  1. just to use a past campaign as a reference point. battle of okinawa took 3 months us military side =541,000 personnel (183,000-250,000 combat troops) japanese side 76,000 + 30,000 okinawan conscripts us military casualties 12,520 killed 38,000-55,162 wounded 221 tanks lost 12 destoyers sunk 115 amphibious ships sunk 9 other ships sunk 386 ships damaged 763 aircraft lost over a patch of land hat is only 463 sq miles.... now of course given circumstances time, tech etc this is the idea you can take from fighting a dug in opponent that is willing to do anything to defend theier land. ukraine is 233,031 sq miles... ukraine has 900,000 active military personnel plus 2 million reservists now that they've also mobilized civilians into emergency conscripts.... ok at a population of 44 million with a age group of 18-60 being around 27 million. but let's say you only factor in the men we're talking 13.5 million emergency conscripts. i think russians advances so far are impressive given their hurdles.
