These weekly/daily body and equipment counts really don’t help Ukraine the way some people who keep posting them think they do.
It creates the unrealistic expectation that Ukraine is doing better than it is, and creates the illusion that Russia will bleed dry at some point and suffer a dramatic rollback like in 2022.
Help Ukraine by being realistic and not seesawing between “omg without aid imminent front collapse” “Ukraine so good Russia so dumb” – because the real situation in the ground is not that black and white. Both sides are suffering heavily but Russia can sustain this pace more independently. Ukraine needs support, not fluff.
>Moscow’s Defense Ministry does not provide a running count of Ukraine’s reported casualties, but said on Sunday that Kyiv had lost more than 800 troops in the past day. In total, Ukraine has lost more than 14,800 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, and 7887 field artillery systems, Moscow said.
Ukraine has had only 1000 to 1500 artillery systems. I was not aware, that they have already lost more than 500% of all of their artillery systems, this is really devastating. So the west has first to deliver more than 6000 artillery systems, till the first artillery piece will be available for the front line….And minimum more than 10.000 tanks and armored vehicles….
This is pure horror, Russia has already eliminated the whole army of the USA and additional all artillery systems of all NATO states together….and two times all HIMARS systems, ever produced…
Only 5250? They’re slacking. Come on, Putin, you were up there at like 8400 per week a little while ago. These are rookie numbers.
I don’t care what they say and how war economy they are going, there’s no way Russia can sustain those kinds of mechanical losses.
