The numbers would definitely be considerably smaller. They are defending their own country and know their own terrain inside out. It has been shown statistically in the past that an invading army is likely to have the far bigger number of casualties (assuming that both sides are fairly evenly matched on the battlefield).
Oooo...
I fully expect that casualties on both sides to be horrendous when the full extent is known over the coming years.
For all the publicity (propaganda) of Russian personnel and materiel, the Ukrainians must be losing a huge number and keeping it mostly under wraps.
They need to burn a path right up to Kherson city, with impunity. NATO needs to make this happen. No ifs ands or buts...
Have you?
Caleb Larson on Twitter: "Have you ever wondered what the aftermath of a HIMARS strike on a Russian ammo dump looks like? Look no further. https://t.co/kzFqnjaHMs" / Twitter
Hopefully not the only delivery of Nasams for ukraine,
They Really need multilayer defenses around the cities and vital infrastructure
Sure, but if both numbers (Russian and Ukrainian casualties) are released by the Ukrainians, they're just going to be random numbers that look great. I don't think no-one knows actual what the actual Ukrainian casualties are. When it comes to Russian casualties, at least there are verified pictures regarding equipment losses on sites such as:
Might not have been destroyed completely but I'd say that there's a fair wobble in the steering, not mention what would happen if they tried shooting its guns,,🙄
Love it
Lol
Its always funny when Russians change their minds when their own family gets involved lol
Been happening since Mraps arrived in Ukraine nothing new .
18 ton high vehicles on soft ground it's always going to happen
Ukraine mud season is starting to kick in.
Whatever about us seeing these scenes I hope they are going viral within Russia itself. Perhaps people from other regions can take some inspiration from the Dagestanis. If everyone did this, all over the country, at the same time, it would present a massive problem for the authorities given how stretched they already are with the war in Ukraine.
Here's one of a policeman getting headbutted
Lines of communication have to remain open. No matter how this ends and end it will. It could end with Russia back to pre 22 borders, even 2014 borders, or Russia holding Donbas. Regardless, and it doesn't matter what side we're on at the end of a keyboard, at some point the peace will need to be brokered and maintained. That has happened after every war in history, or the war keeps going. War is another arm of politics and if we remove politics from it, where do we go from there?
I would prefer for constitutionally neutral Ireland, a neutrality acknowledged in the Treaty of Nice which we voted against until they acknowledged that, with a long history of peacekeeping in the post war period. I don't prefer Micheal Martin pontificating in the UN going with the understandably populist flow in a very non neutral fashion calling for Russia to be thrown off the security council because of their invasion of Ukraine.
We didn't come close to those kind of calls after Iraq(both times), or Vietnam, or Syria, or Georgia, or Chechnya, or Afghanistan(both times), never mind all the other proxy US/USSR conflicts where collectively millions were killed and millions more displaced. Nor was any reasonable person calling for all the embassies involved and their staff to be expelled. Never mind some eejits saying we should join NATO. And that's not whataboutery, these are facts.
Oh well Ukraine is on the border of the EU and that's what's different. So all the other clusterfúcks of imperial ballsology by the US and Russia that weren't on the border of the EU were terrible, but what sure can you do? Doesn't exactly paint a great picture of our worldview or supposed neutrality and you can be sure those nations not directly involved with this mess have noted this. And they should.
We could and should be the voice of reason, even when, especially when unreasonable horrors are going on and doubly so when they stop. Neutrality doesn't have to be passive, nor should it be.
Just a suggestion....
Here's more of the same one , ends with a cop legging it
Nice to see the Dagestanis have a bit of fight in them. If their MMA fighters are anything to go by they are tough people.
It also helps they now have some of the largest Anti tank weapons stock currently anywhere,
They have received in excess of 100,000 Anti tank weapons, that's enough to destroy practically all of the Russians tanks and other armor and vehicles
Just need more like these to stand up and so no more
Unlike the last time Ukraine will have mined the border to bits. And they'll have plenty of well trained anti armour reservists waiting to strike. There won't be any element of surprise. If Russia wants to fast track the destruction of their armour and mass deaths of newly recruited troops then yeah it would make sense.
Ukraine are not committing all their troops to the front. They have a huge number in reserve.
Besides this I'm getting restless now waiting for Lyman to fall. Hopefully this doesn't take much longer. Ukraine needs to wrap up these settlements before the winter.
So now the New York Times is a pro Russian outlet now?
Dagestan women-
"Ukraine did not attack Russia, we attacked Ukraine."
That's grim and depressing. I'm sure some of the Slava Ukraine lot will soon appear and tell us Ukraine is deliberately spreading misinformation so as to give the Russians false hope then take them by surprise with their next counter attack.
But to those of us in the real world it's a reminder: war is hell and no, Ukraine is not going to take back the entire east and Crimea before the clocks change as some were predicting 2-3 weeks ago.
I predict a long, brutal winter of attrition. Hopefully, in the end, Ukraine will prevail
Compare to Ukrainans losers they are huge,
Ukraine said they lose about 50 men per day roughly about 300 lost in the same time as Russian losses is 2200 men .
Something like 360 men killed per day every 6-7 day's
Not including the vehicle and other equipment losses
Also it is not counting burned out artillery, broke down tanks, trucks & etc.
Supposed we haven't had the daily pro Russian update in a few days .
Whoever's commanding the Ukrainian forces in this part of the front should be sacked
There's always going to loses and casualties can't sack commanders every time a soldier gets killed.
Its not done Russia any good now had it
I think Ukraine can call up more than 2 million.
From a Russian legal point of view they couldn't.
Russian law dictates that conscripts cannot be sent to fight outside Russia. Apparently one of the goals of the referenda was to make it so that it would be legal to send all of the conscripts being mobilised to the front lines without breaking that law. Since Kyiv (and Kharkiv) will still be considered part of Ukraine, conscripts wouldn't be allowed to be sent there.
Now obviously they could always just create a new law if they wanted but for now it doesn't look likely.
