@Attila_P 80% of the combat ground force of Russia in Ukraine. You can't send soldiers from fleet or missiles units or air defense units or intelligence or electronic war units or air force support units to fight on the ground in Ukraine. Russia doesn't have well trained soldiers to send to fight to Ukraine. The best units ( paratroopers, special forces) destroyed. 70% of missiles are used already. Russia doesn't have well trained reserve soldiers like Israel has.

@Attila_P You never served In the modern Army and you don't know how army works. For every combat soldiers there are 5 non combat soldier. Also there are combat soldiers that not ground forces like Air Force , fleet, intelegence, missiles units, anti aircraft units, rail road units. You can't send those soldiers to fight on the ground like infantry, tank crews, artillery. Out of those in Ukraine more than half are Combat soldier. The rest sit with missiles in Sibir, on the fleet In 4 different sees. You can't send crew members from submarine to fight in the war in Ucraine. Also anti air defence units are not in Ukraine, despite some of them to take part in fighting on the bordering areas. Pilots needs mechanics and supporting troops to operate planes. You can't send mechanic to fight as an infantry. One third of Russian army is destroyed already in Ukraine. Not all of them killed, some injured or prisoners. 80% of the ground forces in Ukraine.. almost 100% of operational good tanks in Ukraine. Those in the storages are old and not necessary working. The worst for Russia that majority of their elite forces( VDV and spetznaz) are destroyed in the beginning of the war. Best pilots shot down and best tank units are destroyed. They mostly fighting with artillery and will have superiority 1-3 more months until modern Western weapons in Ukraine and Ukrainians know very well how to operate thus weapons.

You can't trust Ukrainian numbers. Propaganda works on both sides, not just Russian. I trust more Western intelligence that more than 15k Russians were killed. Also Russia owned 7% before invasion. Now they own 20% . Which means they got 13% more.

@Smithy18 Highly unlikely. There is no any significant movement already for 3 months. Ukrainians getting stronger with Western weapons supply and Russians getting weeker because of their losses. Russians improved their tactics, but they can't make their army much stronger, because of the nature of army in totalitarian state. They also can't get modern weapons and new trained soldiers. Their elite units ceased to exist. Moral is low. Missiles they used 70% and they proofed to be inaccurate to extreme. We didn't see significant changes since beginning of the war. And it will take 2-3 months for Ukrainians to train on new weapons

@Smithy18 They losing a lot of people. True. But they in defence now and when you in defence usually you lose less. Russians have third of their army destroyed. Best units ( paratroopers, special forces) doesn't exist any more. They don't have motivated and trained soldier to send into battle. And I assume they loosing more. In 2-3 months western weapons will be on front lines. And Ukrainians will have some basic experience with these weapons. Western weapons superior to Russian. It just takes little time to get used to. There was no significant victory ( outside of Mariupol) for Russians last 3 months. And they lost 1000 out of 2700 tanks they had before.
