It's just another psyop. The only information you are getting from either side right now is just psyops and disinformation. As expected, it is an actual war, after all. Russia claimed they had zero losses after the first day. then Ukraine comes out and claims they killed 2000 russian soldiers on the very first day, with like 100 tanks and 500 APCs. All in one day, lol. All sorts of other wild claims from both sides, and I'd expect this one is too. One of them is now claimed to be fake by the other side. Alikhan Dasaev is supposedly a long time resident of Kiev and a Ukrainian citizen of 20 years. Allegedly, the video was made soon after Chechens allegedly dispatched 10,000 spec op troops to Ukraine in order to storm Kiev. Chechens are renowned to be fearless fighters, but what an incredibly overstated number, why not one billion gazillion of navy seals? source: https://novayagazeta-livejournal-com.translate.goog/16360931.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://novayagazeta-livejournal-com.translate.goog/16360931...

There are an awful lot of videos of burned out columns of Russian military vehicles. https://twitter.com/RALee85 https://twitter.com/RALee85 Current Ukrainian claims of Russian losses may be inflated, but it’s hard to tell from outside: 27 Planes, 26 Helicopters, 146 Tanks, 706 Armoured vehicles, 49 Cannons, 1 Buk missile launcher, 4 Grad missile launchers, 30 Cars, 60 Cysterns, 2 UAVs, 2 Ships/boats, 4300 Personnel.

  with this much damage, I'd think we'd see WAY MORE videos, and some actual security experts agree on that too: https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/status/1497717078085804037 https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/status/1497717078085804037

    I can't operate a SAM at the same time as the camera app. There may be good reasons for the dearth of footage.

    Here is a list of losses for which there is video evidence https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-docum... I would assume the number without publicly available video to be 5–10x higher.
