I wouldn’t call those links reliable sources, more like “imaginative projection”. Remember when NATO bombed little Serbia for 79 days and engaged in a media blitz with mindboggling projection of Serbian army loses, only to discover after Kumanovo agreement that only 13 (in words, thirteen) armoured vehicles were actually hit. Generals openly stated afterwards they were lucky not to commit ground forces based on these projections since the opponents strength was not diminished. Serbia only surrendered when NATO started hitting power stations, water facilities, food factories and realised the NATO lunacy wasn’t going to stop on its own, sending Serbia to the stone age.
