I mean, if you trust the Russian numbers you are a fool in the first place. And if you trust the Ukrainian numbers, your an even bigger one. We won't have a total tally till the end of this clusterfuck, and that won't be for a few more years. I can't see Ukraine pushing Russia out any time soon and I can't see Russia conquering Ukraine, at least fully. They'll be spending the next decade or two putting down revolts.That's the point.
Russia is inflating numbers of things to try and save face

Kherson is under threat of counter attack already
Donbass is slowerthe Kherson offensive is slower than my grandmother, and she's dead.

The Russian Military isn't exactly filled with the brightest leaders. Very few have actually seen war. Those that have have been assassinated by the Ukrainians when the opportunity arises, as a few Russian Generals have been killed already. Eight suspectedly, and four confirmed, though one was a retired General that was for some reason flying an aircraft? Besides that this war is seemingly a testing ground by Russia on tactics. I don't actually think they care about winning, as they could have won the war within a month with modern equipment. Make no mistake, this war is a testing ground for how Russia can do against an even(ish) opponent, and I feel that Russia will see a sharp militarization in the coming months, not seen since the wehrmacht....So then why are the Russians smashing their heads into a wall, rather than pushing on non-militarized fronts?
Good luck with that under the sanctions they have.The Russian Military isn't exactly filled with the brightest leaders. Very few have actually seen war.

That's a lot of bridges.Because the goal is the destruction of the Ukrainian army itself. Why havent the Russians dropped the Dniepr river bridges that are helping to supply Donbass? The Russians want the Ukrainians to pour men and equipment into a killing zone to be turned into street pizza by artillery.

Major blow for Putin as manufacturer stops making tanks – reports
VLADIMIR PUTIN has suffered a blow in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, with a major tank manufacturer halting production, according to reports from Kyiv.www.express.co.uk
They sure aren't getting the thermals they were putting on the new tanks.News in the UK media, reported by Kiev, about Russia... not properly the most reliable source.
That's... A take. I actually barked out loud with laughter to read that. So, Russia is fighting with one hand tied behind their back, sending tens of thousands to die, losing unconted billions of dollars in military equipment, severing themselves from the most lucrative global financial markets, expending huge stores of ammunition, throwing away trained and experienced officers from the bottom to the top, and making themselves an international pariah and laughing stock... And they're doing it just to see what it would be like?The Russian Military isn't exactly filled with the brightest leaders. Very few have actually seen war.

They can replace these with older generations made locally. Not so good for sure, but let's then still make toys.They sure aren't getting the thermals they were putting on the new tanks.
French eyes for a Russian tiger
Russian tanks are using French technology in Ukraine. But will Russia's new "star" tank, the T-14, also rely on EU-made kit?euobserver.com
Well, do they still make the old generations?They can replace these with older generations made locally. Not so good for sure, but let's then still make toys.
"The news, however, appears so far only to have been relayed by Ukrainian forces so cannot be wholly substantiated." From the article you posted. Sooooo....we'll see how much truth there it to this later on.Good luck with that under the sanctions they have.

One way or another, it's kinda just a matter of time. Look at microchip production. Russian companies are heavily reliant on imports, and estimate costs of something like fifteen billion US to start the modernisation process which will not be quick. It's also highly likely to run into cost and time overruns given the Russian kleptocracy."The news, however, appears so far only to have been relayed by Ukrainian forces so cannot be wholly substantiated."

For that, you need to ask uncle Vladimir, not me.Well, do they still make the old generations?
