For instance, like loosing more than 70% of all its tanks since the beginning of invasion[1]?
> The idea that Ukraine can resist the fully mobilized Russian Federation - military and industry is plain silly.
The idea that amateurs with zero military training could achieve more than 235,000 killed or wounded professional Russian soldiers achieved in the last 7 months sounds pretty unbelievable to me.

- sorokod 4y agoUnbelievable indeed, you may be interested in the numbers published by the Ukranian MoD: https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/news/2022/09/29/the-total-combat-losses-of-the-enemy-from-24-02-to-29-09/ https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/news/2022/09/29/the-total-combat-l...
- krn 4y agoThe numbers are exactly the same – only the number of wounded Russian soldiers (175,740) is missing in your source. (Maybe because Ukraine's Ministry of Defence is only counting complete "liquidations".)

- _kbh_ 4y agoAccording to independent visual analysis Russia have lost roughly 1100 tanks, about half of Ukraines claims. https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-docum... That’s still a huge amount of tanks to lose in 8 months. It’s no wonder they are cracking out the T62s already.
