in exchange for assistance in taking either Kaliningrad, or the Rostov, Krasnodar Krai and Adygea Oblasts.
Spend the next several years and any leftover cash in my budget making a comfy and healthy, if not the absolute wealthiest, country, with an industry based around fishing exports, farming, wines, tourism, and being a trade lane between Georgia, the middle east, and places like Ukraine.
Reserve myself enough (~5M) to invest in a couple good industries for income, build a nice house on the seaside, get myself a boat of my own (not a yacht, a launch, and not a super one), and relax.
