Well I must admit I’ve been aggregating losses from all sides to start of this conflict . And your casualty figure losses actually equate very similar to what I’ve come up with . The only difference is the amount of Ukrainian deaths I probably have about 10,000 lower than the Mount of Russian deaths I have about 10 to 20,000 higher . This is purely based on the fact of the Russian lack of battlefield medical aid and rather good medical aid supplied by the Ukrainians

You could write 3,000,000, it would still be impossible to verify.

[@steveosborne2297]

@@user-vu2oz1vv1p You’re right with certain extent we can’t verify any of The casualty figures , but there are standard ways of calculating them . As far as material losses go we have independent assessors and I would say that the Ukrainians overestimate Russian losses by about one third . Whilst the Russians overestimate Ukrainian losses by anything between 80 and 90% As far as casualty figures go about the only solid evidence we have is Russian , DPR/LPR obituaries et cetera at the moment that stands at 62,000 .

I don't think it's that suprising. Just look at the rest of the passanger list. It was the perfect offortunity for an attack. Esencially the entire wagner leadership was on the plane because just killing Prego was probably not a good idea. The rest of the wagner leadership could retaliate if they feared their end. Also wagner gave up all it's heavy equipment since the mutiny. It needed time to prepare for the end of wagner (leadership). Also they were extremly stupid because even normal companies never let all of their important leadership fly on a single plane or take a single train if really an accident happens.

[@collinlingaitis8872]

I've been curious for a while now: I understand the "more readily available" argument for the F16, but why hasn't Ukraine tried harder for the SaaB Gripen? If anything the gripen would be a better option for Ukraine. I would think because of it having rough runway abilities coupled with it being a more modern design and cheaper if I'm not mistaken.

[@HandleMyBallsYouTube]

Good question tbh, from what I know Ukraine doesn't really want these fighters just for helping with air defence, they want aircraft that can specifically carry and launch the Storm Shadow and SCALP. The only thing they have right now that can do that is the Su-24, which is a cold war era soviet swing wing bomber. Let me say that again, Soviet era tech with variable wing geometry, you don't need to be an expert in aviation to know that maintaining these things is an absolute nightmare. Ukraine doesn't produce the Su-24, nor do they make any spares from what I understand, and they've been flying missions regularly especially recently, or at least we can assume they have because of how many Storm Shadow / SCALP attacks we've seen. You don't even need to do the math, they're flying a lot so the stress these old airframes are going through is quite something. Sooner or later they can't fly anymore unless Ukraine manages to steal an entire Russian aircraft manufacturing plant, not that I'd count out the possibility of something like that happening at this point. Now I don't know a whole lot about the Gripen, but as a lighter and smaller aircraft than the F-16 I'd assume it can't carry the same payload, which might make carrying the Storm Shadow / SCALP difficult or even impossible. I also don't know if the Gripen is compatible with Storm Shadow out of the box, or if they'd have to get creative with it, I'm not sure how they managed with their Su-24's if I'm going to be totally honest. If the Gripen can carry Storm Shadow then I'm sure the Ukrainians have still done the math and decided that the F-16 is just better for that. Remember, Ukraine now has a very effective Air Defence network, hell the fact that we've seen them convert S-200 for a ground attack role is a good indication that western AA is working well, so the primary reason why they want the F-16 is to add to their long range precision strike capabilities. This might not be necessary if ATACMS was supplied, of course F-16 has been something they've been asking for before Storm Shadow / SCALP were even a thing in Ukraine, so I'm not saying it's the only reason why they want it, but it's definitely up there. Ukraine really relies on it's ability to disrupt Russian logistics, as well as diverting valuable AA assets away from the front to protect high value targets in Russia.

[@petriew2018]

low production capability means a limited number of available jets in the first place. Less then 300 have been built total, and the role they're intended for is not one easily replaced by other air frames, making them less 'expendable' than the f-16. The Viper is being largely displaced by the f-35, which is becoming increasingly available in numbers and fills largely the same role, meaning that countries were already planning to phase them out and thus could spare them for a country like Ukraine So logistically the Gripen is just much harder to justify giving away by the nations that operate it. Which you can view cynically, sure, but keep in mind there's a small but very real threat this war explodes into ww3 is someone in Russia has a severe case of the stupids one day, so every country involved does have to consider it's own defense needs as well as those of Ukraine. As with most things in war, it's rarely a question of what you need and mostly a question of what you can have in a timely manner.

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

​@@petriew2018 Wider availability was my first thought, too.

[@davidblair9877]

Ukraine has been lobbying hard for Gripen, but operating nations have so far refused to sell them. Best guess is that there just aren’t enough to go around. Almost 5,000 F-16s have been built; fewer than 300 Gripens have. Sweden, Norway, Hungary, and other operators just can’t spare them at present. That said, Sweden has recently announced that they will train Ukrainian pilots on Gripens, so I expect Ukraine will get some sooner or later. Most likely, a current operator will start replacing their fleet with new aircraft and donate the old stock to Ukraine. Have any current Gripen operators announced F-35 purchases?

That russian being a georgian jew really tells you shouldn't let foreigners run your show. Anyway casualties are probably 460.000 by now because they are starting to draft woman it means tney're running out of men. Also they are trying to force EU to extradite ukranian refugees for forced conscription. It means they have no manpower In the end when all of tnis is over the result will be that western ukranians will be extremely mad at zelensky and NATO. Joining EU or NATO will further estrange the ukranian population they are conservative not liberal or democratic. Most ukranians want a ceasefire but zelensky wants to go to the last ukranian and kill off the whole demographic. The bombed ukranians are in general not mad at the russians they're more pissed off at zelensky more than anything for not signing a ceasefire, every clown knows they cannot defeat russia which is a nuclear power The ukranian people will be enraged further when they found out they have been bought by blackrock and other corporations. They will get more pissed off when EU starts dumping african immigrants into ukraine exposing them to mass immigration and giving kids libtard LTBHQ education in schools. In the end over a long period of time i can see the western ukranians be angry at the west

[@LookHereMars]

​​@@mrshovelbottom7475 Going by the standard rule of 3 soldiers wounded to every 1 dead, Russia may have suffered upwards of between 50 to 75 thousand KIA. That is quite an attrition rate, and if we surmise that Ukraine may have lost a similar amount, perhaps more, perhaps less, then this war may have already claimed upwards of 600 thousand military casualties with over 100 thousand combined dead. Conventional war eats through men and material like nothing else, quite astonishing.

@@mhl56: That remains to be seen. So far, whenever Ukraine got some new and fancy equipment they brought it to very effective use... Be it Anti-Tank missiles which decimated Russian forces in the first weeks. Be it Air Defense Systems, which made the attacks on the power unsustainable. And even still forces the Russians to decide whether to bomb a Kindergarten or a military target. (Of course they choose the Kindergarten 11 times out of 10.) Be it Himars and Panzerhaubitze 2000 and modern Cruise Missiles which wreaked havoc on supply lines. Be it boats, which help to get across the Dnipro around Kherson or even land (however briefly) on Crimea. Be it de-mining equipment, to clear the Surovikin line. And once they have a large enough breakthrough, the Panzers and Tanks will certainly come in handy as well. And even without western aircraft, Ukraine does a surprisingly decent job in keeping Russia from gaining air superiority (let alone air supremacy), so it's entirely reasonable to assume, that (more) modern and more potent aircraft will shift the balance of power in the skies above Ukraine, significantly.

technically yes, but keep in mind if Ukraine doesn't take any of those important port cities Russia may be able to stay and fight while supplying themselves by sea. There are also other reasons probably but to me supplies and infrastructure would be the main reason for targeting the port cities specifically.

The amount of aircraft losses on Russia is still relatively low, especially on the number of the new helicopter losses.

[@schwarzflammenkaiser2347]

Depends, since most missile attacks by aircraft are done from russian territory it wouldn´t surprise me if F-16 suppliers would impose a dumb rule like only shooting down russian aircraft while they fly in ukrainian airspace.

[@leohelen1858]

Ontop of it all russia may have finally figure out that attacking areas where the ukranians have a ton of anti aircraft equipment ISNT a valid Tactical Strategy

[@petriew2018]

actually it's low because Russia can't secure anything like air superiority and knows it.... they're not losing planes because they're not using their planes for much beyond lobbing long range cruise missiles. Close air support is almost non-existent for either side in this conflict, which is an indication that air defense is actually just too damn strong

[@cz1589]

@@schwarzflammenkaiser2347 thats no big deal, for they will be very occupied in clearing Ukrainian skies from drones and cruise missiles. And times change, they might release such limitations in a later stage. The F-16 can do a huge job anyway. Besides that, Ukraine doesnt need them to take out Russian planes on their own turf, as we have seen in last weeks. Their options are increasing, and the drone production will soar in autumn.

I'd appreciate if k&g did a video about the Stalin line and other bunkers that are still being used in Ukraine and how that component adds to the dynamic of the invasion. there is a historian who traveled to Ukraine recently name Tino von struckmann @ lost battlefields who has been documenting history out there of some fortifications. in one of his live videos he goes into detail about some things on the ground not talked about or seen in reports etc... would say thank you for this channel adds an excellent layer to the depth of what's happening out there. also, would love to see some forensic evidence proving progi died in a plane explosion. it's obvious that is what happened but could also be used for a coverup. no question though he's out of the picture as well as the others associated with him.

I'd love a video from you guys about each countries capacity to carry on this war for an extended period of time. How many tanks does russia have in a warehouse somewhere? How long can Ukraine continue with/without western support, etc

[@louislux]

Watch covert cabal for tank number analyses. Russia has been pulling a lot of artillery and tanks out of storage but they still have a few thousands.

[@davidblair9877]

Sadly, Russia has lots of tanks in warehouses. The Soviets basically dedicated the entire state to a permanent war footing. It’s remarkable how many T-55s and T-72s one can build when they’re at the top of the industrial priority list.

[@curtiswaters7415]

Ukraine would fold within a few months. They have the skill and the courage, but they lack the industry and reserves of munitions to fight this war without support.

[@karthickharish569]

120k dead is an immense number, US lost less than that across all of the Vietnam war which lasted for a minimum of 7 years. Also Russia has a much smaller popn so in terms of per capita this is immensely expensive. Mood in Russia must be positively rebellious

[@alexeyamosov664]

Russia is not US, free media and Putin’s opponents were deliberately crushed ever since his first days, by soft measures like bribes and schemes, or by straight-up seizing, imprisoning and assassinating, and all of that while having oil bought by the west for increased prices, which kept everyone content back when it was not too late to change something. Well, it got too late. It’s really naive to think that beheaded, bleeding and blinded civil society can do much to a dictator mid-war.

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

From my understanding, the Russian recruits are usually from far flung regions of the country, so their loss isn't as keenly felt in major cities like Moscow or St Petersburg. It's cynical, but for a lot of people, what doesn't directly affect you doesn't upset you.

[@karthickharish569]

@@tobiasgriffin no ofc but that's not the point. The point is just how casualties are understood and perceived by people. But I think the bigger pt is that war reporting is probably very diff and that's why we are seeing differing perceptions by people

Good video! Still good to make a clear difference between plegdged and dellivered complete independent SAM batteries and SAM components. Germany did not send 2 new IRIS-T batteries, neither the Netherlands did send a third Patriot in the past. Often, its about spare parts, most prominently some extra launchers. The term 'system' also seems a bit misty in such perspective, for it might be interpreted as a complte battery as well.

Grain to international markets lol 90% ended in the EU.

[@KingsandGenerals]

That is not true, the number was something like 70%. Do you understand how trade works? Spain needs X amount of grain every year, if it gets it from Ukraine, the other exporters will sell theirs elsewhere keeping the prices on the same/similar level. No grain from Ukraine and the prices increase everywhere.

[@ChristiaanHW]

and to add to the reply of K&G. as with a lot of trade things get shipped around before ending up at their destination. there's a good probability that a lot of the grain exiting Ukraine by road/rail ends up in another port in Europe to then get exported to some other country.
