  1. >Ukraine said Russia lost more than 6,000 soldiers and more than 400 armored vehicles and tanks in one week

    Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making mistakes

  3. Tank losses?
    My favorite article in the last days:
    “Uralvagonzavod needs hundreds of workers”
    https://v–tagile-ru.translate.goog/novosti-nizhnego-tagila/obshchestvo/uralvagonzavodu-nuzhny-sotni-rabochikh?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
    “There remains a personnel shortage in Nizhny Tagil: at the last job fair at the Employment Center, 12 employers presented 302 vacancies for almost 1,300 jobs.
    The largest number of workers is required at Uralvagonzavod – 720 people for 56 vacancies, reports Tagil Worker.
    It should be noted that a year ago the company had 43 vacancies for 514 jobs.
    Employees for the defense enterprise are being sought throughout the country.
    UVZ is also negotiating with the GUFSIN (Federal Penitentiary Service) about attracting labor from convicts from correctional centers.
    It is known that more than 100 convicts already work at the enterprise, another 160 people provide services to the plant at the production sites IK-12 and IK-13.
    In the city as a whole, the personnel shortage has reached record levels: the number of open vacancies in the Employment Center has grown to 4.6 thousand, which is the maximum in recent years.”
    … 302 vacancies for almost 1,300 jobs …
    should be read as 302 job offers for almost 1300 workers (work places).
    I presume that it is known that UralVagonZavod in Nizhni Tagil is the (AFAIK only) manufacturer of tanks like T-90M.

  4. They learned the only lesson that matters to them: a competent officer who seeks to win the war will seek to remove Russia’s biggest obstacle (ie Shoigu and friends)
