[@TheRezro]

It should be noted that during this winter Russia received 3000 containers of North Korean ammunition and missiles. So we should be really careful when estimating actual Russian production capacity. It is entirely possible that when North Korean stacks deplete, then Russia would again suffer on munition shortages.

[@TheRezro]

It should be noted that until recently Russia was not deploying too much capable missile types. Recently they start using again Kalibr and Iskander missiles. Most likely activating anti-NATO deep reserves. Shaheds attack civilian targets for a reason. Drop in interception effectiveness could be result refocusing from attacking well protected Kviv on less protected targets, like Odessa and Kharkov.

All North Korea support of Rusia narrative based only on honest word of UK spy. NK isn't industrial country. They are just little in comparison with Russia. They are isolated, and do not want to trade with any other country. THere is not reason to belive they even can help Russia. And I will not even start about they don't want. The only reason western nazi are spreading this propaganda is because they already invested for decades in nazi hatered to NK. So they can use one black legend to build another. On other side Ukrainian home industry do not exist. I literal live in Ukrainian city which had 6 big factories in 1991, including the biggest in Europe in it's industry, and zero works now. 2 were struggling in first 2 decades of independence, like shipbuilding were changed to repair dock, and electro-machine fectory who built equipment for soviet power plants were changed to metal screw plant. And after 2014 everything made unprofitable by corrupt nazi militarist rising taxes for the war effort, and leftovers of industry just closed, with owners getting in the debt and running away to EU. All Ukrainian military goods are NATO goods. Not even now, they used to be for the last decade. They never were alone, all this conflict it was just a puppet with NATO hand in the rectum. The only problem, NATO can't invest in colonial project, when they will lose it without profit. Because it is all about money for them. Drugging ukrainians into meatgrinder was profitable, but winning isn't.

Ukraine is neither big enough geographically, and if they were, they don't have the manpower to continue this to utilize that territory for time strategy. This only worked for the USSR, because it was so de-centralized in terms of population and industry, and the population at that time was enormous. Unless there is some sort of peace agreement that ends the war, this will end one way. It will continue along as a grind, with one side or the other (most likely Russia) gaining small bits of territory. Then, Ukraine will buckle, and it will all happen at once, very rapidly. ALA South Vietnam collapse. Ala Afghanistan to the Taliban collapse. Ukraine is following a don't bend, or break strategy, and increasingly you're seeing the stress fractures as units mutiny, disobey orders and retreat.

That’s probably right. The Russians have had the same geographic problem since Catherine the Great: the flat plains that surround Russia are east to drive a Panzer division or a Mongol Horde across. But there are choke points (mountain passes and deserts) beyond Russia that could be useful in blocking an invading army’s advance. Those points are roughly the USSR’s borders. And so for Russia to feel secure, it needs to conquer Ukraine and the Caucuses plus Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, half of Poland, half of Romania . Those nations know this, which is why they joined NATO. Here’s the West’s problem: They believe Russia will invade Poland and Romania once they finish invading Ukraine. The whole point of the nine wars Russia has started since the end of the USSR has been conquering that territory. But if the Russians are in a stalemate against Ukraine, what could a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO be other than a complete slaughter of the Russian army? And that risks the Russians using the last resort weapons, the nukes. So. It is in the west’s strategic interests to keep the meat grinder in Ukraine going until the Russians run out of men. Then, they would have to abandon their dreams of occupying Warsaw.

[@malta3angwa]

Let's try simple logic. At the beggining of the conflict Russia had about 250 000 troops on the field (max ammount named). Later they mobilized 300 000. Now the numbers according to the Western media is 600-650k. Russian officials say these are mostly contracted volonteers. No reason to doubt that because there was no additional mobilization in Russia. So if we take 180 000 KIA - russian losses up to February 24 according to Zelensky - there must also be near the same ammount of soldiers severely wounded and left the front. That's 360k losses to Russia. If it is true, then we admit that every third man gone to war from the russian side either killed or wounded heavily. Аnd Russia still have enough volunteers to sign the cotract? And still have enough man to attack and gain ground despite the losses? You must also take into consideration all those soldiers who will desert from the ranks trying to escape almost certian death with this casuality rate. Russia must have lots of barrier detachments to prevent deserters from fleeing. And there must be plenty of evidence of this detachments "in action". Meanwhile Mediazone + BBC are calculating Russian losses using open sources and their current number is 60-80k KIA. That looks more like real number. So, if we believe in 31 000 ukranian KIA (named by Zelensky in February) that is not 5 times higher. Only 2-3 times. But, there is a lot of reasons not to believe Zelensky. Officialy Ukraine have 1200k armed pesonnel in total (National Guard, Army, volunteer batallions etc.) So they should not have a problem to man the frontlines with the same numbers Russia have - 600 000 soldiers. That should be enough to hold the line if they inflict higher cusualities to rus army than recieve themselves. But despite that Ukraine keeps losing ground. So, either Ukraine did not inflict higher casulities to Russia or they have less soldiers on the front and Russia heavily outnumber them. If Ukraine does not inflict higher casualities than russian losses cannot be higher. Thats simple. So lets look over the sitiation 2: Ukraine is probably outnumbered on the frontlines. How did this happen? Officialy total number of Ukraine armed forces is bigger than russian army on the front. They must have no problem to man the front. But they do. In april 24 former ukrainian presidents advisor Arestovich stated that about 100 000 troops have deserted the ranks of ukranian army. Not so long ago new chief commander Sirsky said he need 500 000 more men to mobilize and reinforce the army. The mobilization in Ukraine began at the first days of war and probably never stoped. But recently - after the failed counteroffensive - it has taken a crucial turn. A lot of videos where ukranian drafters forcefuly grab men on the streets, in the buses, on the market and so on. A lot of videos of ukranian men drown in river Tysa while trying to flee to Romania\Moldova and escape the draft. Europe discuss the possibility of returning ukranian male refugees home so they can be drafted. All these facts probably tell us that ukranians in mass don't want to fight anymore. Even for thier country. And ukranian military is in short of manpower. Why? Maybe because Ukranian losses is much higher than 31 000. Probably they are higher than russian casulities, if ukr army now don't have the men to hold russian advance.

[@user-is1eq9jm2t]

I agree with you. One thing that needs to be added to your great assessment in my opinion, is the serious lack of any sort of visual evidence of casualties, even for field commanders, long forget civilian analysts. Drone footage is, speaking relative to the overall amount of operations on both sides, extremely scarce, and usually comes from very well equipped units with a lag of many days due to security reasons. The visually confirmed casualties of both armies would not surpass even several thousands of personell, meanwhile even listening to any number of interviews with fighters or reading the emerging literature from veterans, shows that its not a very uncommon occurance, for example, to lose an infantry platoon in one day, both in attack and in defense. Which means that the true extent of the casualties will likely not be even estimateable until several years after the war via demographic studies on Ukrainian and Russian populations

"Russia must have lots of barrier detachments to prevent deserters from fleeing. And there must be plenty of evidence of this detachments "in action"." Which there isn't. But there's LOTS of it from Ukraine. Including the horrible event where 100 Ukraine soldiers were shot for disobeying orders after they routed. "So, if we believe in 31 000 ukranian KIA (named by Zelensky in February) that is not 5 times higher." As i just wrote elsewhere... When estimating total Ukraine troop casualties just from Russian cruise missile strikes, the minimum baseline ended up around 100 thousand KIAs. A similar number came up for losses from Russian airstrikes. Russia has literally conducted over 120 thousand airstrikes during the conflict so far. Then we have an estimate that Ukraine casualties from drones equals that of the above two categories TOGETHER. That's 400 thousand KIAs already. And Artillery is stated to be the single biggest cause of casualties by a large margin. Noone can tell exactly, but the low end of guesstimates is 300+ thousand KIAs. That's 700 thousand Ukraine KIAs, minimum. "Later they mobilized 300 000. Now the numbers according to the Western media is 600-650k. Russian officials say these are mostly contracted volonteers." Russia signed up 503 thousand volunteers during 2023. All of them are getting 8 months or more training, which is why with few exceptions, they've only started arriving at the frontlines late 2023 and early 2024 and will keep arriving at 25-50 thousand per month. "Officialy Ukraine have 1200k armed pesonnel in total" Faerytales. Ukraine's military peaked just over a million soldiers back in September 2022, since then, to my knowledge they have NEVER gotten even close to that again. Ukraine officials have for example repeatedly during 2023 bragged about how they "once more had over 500 thousand troops", and after the massive casualties of their "offensive" in 2023, they did not suddenly magically get TWICE the troop numbers. And if they had 1.2M, Russia would not be advancing as rapidly as they are right now. "The mobilization in Ukraine began at the first days of war and probably never stoped." A US think tank reported late summer 2023 that by end of July 2023, Ukraine had mobilised over 2 million troops, very roughly around 120 thousand per month. Those numbers have probably dropped to half since late 2023. Together with the 700 thousand troops Ukraine started 2022... "Even for thier country." Are they? USA has been calling the shots from the start. USA comitted the 2014 coup AND the 2004 coup that failed to get what they wanted. USA forced the war with Russia to start. USA, Joe Biden personally even, gave the orders that started the civil war. Anyone who sees even a glimpse outside of the western propaganda bubble will instantly realise that Ukraine has been used as expendable cannon fodder by USA and the west overall. Why ever would any Ukrainian want to go back to fight for THAT? "Maybe because Ukranian losses is much higher than 31 000. Probably they are higher than russian casulities, if ukr army now don't have the men to hold russian advance." My current tracking of Ukraine casualties, although getting less reliable for every week that goes, as the last reliable source of information came in Autumn of 2023, is 900 thousand to 1.7 million KIAs and roughly 2 to 3 million WIAs. Meanwhile, the Russian's are doing nothing to hide their casualties, and the semi-confirmed number is 32 thousand KIAs from Russian military, 2700 PMC, 7200 ex-convicts and somewhere around 8 to 25 thousand ex-DPR/LPR personnel. Rough guess around 60 thousand in total. So no, 31 thousand is just literally laughable. Already the FIRST leak about casualties from Ukraine back in summer of 2022, said 191 thousand Ukraine KIAs by the end of June 2022. And that actually tracks well with other known datapoints. We also have simple facts, Ukraine starts 2022 with 700 thousand troops. In December 2022, Zalushny in an interview states that Ukraine has 700 thousand troops AGAIN, but only 200 thousand of those are combat capable, ie the rest are untrained new recruits. Meaning that even if Ukraine did ZERO mobilisation in the 10 months between that, Ukraine's MINIMUM casualties were 500 thousand. And we know they mobilised over 100 thousand almost every month. Meaning that total casualties by that time were probably closer to 1.4M. With around 1/4 KIAs. Anyone who thinks Russia EVER lost more than Ukraine for even a single week, is very VERY delusional.

@@greenmanzz The deliveries from the EU never stopped either. That was supposed to be implied.

Ukraine KIAs, somewhere between 900 thousand and 1.7 million. Plus another 2-3 million WIAs. As Medvedev has made his standard of expressing it, Ukraine has two choices, unconditional surrender, or cease to exist. Russia is fighting an extremely effective attritional war, being very careful to minimize its own losses. And Ukraine has merrily shovelled their soldiers into every meatgrinder and killhouse Russia has created. And every new Russian soldier that arrives at the frontline consists of volunteers that have previous conscript training AND another 8+ months of training. And they come at a rate of 25-50 thousand per month. While more and more, Ukraine's military consists of civillians with nothing but 2-6 weeks of wannabe bootcamp training. And while Ukraine used to mobilise and pressgang around 100-150 thousand per month, they're no longer able to do so. And so, they're running out of troops. Just as they're already running out of munitions, vehicles, guns, everything. Ukraine NEVER had the slightest chance. But they were never meant to have to really fight a war. USAs plan was for Ukraine's war to cause a military disaster for Russia, which together with propaganda and the economic warfare of sanctions to cause complete chaos and societal collapse would allow USA to conduct a coup and destroy Russia. And as usual with the psychopaths in Washington, absolutely nothing of their plans actually worked as intended. But they don't care. Ukrainian in their eyes is just another name for Russian, so lots of Russian are dying, giving them great comfort.

[@nekomakhea9440]

It seems unlikely that Ukraine could push back unless they get enough western jets to capture air superiority, even just at a local level. Western artillery supplies aren't sufficient to make up the artillery gap, so the only way they'd be able to suppress RU artillery enough to de-mine and break through RU lines is UA having enough air superiority to suppress them with CAS strikes. Local air superiority is a large part of why RU is making gains currently, and lack of air superiority for either side is a large part of why the stalemate went on so long in 2023.

[@rainyvideos3684]

And do tell...how will that small amount of F-16s get through Russia's air defense network to even get local air superiority. That's why Ukraine was so careful with whatever they had to begin with. The F-16 is not a wunderwaffe and neither was the Me-262 at the end of WW2 that could turn the tide.
