Its widely known that ruskies are full of ****. Their super duper missiles are piece of crap. Everything looks good on paper, but in real like doesn't work. I wouldnt be surprised if they only have 5 working nuclear rockets, which is still 5 too many
Ramp up numbers
Where are these numbers going to come from
Putin would probably love to know too
You really need to understand this
Russia has already given everything it has in troops, now its just sucking up the dregs and sending that
All there cards have been played and its still NO
They work perfectly, but the buttons and computers to launch them have been pilfered and sold off through the back door for cash , and there’s old Nintendo buttons in place for the stock take .
Why did that ex Paratrooper who quit active duty in Ukraine due to the logistical and training fiasco that is the RuSSian army, say it's more like 100000? No weapons, equipment, food... Link was posted here earlier tiday
So are you saying Russia has a lot of spare military equipment elsewhere in the country, which they can send to Ukraine any time they want, and conquer the whole country?
Your whole argument based off what's claimed on paper and what is actually reality,
The reality is Russia doesn't have an unlimited supply of trained, well equipped and professional motivated soldiers ,they have lost a sizeable number of their airforce and helicopters in Ukraine against a smaller and mainly volunteer force
Are you saying that every Internet fact based company , politician, gov agency, Google, Wikipedia, the media are all wrong about Russian military numbers but you are right.
Google and see yourself. I think you don't know your data
No but plenty to annex Eastern Ukraine . Check back in in January and we will see what has happened.

All data on paper means nothing when reality kicks in
The Russians dont know their own data so how could anyone else.
How many of the latest tanks, helicopters and jets were they supposed to have.
How many do they actually have that work.
That is replicated down the whole logistics and equipment chain.
Not unlimited no but most estimates put the figure at around 1 million in the entire military
200,000 are the invading force.
Again intelligence agencies , media Google, US Military , UK Military etc etc are wrong.
But your are right.
A force of around 1 million is the overall accepted number.
Again if you don't believe me you can check yourself what they say . No issues
Where do they get there facts from, probably Russian military, and we all know how truthful they are
i just believe what i see on the ground and the Russians dont have anywhere near your numbers, otherwise they would be winning
Again i ask you, why is Russia recruiting from prison's and kidnapping people of the street to serve in there army if they have such a big reserve of highly trained soldiers, please answer this now, i have asked a few times
Really interested in your reply
That doesnt mean they have 1 million combat troops.
The 200,000 is the spearhead of largely frontline combat troops.
Russian invading force is 200k. This is what you are seeing. The total force is 1,000,000.
But you know the real story. Thanks for letting me know the truth
lets Pretend for a moment Putin’s been a good sport and not overwhelmed Ukraine… BUT he could.
These extra troops, do they leave the regions/borders with say China and the large NATO borders?
Do you want the breakdown of the 1 million ?
The 1 million is the total military. All soldiers, navy, airforce etc
The facts or the guessing
Yes they are wrong.
Show us western numbers of russian operational tanks, jets etc matching actuals.
Now answer the questions put to you.

Explosions reported in Kharkiv
All I'm doing is answering questions.
Will you change your mind I do? Or will you just move onto something else?
You are saying Google, fact based companies, media ,government organisations etc are all wrong but you are right? Just to be clear
Do you understand the difference between combat troops and total military manpower?
Where do you think Russias frontline combat troops are concentrated right now?
Well I did use both the word troops and the sentence "total military including army, navy and airforce " so yes is the answer. Clearly I know the difference.
From the Google, US government, Media , fact based companies etc are all wrong but I'm right guy
I won't be replying to you again.
You havent answered a single question. You cant even answer the last question directly put to you in this reply because you know if you answer it it cuts the legs put from under your argument.
Show us where the media figures were correct.
How exactly do these organisations count the number of operational russian tanks? Do they wander round russian bases? Or are they basing it on the potemkin numbers Russia puts out?
So dont repeat nonsense that western organisations have established how many operational tanks etc Russia has.
And yet again you fail to respond when asked where russias combat troops are concentrated.
Tones, this is a very informative read if you genuinely believe those Russian troop numbers.
Russia is all in on a pair of twos.
Like many before you you are only considering the raw data. Since the start of this war Russian military power has been shown to be deeply flawed.
Russia would have mobilized by now if it could have. Mobilization is a risk. First the 70 million figure that is 50% of the total Russian population, men women and children. More likely amount of the population that is fit for service is 20-25 million a huge figure still but that would be draining the country of every sort of worker.
If the Yanks go to war they do not send in conscripts. They send in professional troops. The Russian army is a conscript army. On paper it seems great but in reality it's a logistical nightmare. Look at the writing of the professional paratrooper who wrote in his memoir there is links to it 4-6 pages back.
No boots rusty guns no sling on the rifle. Training office went missing. Mobilization would be a disaster. You would have former conscripts going into a war with poor training originally now receiving maybe no extra training and up against precision military equipment and what is becoming an experienced Ukrainian army.
Then you have the logistical issues. Russia has failed to manage to achieve air superiority even over the battlegrounds in Ukraine. These raw troops would have no access to APV's and the much vaunted Russian tank army is decimated.
This mobilized army might literally have to march to the front. This would be akin to the US calvary against the red Indians or the British Army against the Zulu nation.
They can't supply or feed the muppets they have there already. How do you expect them to handle another 200k. Maybe they'll carve them sticks in the shape of a gun and shout pew pew, pew pew at the Ukrainians.
That's a great point and we'll written . Our argument is if they have the troops then where are they? And the logistics of full mobilization of conscripts .
You don't believe that there are any more while I believe that the general accepted figure is accurate and that Putin will send another 100 or 200 thousand in winter. Out of desperation perhaps.
Sure we will see.
Neither of us actually know
Haha. Pew pew. Very good. Maybe so!
