I think the recon ability of those drones is far more valuable than their firepower. Combined with the range of the MLRS that they're getting they'll be able to hit huge chunks of russian held territory.

Ukraine loosing 100 soldiers a day dead and 500 wounded.
I hope some wake up from the delusion of a peaceful Europe. Europe has never been, and never will be, at peace.
In reality Europe is about managing endless conflict.
I'd say they are loosing far more soldiers on Russia than 100 - I'd say it's in the many thousands as they look to force Russia out of their country.
I wonder if anyone has a source for an estimate of Ukrainian deaths (soldiers, rather than the many civilians Russia is also killing).
Peace and Neutrality Alliance
Sounds like something Putin would be all over giving financial support.
Zelenky has said between 80-100 a day is the average,so day 98 make it 9800.Severodonetsk has claimed more than the average.
Civilian deaths are much higher if we go off Zelenskys average as Mariupol may have 20'000
little by little.
2 more aircraft yesterday
...
100 per day only applies to the recent battles in the east. It was not like this from the beginning.
I hope you are correct but attack/defence is usually a ratio of 3/1.If Russia have lost 30'000 then the maths predict 10'000.Ukraine have been more clever than Russia as they are not using canon fodder tactics as they respect their soldiers
This was the projected tale of the tape as the invasion was beginning or about to begin and in Russia's case more of an estimate of overall forces available rather than what was committed to fight in Ukraine. Even allowing that, the percentages that Ukraine has been able to neutralise/destroy are not inconsiderable, but rather more so when you factor in what Russia has committed and what is likely serviceable or usable.
It was a turkey shoot for the Ukrainians for the first few weeks of the war. Maybe 6 or 8 thousand?
Is there a Ukrainian version of that?, hard to believe Ukraine has many fighters or helicopters left if Russia lost that many..
As much as I'd like it to be true, many of these are propaganda figures. For more accurate loss counts check Oryx.
The Oryx figures are considered to be approx. 20% below the real figure (recent captured Russian documents on losses demonstrated this)
Still staggering figures in there, e.g. Ukrainians have taken out 750 Russian main battle tanks, capturing almost a third of them
What's more, Ukraine's command & control system is far less centralised, even company commanders and platoon leaders have significantly more tactical freedom than their counterparts in the Russian armed forces. This was introduced as part of the 2014 military reforms that saw Ukraine step away from the highly centralised command model that had been prevalent in the Red Army and Warsaw Pact forces. So if things get too "hot" in a certain location, the decision to move to a more advantageous position can be made on the spot, rather than having to go up the chain to HQ and back.
Some hope of that.. will take years for us to wrestle with our conscience and see who comes out on top.
Unless of course, a few hostile Russian or Chinese warships sailed into Cork - then we'd be all over it like a rash, panic stations.
The thought of dying must really kill Putin, pun intended.
When actually is the last time Putin was seen out and about? Even near the start there wasn't all that much from him, seeing less and less.
Worth following this series of interviews from the American (James Vasquez) that popped up in a few video clips during the conflict. Back in the US now. He discusses the command "structure" around Kyiv and how a group of 50 of them managed to take out 200 Russians and 7 armoured vehicles in his first battle. He was on his way to his first assignment with around 6/7 others but got pulled into the other battle as they needed more numbers. Mad stuff. You can see him welling up a little as he avoids discussing some of the atrocities the Russians inflicted on the locals in liberated areas.
N. Korea in Russian. Sad that a country has militarism for its religion.
..
On one hand i was worried that the land around Kiev was now dry and easier for tanks to move across, but now the Ukrainians have had time to prepare their cities in the west it wont be easy getting anywhere near them

Not sure how that related to what I said. Are you sure you quoted the right post?
... a few hostile Russian or Chinese warships sailed into Cork ...
Ah, gentrification! 😉
My bad. Interesting stats. though.
Nice gesture.
In fairness if some randomer asked me for my personal details to be input into his ipad I'd tell him to jog on too.
Isn't that what he's already doing ?
