  8. @senioralexander6681 Where you got own numbers? 1. In 1991 Russia had 148 millions. By census of 2020 it have 147 million. After 2022 country left 700k and joined 7 million from UA. Now it have ~153 million. 2. UA in 1991 had 52 million. Last census they did in 2001 — 48 million. By UN rule everyone must to have census each 10 years, but they never made new one. Because they lost population and numbers are scare. Foreign experts made own estimations (by amount of marriage/divorce/consumption of bread/etc), so in 2013 in best way they had 35 million. In 2014 they lost Crimea (2 million). In 2015 they lost two additional republics (3,5 million). From 2014 they lost in total 10 million. From rest — 7 million (UN statistic) ran away from country. Nowadays they have near 17 million. 2. About armies and loses. Russia sent own troops only twice in 2022: in winter 120k and in autumn 300k from reserves. From that time never more because have no any significant loses. All rest who came are volunteers. While UA have permanent and forced mobilization for 2,5 years. Because they already lost over 1 million (700k are RIP, rest are invalid). Russian army is over 2 million — used just 120k and reserves (people who served in army) is 25 millions — used 300k. Russia have professional army more than population of average country. 3. About weapons. omg, whole USSR represent mainly military factories. In Russia whole cities is nothing more than military factories. By Russian doctrine it economy is planned to have up to 2 conflicts of high intensity (where from each side by dozen millions of people). While this is conflict of middle intensity (from each side is less than 1 million). Russia already used more missiles than combined West produced for last 20 years. Russia is country with "infinity" natural resources, it can produce weapons for such kind of conflicts in non stop mode for several hundreds years.
