I agree.
I just don’t see the ordinary Russian bothered by any of these deaths.
They don’t seem to care like their dear leader.
If Putin felt that the publishing of death notices is a good indicator of losses in the field I am certain that he would take TOTAL control of the numbers published daily. He would haVe to allow a certain number to be published though As the
ublic would be expecting some casualties
"Not to worry, chum. We'll very slowly fly you off the battlefield in this absolute bullet magnet"
The "end of the beginning" in Ukraine. Borrowing from Churchills comments after the 2nd battle of El Alamein in 1942.
Francis, I am trying to make out what your ulterior motive, if any , is . You ARE basing all your calculations on what’s issued in the RU media- totally ‘owned/ controlled by Putin ie those death notices. And you make ABSOLUTLY no comment on the other deaths that are not reported independant of the % of them that are based on the number of death notices. What impression/statement are you trying to make or point that you are attempting to get across.
They might just evacuate the casualty to a safe distance first… you know, using some common sense.
Looks like a great development.
Apparently Russia has been using 1980s era cruise missiles with their nuclear warhead removed and replaced with ballast according to the UK's MOD.
No, gas was never a big money spin for Russia, oil is.
Look at the break down of its exports
Losing Gas to Europe it can weather readily enough.
Oil is the Russian economy.
^^^ was just going to post this, cannibalising/degrading their nuclear capability.
But we’re not seeing any of that after 9 months of body bags???
...
This is an interesting read , it follows the arrest of a Russian couple in Sweden suspected of spying earlier in the week.
Another example why the Russian embassy here should be investigated.
Maybe Moscow Mick lent a hand and took a few rubles from the workers pay packets to invest in a pension fund for them.
Symbolic. Thanks to ein Fuhrer Putin.
Wrong thread?
It certainly is how ever I managed it 🤣🤣

Defense Minister Reznikov released statistics on Russian missiles
According to the available infographics:
Out of 900 (+48) Iskanders - 829 launched, 119 left;
Of 470 Oniks - 123 launched, 347 left;
Of the 8000 S-300s - 1020 have been launched, 6980 remain;
▪️Of 500 (+120) Calibers - 391 have been launched, 229 remain;
▪️Of 144 (+120) X-101 - 132 launched, 132 remaining;
▪️Of 300 X-555 - 150 launched, 150 to go;
▪️Of 370 x-22/32 - 250 were launched, 120 remain;
▪️From 500 (+360) x-35 - 504 were launched, 356 remain;
▪️Of 43 (+16) x-47m2 - 16 were launched, 43 remained.
It is important not only to state that the Russians have missiles, but that over the past 9 months they have been able to launch 120 calibers.

This is how many missiles Ukrainian millitary intelligence believes the Orcs have used and have remaining. Far too many remaining for any sane persons liking.
Question is Francie, do you really believe these figures, regardless of where they came from? Supposedly from reliable sources of actual nr of soldiers who were brought back home and buried in Russia? OK, but no verifiable figures for the thousands and thousands of those KIA, and left to rot in Ukraine? The Ukrainian figures of 85'000 dead + double or even treble that Nr injured, may be a little bit on the high side, but for sure, its a lot more than the figures you mention. What should be a flashing red warning light is the Nrs. Putin started the invasion with his 200'000 strong army, and even with troop replacement, by sept-oct, he had to announce a further "partial mobilization " of 300'000, and now they are talking about a further 700'000 mobilisation, or even a full declaration of war, with full scale mobilisation. For sure these figures speak of massive battlefield losses.
For sure Toby, had the west not intervened, and had stood idly by, and allowed Putin to take control of Ukraine, can you imagine what the suffering of the Ukrainians would have been like? Far worse than it is now or will be in the future. Because Ukraine would prefer to fight and die rather than endure the worse fate of Putin's rule of terror. But that has been averted, and Ruzzian push back is well underway, with amazing results, which has confounded all the nay-sayers. Slave Ukraine.
Interesting. Assuming the river is the border, then that was filmed by the Russians and posted on Twitter?
Are those water pipes that are left behind after the bridge was removed. So there would have been some cross-border co-operation before now and sharing of resources?
Mostly used by animals, no not Russians, wildlife I mean, so sad for them
Could be special Civilian /military / propaganda operation too. You know the ones Russia is famous for? Don't look at the war and deaths, look over here type?
Nope, its been the standard Ruzzian MO seems like forever. None the less, times change, and in the rural areas where the majority of the conscripts are being recruited from, (and incidentally resistance was met) by now, they will know how many of their men they have lost, and for sure, a 2nd mobilisation will meet with much stiffer resistance. The Kremlin doesn't give a damn, but for sure the families and communities of the deceased will.
Not too sure if they ever had "high precision" missiles. Unless post code -level accuracy counts as such.
War cost for Russia, 82bn.-
Prigozhin just got himself on the FBIs wanted list $250,000 reward, wonder if a sledge hammer will be sent to their office
The video has "belta.by" on it which is the state owned news agency of Belarus, so its safe to assume its controlled by Lukashenkos regime. I had a quick check on some English language Latvian news sites such as eng.lsm.lv and theres nothing there about it. Also had a look at Google Maps and couldn't find a bridge, though the search I did was pretty quick in fairness.
Surely even the most brainwashed Russian-terrorism spporters know that Russia is heading for very very dark days and little hope for the future?
Madness to be supporting such a suicidal ideology controlled by filthy-rich old men in this day and age.
We've had people on here to tell us otherwise
