  1.  @polarvortex3294  Mobilizing troops strains the economy, and it is boring and stressful to sit in a trench and do nothing so if it can be avoided then it is preferable to avoid war exhaustion and to avoid the battered Ukrainian economy of falling even deeper into trouble. And Ukraine does not have weapons for more troops, and even the army it have today has a shortage of training. And on top of that is it a logistical burden to keep more troops supplied with food and ammunition in the field. So its better to just fill up the ranks in the army with volunteers and avoid drafting men for a while. As losses goes up it will become more and more important to replace them with new men who are not always so happy about going to war, but the Ukrainian army will remain in fighting shape for some time. Doing like Russia and sending untrained, badly motivated mobikis to the frontline who are depressed and complain all the time will just drain the fighting morale also for the old professional army. Europe is now training 60.000 Ukrainian troops - and many of them are trained on advanced weapon systems like Patriot missiles and Leopard 2 tanks and such. So there will not be much training available for new troops. 60.000 men is just a small fraction of armies numbering hundreds of thousands of men.

  2. If Russia have 170.000 dead. Then I would guess that they have 170.000 severely wounded, and another 170.000 with minor wounds - if the Russian military was a normal army in a normal war. But the Russian military is not normal. It treats its own soldiers like garbage. Their military medical care sucks. So severly wounded soldiers die before they get any help. And soldiers with light wounds have to wait so long for treatment that their light wound turns into a severe wound. Add to that poor training and equipment, which leads to frostbite. Here is an example of what happens when you plug a wound with tampoons like they do https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CdGNIup0xEQ For Ukraine are things very different. Their military medical care is excellent. Severely wounded soldiers quickly get help so they don't die, and lightly wounded soldiers will usually be able to return to the frontline very quickly. In the past I believed that Ukraine roughly lost 1 man for every 4 dead Russians. But Swedens largest military blogger Cornucopia says that thanks to Ukraine's excellent healthcare are the number of killed Ukrainian soldiers probably more somewhere around 20.000 to 40.000 killed.

  4. 20-25% were considered heavy losses for a unit by the western allies in WWII. And yes fighting to the last man is rare. Especially on the eastern front where the motivation to surrender was very high among Soviet troops in WW2. But then you had the Japanese who fought to the last man. And in the battle of Lund 1676 did the Swedish Royal guards regiment go into combat with the Danish Royal guards regiment, and both sides fought hard and suffered 90% losses - which says a lot about how bloody that battle was.

  5. Little girls with their hands tied behind their back and shot in the back of their head. That is typical Russia in a nutshell. Keep your lies to yourself. You Russians are just like holocaust deniers. I hope your evil empire gets same ending like the other nazi state which you try to copy.

  9. Zhukov also each day asked his men how many toothsticks [Russian Soldiers] they had lost that day. That shows what degree of disregard that he held even for the lives of his own soldiers.

  10. The Russian army even brought crematorium trucks to ukraine to burn their dead soldiers to ashes to cover up their own losses

  11. The Russians want to believe Putlers lies and they are too lazy and too proud to ever question him about how justified this war is, but instead they rather go to Ukraine and kill innocent people, destroy cities, rape and steal. So I feel like the Russians actually deserves everything bad that is coming their way.

  12. Russia could not take Kyiv last year as you Rusbots promised. So there is no reason why I should listen to you now either. Your speed of advance is that of a snail. At this rate will it take 200 years before Ukraine is conquered. Pathetic.

  13. If you have a Russian armored vehicle capable of carrying 10 men inside that gets destroyed - then the Ukrainians count that as 5 persons killed as there is no way of knowing how many people inside has been burned alive inside, and especially in the beginning of the war did the Russian military have lots of equipment and little manpower so their vehicles were usually just half full of men. So this number is a bit of a guess work and estimate. This is what operator starsky once said in a video. I also think that body counts can be problematic if you say have a bunch of Vietcong in a jungle, and you order an artillery strike on certain square kilometers of the jungle.. and 155 howitzers, battleship guns reduce the place to rubble, and afterwards come some F4 Phantoms and drop tonnes of bombs and napalm over the area. So how will you count the enemy losses when you will in there the day after? There is nothing left of the enemies bodies after the artillery have shewed them up and turned them into minced meat and thrown it around hundreds of meters. And the napalm have turned corpses into pieces of coal and ashes and you no longer have any idea if the burned thing on the ground was once a living human being. You might perhaps see an arm or a head or a feet in a boot lay around in that area. But it is impossible to tell if that those things belonged to one and the same person, or 3 different persons. So little is left of the enemy after this powerful bombardment that it is impossible to tell if 10 persons died there or 150.

  14. Anders, I hope you decide to remove the Putin bot comments. I don't think they deserve a platform. Are western points of view allowed in Moscow? No. Then I don't think that Russian points of view should have any platform here in the west either.

  15. So why are you wasting your time here then Rusbot?

  16. One of the most important strategic places for Russia to defend is Kaliningrad. So if Russia truely was worried about a western intervention would they never keep this important position unguarded. But that is what they have done now. The entire Kaliningrad brigade has been sent to Ukraine, and was later on almost completly wiped out. So if Russia does that then I suspect it can could be because of either two reasons: 1. They are desperate. 2. They do not believe that Nato ever will intervene (because of nuclear weapons) so they dare to move troops to Ukraine instead. And their rethoric about Nato being a threat that wants to invade and destroy Russia is just that - lies, and bullsh*t rethoric that the leaders in Moscow do not believe in themselves, because otherwise would they have never allowed Kaliningrad to be kept weak and almost undefended. So Russia is an empire built on lies and dishonesty.

  17. He was using mercenaries. Forcefully conscripting Ukrainians in Donetsk and Luhansk. And when they were not enough he used Chechens. He hoped he could get Syrian volunteers and Afghans and mercenary troops from around the world - but the lack of entusiasm probably dissapointed Putin. So he cynically took me out from prison to fight, evil men who few would miss if they died in battle and even fewer people would try to defend their rights in Russian society. People in Donetsk and Luhansk and in russian prisoners were beaten and tortured to signing up to fight in Ukraine. But even these maffia methods could not compensate for the incompetence and wasteful spending of human lives by the Russian military. So the next step was to kidnap homeless beggars in Moscow and illegal immigrants and force them to fight. And when the game was up have attempts of a stealthy mobilization been made in rural Russia. Buryats and other ethnic minorities are choosen as cannon fodder in the first hand, while rich kids in Moscow and St Petersburg are spared to the last. Putin tries to keep this circus going for as long as possible without conscripting the sons of his own ministers and rich friends. Because when that day come when they are forced out to fight, then will people revolt against Putin and instantly end the war. So yea, Russia is a hypocritical society. They love this war as long as someone elses children has to fight and die in it.

  18. It could also be that the Russian losses have been understated even by the Ukrainians. When you fire an AT4 into a BTR80 and burn everyone inside alive... then it is impossible for you standing outside to know how many people are dead inside. And the same is of course true for T-72 tanks and BMP1 and so on. Secondly, if you make a HIMARS strike against a building behind enemy lines it is impossible to know how many dead bodies lay under the rubble - it could be 10 times more than you anticipated. And thirdly, with all stupid suicidal human wave attacks with massive losses of over a thousand men per day do the Russian soldiers die at such a fast rate that it is impossible keep up with updating the statistics and calculations.. so it is possible that russian losses have been understated by many hundreds of men per day during the most intensive weeks of russian assaults. So of all sources, Russia, Nato, Oryx and such.. do I still believe that the Ukrainian numbers are the ones that are closest to the truth. At least when it comes to dead soldiers and destroyed tanks. But I am not so impressed by the Ukrainian claims on warships. They have claimed to have sunken the warship Makarov twice now, but I am not even sure if that is true this time around.

  21. I believe a stealth mobilization has been going on, and it is the poor ethnic and rural underclass that are going first to the meatgrinder to get slaughtered. Few Russians will notice if they die, and even fewer will protest against that.

  22. Tell me a credible source for Ukrainian losses. Because there are none. Except for Zelenskys speech last summer when he said that 200 men per day were lost when Russian artillery bombardment was most intense. But what losses are now is unknown. Russian numbers cannot be trusted about anything because they are lying about everything. Their fantasy world statistics claims to have destroyed advanced western weapons that Ukraine does not yet possess, and they claim to have 200% of the Ukrainian air force and artillery and tank force. So everything a Russian says is dogsh*t. That leave us with only western sources at our disposal. And they have no interest in presenting the real numbers of Ukrainian losses. And even if they say would be truthful and present a very low number of losses - then would people (including myself) still probably not believe them, even if they were speaking the truth.

  24. You are misreading what he says. If Putin does not do another mobilization will his army soon run out of troops at the current rate of espenditure. That is a just a mathematical fact. And likewise is it possible that Russia will never run out of artillery shells, if say China decides to produce a hell of a lot of 152mm shells to them. But given the current circumstances where the old Soviet production apparatus no longer exist will it be hopeless to substain high russian losses of equipment and ammunition which cannot be replaced at the same fast rate as they are being used up. And manpower cannot be replaced either. Russia have lost its best trained and experienced troops. Those took years to train. Now they have been wasted. So now only low quality troops remain. Putin can waste them. Perhaps he can mobilize more. And have another 200K russians killed. And mobilize more and lose another 200K and mobilize even more... but one day it is likely that the Russian people had enough of all this nonsense. So even if losing say a 1 million men KIA, wounded, MIA, captured and so on is not a big deal for a 144 million country. Its still a big deal when it comes to the willingness for the Russian people to continue to fight.

  25.  @mabotyin  They have lost hundreds of thousands. If Shoigu was telling the truth that Russia only lost 6000 men in last autumn, then its incomprehsible that they decided to mobilize 300.000 more Russian men. Especially when they claim that the special military operation was going according to plan, and that 33 Ukrainian soldiers are killed for every russian that are lost. That smells like bull💩to me. Had I had an army winning with such a kill ratio I would not do any mobilization that would be unpopular back home and strain the economy. I would just continue to make Ukraine lose another 200.000 more and take over all land in Ukraine and bring the war to an end.

  26. Russians have told me that everything that the EU says is lies, so that number of 100.000 dead soldiers cannot be trusted when you use EU as a source.

  27. You are not allowed to take men from the Moscow and Petersburg regions or taking sons of rich and important men. And Russia is a country with an ageing population and falling birthrates. So it is not unproblematic to threw away men as cannon fodder. But you are right that a shortage of equipment seems to be the bigger problem for russia right now.

  28. You better go to an optic and check your eyes if you believe that 38% of Ukraine is under Russian control. The number is closer to 20% and it is decreasing. And you do not say what military experts says those numbers, so I assume that they come from Putin propagandists as no one else believes in such BS. "I don't know how you became a good expert" Sorry to tell you this Ivan. But it probably takes lots of hard work. Reading stuff. Doing critical thinking, instead of following wishful thinking and your gut feeling. It might be extra painful for you since you have a love relationship to Russia. But the truth is that Russia sucks and is crappier than other countries on this planet.

  29. Good luck convincing the Russian people to lose 20 million troops to conquer two provinces in Ukraine where nothing of value is left, and the only thing left standing is grey heaps of rubble from the cities that Russian artillery has destroyed.

  30. If i remember things correcly had Russia suffered about 200.000 casualties by September if one concludes that there was 2 wounded on every man killed, and if one suppose that the Ukrainian numbers were true. That certainly could explain Putins desperatation to quickly twist and turn the Russian legal system so that he could mobilize the Russian people for this war to quickly refill his manpower losses. Russia had started this war with an invasion army of say 240.000 men strong. And if you lose 200.000 men out of it then of course there was almost nothing left of it by the last autumn. Putins "quick fixes" of using more mercenaries, pushing prisoners into military service, and increased measures to try to get Chechens and Syrians recruited never came close to fill Russias manpower gaps. Shoigu said that Russia had lost 6000 men back then. And if that was true, then would no mobilization have been needed as Russia would still have had over 200.000 men still available to fight in Ukraine. But so big was Russian bullsh*t lies that Putin was forced to make a mass mobilization to get enough manpower to win this war - and only world war 1 and world war 2 had Russia done a mass mobilization before, so this was an extraordinary decision. And it would be very odd and strange if Russia would do such a big mobilization if their losses were not massive - which proves that Shoigu and Putin lied when they said losses were low and that the Special military operation was going according to plan. Creating a mass mobilization is not something one do just for fun. It is enormously disruptive to the Russian economy. And it is an unpopular decision to grab young men from their homes and send them to a far away war zone and disrupt their lives. So I bet that Putin would have avoided it if he had seen any other option. But with the high losses were there no other options left.

  34. Germany was occupied by the allies and forced to admit their historical wrong doings. It took decades to transform Germany into a pacifist democracy. Russia is on the other hand not occupied by anyone. And their fascist leader pumps out daily lies on state tv. So I don't think that decades of indoctrination can be undone. At least not without a military occupation of Russia. What can be done however is to contain the problem. Kick Russia out of Ukraine. Send so many Russians home in body bags that the Russian people gets tired of this war. And then can Ukraine and Georgia join Nato. And Serbia will join the EU. And with that are Russias last hope of rebuilding the Soviet union crushed.

  37. And meanwhile are russians hysterical about the coming Ukrainian counter-offensive and build fortifications despite Ukraine is about to lose any day now 🙄 Ruskies say Ukraine is losing, and yet they spend over a year trying to take over the country and has so far not succeded and been forced to retreat from Kyiv, Sumy, Snake island, Charkiv oblast and Khersun. The Russian state propaganda says the russians are losing because they are fighting Nato. But here you are talking about Ukraine and not Nato. You Russians constantly contradict yourself. One time you deny that Russia is fighting a war in Ukraine. And then you turn around and shout "proxy war!!". And now you go on about Ukraine, despite Russia says that this war is mainly not fought against Ukraine. And no Russia cannot win this war. It first have to kill 8.000.000 nato mercenaries and 50.000 nazi tanks. And Russia does not stand a chance against an enemy equipped with advanced combat mosquitoes. Russia could not even prevent its flagship in the black sea from getting sunk despite having the fantastic S-300 missiles on board. Russia is running out of men. While Nato mercenaries can die in hundreds of thousands and they will still win.

  39. That problem is already here. Russia now lacks counter-battery radars and skilled crews, skilled artillery observers and they doesn't seem to bother sending up drones to direct their artillery fire. Their gun barrels are wearing themselves out so they put old tanks like T-55 and T-62 into service to fill the role of artillery when there is a lack of artillery pieces. In the past one could see a battery of four guns lined up on a field in Ukraine firing on one and the same target. But now that it no longer the case. Now you only see 1 gun on the field. The Russians are spreading out their guns for an unknown reason. Perhaps to avoid getting hit by artillery as easily? Regardless is this tactic extremely ineffective from a logistical standpoint when you have to transport artillery ammunition to 4 different locations to feed your guns with ammo. And a single gun firing a shot at a target every 45 seconds is not effective either. Preferbly one wants to fire all guns at once at a single target, but not the Russians. They only use one gun at one target independently. And nor do they bother to correct their artillery fire when it misses, by say 200 meters. But instead it fire again and again at the same spot, like they are more interested in hitting a spot on the map rather than targeting a specific enemy object on the ground which they want to destroy. So not only are Russian guns firing 5 times less shots per day than the last summer - 12.000 today vs. 60.000 shots per day last summer. Their artillery fire is also more inaccurate. And the heavy losses lately suffered in counter-battery radars have rendered the Russian artillery unable to now fight off the Ukrainian artillery. The Ukrainians have since a few months back in time become very relaxed with positioning their own artillery and have been concentrating many guns at the same spot and have been sitting on the same place for weeks. And Ukraine got counter-battery radars like Cobra sent from Germany, they got better guns (Archer, Caesar, Panzerhaubitze, HIMARS, M270 M777), more high precision ammunition such as BONUS rounds sent from France or Excalibur sent from Canada. And they correct their artillery fire with drones. So their artillery is very precise and deadly and got a better range. Russian losses in armor have been heavy. Both for their tanks and for their APCs/IFVs. Their usage of old T-55 and T-62 tanks can reflect upon that fact as well. And they lack tank skilled crews, or at least that is the impression I get from their stupid noob mistake manouvers in the minefields around Vuhledar. Russia does also not seem to possess any mechanized infantry that are trained to assist their tanks. So if their armored offensives was a failure last year and got slaughtered by the Ukrainians, then I think this year and the coming year will be worse. Now Russia use older crappier tanks with even less survivability against modern weapons. Its crews are even more unskilled than the troops used last year. And the Ukrainians have learned a lot from the fighting last year how to deploy their anti-tank weapons. And now they got more options to choose among. They can now kill tanks with BONUS rounds from artillery, German anti-tank mines, and western tanks. And you don't need a javelin, Panzerfaust-3 or NLAW to kill those older crappy Russian tanks that are now used. You can probably just as well kill them with an AT-4, RPG-7, TOW or even the old PV-1110. But Russian tankers also have to fear drones and other anti-tank weapons that Ukraine uses, such as Matador, MILAN, Stugna-P, Carl-Gustaf, and Soviet made anti-tank guns. Ukraine got a broad spectrum of anti-tank weapons with all kinds ranges, penetration power, attack modes and production costs. They can easily rip even T-14 armata tanks to pieces with DPU ammo, javelins and panzerfaust-3 if the need emerge. While lighter APCs are food for Leopard 1's, French armored cars and CV90.

And no if it had been easy to get men from elsewhere to fight for Russia, then Putin would have already used that option. Losses are going up for Russia as less and less modern equipment, ammunition is left available and the quality of their troops is falling as better trained troops dies off and leaves only rookies left to fight.

  56. "men who have previously served" The Ukrainian troops says that resistence is much lighter now than last summer because the quality of Russian troops is much worse now after mobilization and Russian artillery is less and less deadly. Some of it could have to do with shortage of ammunition. But russia is also using older and older artillery pieces. Their crews are less trained. The artillery observers are less trained. They lack counter-battery radars after taken high losses in that type of weapon. So the Russian artillery now is quite ineffective with its lack of observers, trained crews, and its old pieces with exhausted gun barrels are inaccurate. They can still be deadly, but when you miss your target with 200 meters and do not even try to adjust the artillery fire after a miss to come closer to the enemy - then the effect of the russian artillery becomes piss poor.
