So I found this article from @planefag's google doc, google translated it, and it's pretty good listing what casualties the Russian's claim they have:
Redditors killed a squad?
It's so quick. At a click of a button from some internet user to post a picture of an Ukranian position, someone likely dies.Not again. It’s like people on Reddit are either idiotic enough to paint a bullseye target on their back, or something else. Zelensky should seriously address the issue of the Redditors of the Ukrainians are to minimize their casualty rates because of it.
A Russian Su-25 was heavily damaged. Might not be flyable again... Some dispute whether it was damaged while on the ground or crash landed.
Bruh, you even see Ukrainian trident.Severely damaged Ukrainian
From the tweet:
Bruh, you even see Ukrainian trident.
The issue is less that they’re not keeping actual numbers, but that you couldn’t trust whatever numbers they put out.Um, WWII was a massive, existential war that almost led to Russia's downfall, with massive loss of life and with the Nazis taking a massive amount of territory.
This is a bit more clean-cut, and bureaucracy has improved considerably.
You spoke of smaller armies making larger gains. Since invasion forces in Iraq numbered million (6 times the size of current Russian force) and half a million (3 times the size) respectively, this obviously does not apply.The invasion of Iraq, for one? I mean, you say it's significantly larger, and there is a size discrepancy but the area actually occupied by Russia is far less.
New Russian Prototype weapon spotted in Ukraine. The mind is a-boggled at what the role could be.
