  1.  @srabonx  so why is Russia retreating from the areas it annexed?

  2.  @kaloyanrosenov2123  wrong. Why did Russia need to draft 300k more recruits if it only used 10% of its available force? The draft proves that Russia had run out of soldiers.

  3.  @babitapandhare1889  Putin. He said they retreated from Cherson.

  4.  @dalecrocker3213  how so? Ukraine is receiving 200 tanks from Poland, PzH2000, M777, Patriot, Bushmaster, IrisT, Gepard, now Bradley, AMX and Marder. Doesn’t sound like depletion to me.

  5. No, they are not. While Ukraine conquers strategically important areas (P66), Russia is wasting men on strategic insignificant places like Bakhmut.

  6. And? Do you believe Soledar will decide the war? Why?

  7. Significant? Did they conquer the local dump again?

  8. Russian casualties are so high they had to draft 300k extra and sending convicts.

  9. It is losing, as the stated goal was Regime change, and they failed.

  10. While Ukraine may lose villages, Russia is losing cities. Get the difference?

  11.  @presleymeck  Cherson.

  12.  @presleymeck  the city? No, not a square centimetre.

  13. Retreating is called losing. And Russia is retreating for months now.

  14. The AMX-10RC gun is 105mm, the same as Leo1 or M60. Both are MBTs. So I argue the AMX gun is MBT grade (just not the most recent generation. How would you classify the Swedish Stridsvagn 103?

  15.  @samk2266  of course they did (and still do). That is what denazification means.

  16.  @matteuz7384  Russian first guard tank army was so kind to donate its tanks to Ukraine when they run away. Furthermore, what is artillery superiority worth when you: A: miss most of the time B: run low on shells Finally, how come in the last six months it was Ukraine regaining territory, while Russia was in retreat?

  17.  @matteuz7384  10000 of what? T52, half rusted away with no stabilised gun or night vision? Hardly a threat. Russia lost its best tanks, and now has to replace them with old equipment. The evidence is clear: Russia massively reduced its consumption of artillery shells and guided missiles. Reason? They burned through most of their stock and now have to be careful.

  18. Well, in German, an MBT is called a Panzer (Tank), and a IFV is called a Panzer (Tank). It is more about language what is called a tank.

  19.  @ArkBlanc  I know. But in German, an IFV is called a tank (Schützenpanzer) an MBT is called a tank (Kampfpanzer), a APC (in case of the Boxer) is called a tank (Radpanzer). What I want to say is that this discussion is about language, not technicalities. What you name a tank follows no law or rules.

  20.  @SHN0o1  you know what the classification of Marder is in Germany? Panzer (Tank), or to be precise, Schützenpanzer. An MBT is called Kampfpanzer. But they are all called Panzer (tank)

  21.  @ArkBlanc  please don’t explain my own language to me. The German translation for tank is Panzer.

  22.  @ArkBlanc  no. Use google translate, deepL or whatever. Look how tank is translated into German. It is Panzer.

  23. Depends on the language used. In German, even the Gepard is considered a tank, so is the Marder.

  24.  @Malusdarkblades11  well, in Germany, it is called a Schützenpanzer. A tank. This is the official classification by the Bundeswehr.
