  1. Actually it was even less - for Yugos. They took almost no losses and we know that b/c there were official counts before and after the war.

  2. Nah, I saw a T-64 smoked by Russian T-72 in the back of the turret - direct hit and only guy in the turret that was next to SABOT got smoked, the other two jumped out. The whole crew is very rate to get all killed. Very rare.

  3. Best method so far, take posted Ukrainian losses of RF and assume these actual Ukrainian losses. Divide by 2 to get losses of RF and allies. Divide by 3 to get actual Russian losses. Works great. Russia lost between 2000 and 3000 killed. With Donbass forces about 12000 max, probably far less, Ukraine, well over 24000, maybe as high as 30000 for total easily over 100,000 casualties. Russian forces could not loose what is claimed as they simply cannot have lost between 28k to 60k out of a force of 100k ;) Even the 60k seems astronomical if you count allies - Russian force never exceeded 170k. so this on higher end is more then a third! This is as of 5th of May. This is max for Russia. I judge Russians as solid B in performance, DPR a C and Ukrainian forces as a D. I.e. Ukrainian army is mostly a "mass" army, that overcomes enemy with just sheer numbers. Absent the numbers they are lost.

  4. Ukrainian side casualties are huge. They had lost tons of equipment captured. At least 150 tanks by now. 100s of other items. I assume their total tank losses (permanent) are now at around 900 tanks plus few hundred in repair. Ukrainian losses are truly epic. On one video made last week one sees a huge ammo depot captured. Their is like more then 10x the amount of ammo then what US sent to Ukraine! On anther video (which since I have hard time finding) I saw at least 50 vehicles captured, most AA systems of all types.

  5. Lets just say 2 days ago Ukraine changed their law regarding sending militia units to the front. Now they can leave their regions and go join regular army. You would not do that if you were not running low. Some brigades are battalion sized. All Russians need is to slowly grind on till Ukraine runs out... of meat.

  6.  otto Lincoln  Yes, they cannot keep trading men for time forever. The sooner they realize this the better for them. But it seems Z and his political guys for political reason will wait till they simply run out of men - but by that time it will be too late.

  7.  @jonathanm9986  They now have Ukrainian zombies!

  8. Just take their claim of how many Russians they killed and assume these are their losses. Easy. This means they are out at least 100,000 casualties. For a fully mobilized country they seem to have a lot of middle aged men.
