How much of Putins forces do we think he has sent in so far? Has he held back most of his military and thus has plenty of punches to throw yet or has he already put in a hefty percentage of his forces and not had the success with them he thought?

Well he had nearly 200,000 troops and if ukraine have only lost 57, I suspect the Russian losses aren't quite in the 100,000 range ..

Presumably he was planning for that airport to be a bridgehead of some sort.

Now seems 100% confirmed, a huge strategic loss for Russia, not to mention the loss of one of their Elite Units that were holding it.

Again another major attrition loss for Russia.

Like I said before, the Russians appear to be over extended, spread too thin, some early wins but no prospect of getting much needed supplies nor reinforcements in.

Logistics are a major part of war, the inability to deliver is a major sign of underinvestment and lack of capability.

I hope his plan was to take an airport so he can fly on supplies. If so that's failed miserably and he's back to square one.

This airport does seem to have been recaptured, another credible source making the claim, pretty positive news, providing they can hold it - bit of egg on face for the elite Russian airborne forces who took it earlier today in that brazen helicopter assault:

Still getting reports that it hasn't though lol Big big loss though if they've lost the battle those airborne vdv units were some of Putins best

Second strike is going to come as well per UA MoD, I don't think the Russians will pull any punches this wave and will go all out with the gloves off

Or an over ambitious supreme commander.

But ukraine lost several ammo dumps in the first attack.

The government said they need ammo urgently.

So the same goes for both.

Also tiny compared to German forces in WW2.

Yeah didn't Germany have a million men on the Russian border, lost half of them. Starlin wasn't even that great, but it was just too much to do in a few months.

If the Russians get bogged down it could go on for years.
