@andrelaverdiere9181 In June 2023, Prigozhin said it was 120,000 KIA for Russian forces, including 20,000 KIA in Bakhmut from Wagner alone. When we break down the Ru Forces into: * Donbas region ethnic Russians * Mobnik criminal conscripts * Wagner mercenaries * Russian Army * Chechens Russian Army casualties are only one fraction of the whole. It is interesting that cadets had to march in the May Day parade last year though.

@DieFlabbergast Aircraft are left outside in the open, as are tanks because they don't have vast storage facilities constructed. The East Germans maintained their tanks better than Russia, and hardly any of those T72s were serviceable in the 1990s. I know Finnish armor officers who went and inspected those T72s for use in Finland, and they only found 2 out of a whole stadium of them. That was 30 years ago.

@andrelaverdiere9181 The pedophile Scott Ritter? Where would Scott Ritter gain access to Ukrainian Army casualty lists? Same question for "Russia wins today,the war is over MacGregor". That guy is like a broken record, and always wrong on his monthly proclamations. Putin just inadvertently admitted 360,000 Russian forces casualties the other day, as reported by a Russian ex-pat who listens to all the Russian state media.

@bilic8094 8-1 artillery advantage spread all over Russia, none of which is precision artillery like what has been given to Ukraine. With precision artillery systems and spotting drones, your first rounds can be effective or even metal-on-metal. With legacy artillery, you have to walk the sheaf in. Me: former Scout Sniper/Scout Observer, which includes acting as a Forward Observer with formal and practical experience with calling for mortar, artillery, and CAS. The units who possess precision artillery systems have an unfair advantage against those who don't, even if the barrel count is 8:1. Russian soldiers have stated this throughout the war: "We fire more rounds, but when they fire, they hit first time."

@Константин-в7е Prigozhin said Wagner alone had 22,000 KIA in Bakhmut, with 40,000 WIA. Russia and Donetsk People's Republic brought the total KIA to at least 50,000 just for Bakhmut. It would be hard to believe that Bakhmut accounted for half of all KIA for the entire war.

@bilic8094 How many 2K25 munitions have been made? Laser spot track requires TGT designation from someone with a Laser designator. Manufacturing of the guidance system requires semiconductors and quality electronics, plus controlled environment storage by disciplined soldiers and logisticians. This could explain why this system is of limited use to Russia, otherwise they should be taking, not losing ground.

@ragingmonk6080 Only 1/3 of Lend Lease material was officially published. It also included over half of Russia's Aviation fuel, material samples to build nuclear reactors, beryllium triggers, uranium samples, and things that have never been declassified.

@IamdeaththedestroyerofWorlds That was the point. The US is the only large nation in WWII who didn't lose a large fraction of its prime age males. Everyone else suffered tremendous prime age male KIA, MIA, & WIA. This further helped the US leap ahead industrially from the late 1940s to the present.

 @jeremyj8153 Only 1/3 of Lend Lease material was officially published. The other 2/3 is unknown to the public, and nobody has an answer why.

@tsubadaikhan6332 Even during The Great War, Remington built 850,000 Mosin Nagants, and New England Westinghouse made 770,000 of them, all with matching bayonets. The Bolsheviks defaulted on the contract, so not all were delivered. 77,000 of the Remington Mosins were sent to Czechoslovakia by way of Vladivostok, but all did not reach their destination.
