Yes, the idea is just stupid. You can still work with it when it comes to actually claim territory, where you have to go in and then got the problem, that the defender will likely have fortified positions, prepared and all, while you have to take new ground and secure it and so on. But when you just shell the shit out of area, manpower means very little. In contrary: the more manpower you got, the more likely big losses are. There was the interview with an UK mercenary (pro coup regime) and he for example told abou, how not far from them a quite crowded military camp of Ukraine was hit by ToS-1. Yeah, those guys are just dead. He was also there in the beginnning days when the military camps at the western border of Ukraine were wiped out. They were just lucky, nothing else. Other troop buildings were just blown up with everyone inside and of course even whit some of their people, while they were able to flee, still were injured or even killed by debri. He also talked about the brutal corruption (as said, he's pro coup regime), how a whole truck with a hell lot of US weapons and full to the top with ammuntion just got lost. At the front, with control stations every few km, so it's clearly corruption.

@kekkoinen Child, a war is no videogame, where you got some magical crates lyinga round which are all the ammuntion in the whole war. What you were shown was scraps.

@kekkoinen Child: Russia not throwing away the lives of their soldiers is exactly the reason for the massive differecne in casualties. Russia manveured out of Kharkov and Kharkiv city ON PURPOSE. They weren't defeated there. In contray. They caused massive casualties to the Nazis and that's what warfare is about. Territory doesn't matter, your army does. You got no army left = you automatically lose all territory.

@Azaqa See, when you got no clue about the Russian army, why open your mouth?

You really shouldn't start with such odd math. That's simply not how reality works... Would have been better to take that example with the hospital and go from that. But explosions?

@Stephen-4722 She said "miltiary officers" like "police officers". English isn't her native language.

@danielc9967 That's not how reality works. You live in some anime show.

@kekkoinen Everywhere, all the time. Warfare is not about territory. Territory only got meaning in warfare itself when it gives you an advantage. You just don't take territory for the lols, especially because on its own its an disadvantage to begin with, a liability. You have to defend it, means you spread out your forces, which don't just magically multiply, like in a vidogame, where you just build another troop station or whatever. Especially new territory won't fortified and if further away will stretch your logicistics, too. When the territory isn't important, there is also noch much reason to spend all too much resources into forticating it or weakening other parts of your front by sending troops and especially haevy weponry from there to that pointless territory. Warfare is about destroying the enemy's army and in best case without any own losses (that would be the absolute optimum that of course can't be reached). Maximized enemy losses, minimize your own. Territory is what you take as you please when you have won the war. An enemy with no army left has to give you everything you want.

Rofl. Do you really take "better equipment" and by that RAISE the numbers of casualities? XD That makes no sense at all Better equipment and so on means that they likely don't get hit at all and if aren't wounded. For example surveillance. Most videos we see from succesful coup regime attacks are against some lone soldiers far away from main frontlines, where coup regime drones can still operate. Something they can't close to the Russian army, because the countermeassures get rid of them plus they use their own drones to cover the area. What an idea to say: yeah, they got better equipment, so they have A GIANT AMOUNT OF INJURED PEOPLE!!!!!! What?

Russia mobilized 300k soldiers to secure the new territories against terrorism and help with the build up. Yes, also to push further. Wasn't what they wanted to, obviously, but Nazy crazies and NATO fascists don't know when to stop.
