The FSB figure of 90k are for Russian troops killed, captured or so severely wounded you could not return to action.
Wounded to killed up until the noughties was 3-1. However modern military medical intervention by the US especially has driven this figure to 7-10 to those that die.
However Russian medical intervention has been described as very poor with anecdotally figures of one to one given.
To analysis the 90 k FSB figure we have to guess the POW figure. I assuming that the Ukraine has no more than 8-10k captured.
Because Russian medical intervention on there wounded has been so poor it is not unbelievable to assume that most seriously wounded ended up dying.
That is why the 60k killed figure for Russian troops by the UA may not be too far out. 60k may be even where it is at but IMO it's definitely probably in the 40-50k figure from the FSB 90k irrecoverable figure.
It's called the wilhelm scream I believe.
I genuinely can't believe that's not a satirical video.
There are actually a few different screams in it, I do think they sampled that girls scream and use it about half way through the video - it's in addition to the other scream you're referring to.
It sounds like they've taken and inserted the meme scream from western movies (It's a scream you've heard loads of time), the FX guys put it in there for their own amusement as a signature scream.
2nd round! Still waiting on the first to show it's presence, any day now...
Oh and best not go to the doctor if I'll:-
Solovyov's certainly changed his tune:
Putin will move heaven and earth to get the bridge done, so it will be fixed very quickly. The strike was mostly symbolic.
Notice how they got the whimper, from that girl who was live-streaming when the missile hit, and spliced it into other footage. Obviously they enjoyed that sound. Made them feel all tingly inside. Sick b*****ds!
Great.
I spend the last 2 years threatening all of humanity, then...
...Putin: "Hold my beer".
I feel so inadequate.
60k dead would mean conservatively 180k wounded at a 3:1 ratio - recent conflicts see that ratio go as high as 10:1 or 17:1 for the US military
With Ukrainians being sent to mainland europe for hospital treatment the survival rates may be better, so number of wounded even larger
Huge toll - but Ukraine have all males 18-60 to draft also, which numbers in the millions
Quick pull it back up, your mask is slipping comrade.....
That means the Ukrainian 60k dead figure may not be too far off definitely somewhere in the 40-50k figures. So we can probably take it that the rest of there figures are fairly accurate as well.
How long is the war.........sorry special operation going on 27/28 weeks. 16-1800 dead as a weekly average and the same captured or very severely wounded.
It could be even worse than that as the FSB figures could be 3-4 weeks old
90,000 irrecoverable losses according to some sources within the FSB apparently.
Will be interesting to see how quickly the bridge gets fixed.
Ukraine supporters are saying 3-5 months. Russian supporters are saying a week.
The SBU exposed a traitor who supplied the Russian troops with coordinates for missile strikes on Kyiv
In the course of the pre-trial investigation, SBU investigators established the identity and collected a comprehensive evidence base of the man who supplied the Russian military with coordinates for missile strikes on Kyiv.
If any of the victims need replacement organs, I can suggest a source.
lol, that's as goofy as the time they photoshopped a Ukrainian jet firing a missile into a photo of MH-17 to cover up yet another war crime. You have to wonder are the Russian so-called intelligence agencies coming up with this as stupid as the people that believe them? Honourable mention too for the absolute clown who got SIM 3 video games instead of 3 SIM cards to fake a photo of a Ukrainian 'hit squad' in Russia.
He’s actually correct- I don’t do any of those things- I have a harem of comely maidens that do all of that for me 😛
When they come out with crap like this, it lends more weight to the theory that it was the Russians that blew the bridge.
I'm more wondering who the people are they have arrested for that, and what sort of example trial they are going to do.
I'd bet they are either long-term critics who they couldn't nail down before, or people with famous relations abroad.
Obviously they won't actually have anything to do with the bridge.
There's plenty of evidence to back up his reputation.
But yes, it does suit Putin to have that image of rottweiler on a leash beside him.
Oleksiy Reznikov, Minister of Defense of Ukraine: German IRIS-T systems have arrived in Ukraine, we expect American NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems in the near future
Great news.
Does anyone else get a sense that something is very off about the US reluctance to supply serious air defense systems and tanks?
The excuses regarding the tanks are cringingly patronising, being along the lines of 'we have decided whats best for ukraine and it's more old Russian stuff that NATO allies scarcely want themselves.'
They seem prepared to give patriot systems to everyman and their dog, but not Ukraine. I'd love to know what's really going on because it's whiffy.
Jesus lads didn't realise things were so bad for us here in the EU, I must be one of the few who still lives a privileged life:-
Thankfully I have plenty of toilet paper:-
So that's the truck they said was "fully loaded" ?
If you have a reputation for getting up early you can stay in bed all day. Surovkin has a reputation for ————————— but is it really true. His reputation suits Putin anyway
Not sure what to think tbh but hearing John Simpson say it was an interesting take on the situation. Maybe he's a putinbot now also 👀
The messaging could be a self preservation gambit from Putin: "I am the only one hold these guys back, so better you deal with me rather than have me ousted and these guys take over"
I don't know. I think this idea of Putin as a somewhat moderating force, holding these vicious rottweilers back on a short leash is a bit of a stretch. I'm sure it's one he's very happy to portray - supremely powerful, vengeful but also merciful is of course how God himself is often presented; the archetype for any despot. Kind of "my only fault is that I'm too kind to them", has he sends his hoards to annihilate his enemies.
The war is a collective Russian leadership effort, there's a load of them on the same page. Some will be slightly less hawkish than others, some might be more prone to ordering worse atrocities than others. Some are obviously far less competent than others. But they're all equally capable of doing unspeakable things without justification, and equally guilty.
Yes, yes because Russia have been so refined from the start of this.
There has been about 20 generals killed or fired since the start of this, weird soviet baby boss will be no different.
It's a measure of how bad Puttin is struggling, what they need is sophistication, they just brought in a bigger dumber hammer, what's the definition of madness? Puttin will blame and fire him for his continuing losses in the not so distant future.
Okay. Thanks for the advice
I was reading somewhere on the run up to the war, that out of Putin's inner circle (there's a Russian name for it) that's he's the most level headed out of them, and is usually reigning in everyone else.
