Russian KIA+WIA losses in conservative estimates were 40K but as more and more info came out its likely closer to 60,000+ casualties because of how many storm troopers were needed to overwhelm defenses. This means a Russian died for every 15 CENTIMETERS of Bakhmut. Do you understand that it's only the 56th largest town in Ukraine? It's a baby compared to other locations, and it crippled Wagner.

What surprises me about such videos. Literally every few seconds, they show us broken Russian technic, talk about monstrous losses, problems in the army, but at the same time, Russian troops are advancing and seizing territories on the map. At the same time, according to the author, everything was fine with the Ukrainian side, they repelled the attacks, but for some reason they had to leave the city, they are generally silent about the losses.

Russians don't need to take a million photos, they win not on the Internet, but on the battlefield))

[@toxarius4149]

I am Ukrainian. Here is what I can say. Yes, Ukraine loses soldiers every day and we currently have a shortage of soldiers, but Ukraine's losses are 2 times less than Russia's simply because there are more Russians and their military strategy is based on this one advantage. Only recently they stopped using armored vehicles during attacks because they are the highest priority target for drones. If it were not for Ukraine's strategy, Russia would have had much greater success than you think. In addition, on Google maps you can see how military equipment warehouses are emptying, this only means that Russia has lost almost the entire base composition that it had before February 24.

[@dziugas2586]

You can loose ground, but still be victorious. Lets say you lost 50 men to capture a squire kilometer of land. I lost 20 men defending the land. You lost 50 men because you needed to cross an open field to get to my trench, and you were successful only on your third attempt. I lost 20 because my men did not have to leave their trenches and when the battle was almost lost they managed to retreat. You got your pyrrhic victory, you gain something at a great loss. I got strategic victory, because you are suffering way more to attrition.

1:13:55 Pyrrhic victory? That remains to be seen, the war is far from over. The main force fighting for the russians in this battle was the Wagner group, which consisted of mercenaries and convicts. They where, as you stated in the video, expendable. Perhaps there was a tactical reason to sacrifice this force in this way, in order to gain an advantage in the long term? The russians have used the time this battle has lasted to recruit more soldiers. And they have worn down the ukrainians, and some of their equipment. The ukrainans are almost entirely dependent on the west for new equipment, weapons, amunition etc. The russians have their own production, and they have been increasing it. So it's easier for the russians to replace the losses in equipment than it is for the ukrainians. This goes for soldiers to. Obviously Russia has a larger population. It seems to me that some of the most motivated soldiers on the ukrainian side, both ukrainian and foreign in origin, have already volunteered to fight. It's an advantage for the russians in the long term that the most motivated ukrainian soldiers are killed and wounded, even if this means taking higher casualties themselves, if these casualties are mostly mercenaries and convicts. For the russian leadership it makes sense to exchange 7 convicts/mercenaries for 1 higly motivated and trained ukrainian soldier (even though i doubt the ratio was this severe in the ukrainian favour). The dead costs nothing.This is of course a highly cynical view, but this is war. The russian leadership are of course aware that the ukrainian morale is an important factor here, especially in the long term. And there seems to be cracks in morale appearing as we speak. Let's see what the mood is in Ukraine in 6 months or 1 year.

[@AsdrubalBarka]

The guy would have changed the outcome of the battle as an ukrainian victory if he could get away with it.

[@FINSuojeluskunta]

The actual choices Ukraine has at its disposal to win are pretty much nil, its best strategy is a fighting retreat making Russia pay for every meter. The strategy of Bakhmut was bad but the alternative is only relatively better. Ukraine has bad demographics but remember that, while both sides have easily lost 100k+ men respectively, Russia is destroying its economy (Ukraine's is already destroyed) for basically nothing important as Crimea is already taken. It's not a Pyrrhic victory though, no.

This is nonsense 1) Brigades using NATO equipment were practically not involved, what can we say if most of the assistance began to arrive in the summer 2) The RF Armed Forces have not learned anything, they have always fought with the Soviet doctrine “Women are still giving birth”, not counting their losses 3) The war is not lost, the situation is better than in 2022. Let me remind you that Russian armed forces have approached Kyiv, and now Russia has to ask for help from the Koreans to protect its territory.

@СергійБакалов-г8э напомни лучше ему как вы собираетесь призывать женщин и 18 летних. Как за вас воюют граждане других стран. Как все радостно садятся в автобусы когда к ним подходят ТЦК. Как люди продолжают сваливать через границу с туристическим рюкзачком. В конце людина с бандеркой на аватарке ты забыл денег попросить. Это я считаю упущение с твоей стороны

Never thought I would see a Verdun in my lifetime.

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

Nowhere near the scale of destruction of Verdun but definitely one of the most brutal modern day battle

[@maximilianodelrio]

Combined total deaths in this battle are probably like half or less than what each side lost at Verdun

I lost my good buddy there in Bakhmut. He sent me a lot of videos from there, he kept going on about how inconsistent the russian forces were, ranging from completely incompetetent to phenomenally well trained. RIP Julian Thorn, absolute legend and a hell of a sniper. You will be missed.

A reasonable assessment 😂 That is, Western sources, recognizing the superiority of Russian artillery over Ukrainian artillery by 1/9 and 100% superiority of Russian aviation, say that Russia lost 7 times more The Ukrainian Armed Forces are semi-encircled

[@eduardvad]

Author is Ukrainian and presents the Ukrainian point of view. “How to recognize that Ukrainian is lying? Once he opens his mouth he’s lying”

[@СергійБакалов-г8э]

Yes, after all, the aviation and artillery of the Wagner PMC worked, and I’ll remind you that the “Prigozhin Rebellion” began precisely because they were not given shells, which is why they suffered catastrophic losses, and this is not an invention of the “West,” but almost a direct one quote from the leader of PMC Wagner - Evgeniy Prigozhin And the good old tactic that the Russian army always fights with, “Women are still giving birth,” is still used

Russia has captured the city about 550 days ago, the frontline has changed so little, it is comical. Even right now when Russia is gaining ground, the ground it is gaining is ridiculously small. Open deepstate map and see it for yourself.

@@dziugas2586 Well, what I can see from the frontline, the Russians are steadily moving it to the borders of the 4 regions. Yes, it is slow as it is not easy. But the grinder keeps grinding, ukros are feeling it quite a bit more..even more so when they stole and waisted a significant chunk of defense money meant for beefing up the frontline.

@@mmdirtyworkz But at what cost? Russian central bank says that it is doomed after 2025. Ruble hit the new lows even with the aggressively restricted trade of it. Huge labor shortages, .interest rate is set to reach 25%. One thing that Ukraine has on its side is time and European money to run its military and economy.

[@Shankinator-zx4tp]

@juliantheapostate8295 My understanding of the events is that the president of Ukraine made an unpopular (understatement) decision to side with Russia instead of the EU because of Russian pressure. The president of Ukraine was deposed after mass protests, and Russia exploited the political turmoil to take Crimea. Unsurprisingly, this was unpopular with Ukrainians, leading them to pursue further relations with the EU/US instead of Russia.

[@atomf9143]

Bakhmut was a battle future history students will have to learn about, if for no other reason than its sheer intensity and body count. It was a pivotal moment in the war that didn’t have much tactical or strategic significance, somehow. Glad you were able to make a video on this, depressing as it is.
