Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By outofbattery: Something I read from Ukrainian accounts is that bridges in the south had their explosives removed and therefore they weren't blown. Army units were moved out of so 3 areas and only border guards and territorial defense outfits were left to face the invasion from Crimea in some locations. Of course this could very well all just be hot rumors but the generals Zelensky had arrested early had to have done something wrong. It will be disgusting if this turns out to be true. Kyiv didn't fall. Sumy didn't fall. Chernihiv didn't fall. Kharkiv didn't fall. Mykolaiv didn't fall. Mariupol is destroyed and still fighting. Kherson fell basically intact and the Russians were allowed to pour out of Crimea thru a couple severe choke points. If it looks fishy, and smells fishy... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gentlemanfarmer: Figures I’ve seen are about 4/1 in US favor. I don’t doubt the UA figure of 25k dead Russians at all. I only saw a fraction but based on cooked vehicles with fatty char inside and dead Russian dismounts, bloody gear etc, their number might be low. It wouldn’t surprise me if 30k were Kia. Maybe more if you include missing. Total casualties have got to be nearing 75-100k I've seen estimates between 25k-40k in terms of KIA. The problem is there's so many reporting metrics, and on top of it, it seems wagner+kadrovites+dpr+LPR are each a different number and Russia isn't tracking anyone bur Russian internal losses....not that they're doing much of a good job. |

Need some info - what exactly is the niche where APWKS ( laser guided Hydra 70 ) falls into? Is it supposed to be used against fieldworks /vehicles / troop concentrations /something else? I think Ukrainians will be using ground launched version.

It'll flip like a switch, and go from breakthrough to rout. |

The problem is there's so many reporting metrics, and on top of it, it seems wagner+kadrovites+dpr+LPR are each a different number and Russia isn't tracking anyone bur Russian internal losses....not that they're doing much of a good job. I would tend to believe the Ukr MOD figures are *relatively* accurate - as accurate as possible. And I think they incorporate the irregular forces - DPR/LPR militia, Wagner mercs, etc. They tend to be really accurate on things we can verify, and in my mind have a high credibility. Another point that validates them is this: At one point several weeks ago, internal Russian figures *acutal figures* were leaked and they were a couple thousand below the Ukr figures. If you figure their numbers were their regular forces, and the 10%/15% gap below their figures and the Ukrainian's would amount to the irregulars. The numbers from both sides seem to jive - at least when you get a peak at the Russian's internal numbers that they don't publicize. |

Is it supposed to be used against fieldworks /vehicles / troop concentrations /something else? I think Ukrainians will be using ground launched version. Probably mainly attacking buildings and concentrations of people, as well as destroying light vehicles (fuel trucks, MLRS, artillery - things that arent tanks) from 5km+ away. Main advantage is its 'high capacity' - a technical could have a 4-7 shot launcher in the space of a ATGM mount. |

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/russia-cant-make-more-tanks-because-of-this-key-sanction-biden-official-says-204705566.html
Yahoo Finance Russia 'can't make more' tanks because of this key sanction, Biden official says Export controls ban companies from sending crucial products like semiconductors to Russia with the goal of gradually starving its economy. But a top Biden administration official told Yahoo Finance on Monday that certain export controls may hurt Vladimir Putin’s army in the immediate future. “Because of the export controls we’ve already put in place, Russia’s top two manufacturers of tanks are no longer in business,” Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said Monday. “Russia today has far fewer tanks than they had going into this invasion, and they can't make more because of the action that we're taking with sanctions.” The White House says the controls have left Russia’s two major tank plants — the Uralvagonzavod Corporation and Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant — idle due to a lack of foreign components. And observers noticed fewer tanks than normal at the annual military parade on Moscow’s Red Square on Monday. |

Oh sure, theoretically they can draft every male 18-60 and send them to Ukraine. Realistically, I strongly doubt they have enough functioning weapons to even double the size of their military, never mind the logistical capability for that. |

I do wonder how much they can realistically muster. Sure they can probably dig up small arms and uniforms to arm many people, but how much armor to they have in reserve? Artillery? Is this why their air force is seemingly MIA? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ArmyInfantryVet: They have a huge pool of reserves if Putin declares war. They could send millions of combatants into Ukraine if they do that. We've seen the state in which their kleptocracy has left military equipment and military stores. They couldn't properly feed 150k soldiers in the initial invasion, so do they have the logistical capacity to feed millions of conscripts at the end of a logistical tail? Could they even ramp up storable, transportable food to that number, somehow? Every unit followed to the front battle by a bunch of scooby vans and Amazon delivery trucks filled with bottled water and the Russian equivalent of Spam? Even if they can give every swingin' d military age male a weapon, some ammo and a white or red armband (in lieu of a proper uniform), they won't be trained, they won't for the most part know what they're doing, they won't be fed properly or properly resupplied. Presuming they can transport them all to the front, presuming they'll mill forward in impressive-looking human wave attacks when ordered to with machine gun nests at their backs, presuming they don't just turn around and slaughter whomever is trying to force them to make those assaults? |

I think if Ukraine is able to put together a major offensive, they'll go all the way to the 1994 border before Moscow knows what's happening. It'll flip like a switch, and go from breakthrough to rout. Ukraine began its first broad counteroffensive (as opposed to smaller, more piecemeal ones it has conducted so far) around Kharkiv a few days ago and have pushed Russian forces back almost 30 miles in some areas, and pushed them back across the front. Some of the analyses of these counteroffensives believe the Ukrainians may be able to push the Russians all of the way back across the border in this region. Russia is pulling BTGs from other areas (further hampering their overall efforts) and massing them on the Russian side of the border to attempt a counterattack in the near future and try and put a halt to the Ukrainian counteroffensive. |
