Attack On Europe: Documenting Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine - Oryx (oryxspioenkop.com)

BDA from `crowd sourcing` , all kills are cited with photo`s. If Russia started with 750 tanks on day 1, they have lost between 1/4 and 1/3rd by day 18 which maps out to similar combat loses for all armoured force. Another 18 days and the bulk of Russian ground forces will be walking

There's no exact numbers but it's estimated Russia committed between 1000-1500 tanks to the invasion (estimates essentially based on the % of their army they committed and presuming they committed a similar % of their armour).

It should also be noted with those numbers they may be a little high, as in addition to Russian losses they include Ukrainian vehicles/tanks captured in the initial Donbas/Luhansk rebellion and pressed into "separatist" usage, then subsequently destroyed during this invasion by the Ukrainian forces.

so we should assume every Russian parachute is the same? ejected from what? from what altitude?

there's videos of parachutes opening, I personally didn't see any of the videos of parachutes not opening.

goggle suggests 2 people died a year or so ago during Russian training for parachutes not opening though.

it's probably a minority but anyway the source of the guy making the claims is a racing driver with 64k followers. he then follows up with a bunch more crap his whole twitter is probably anti Russian propaganda

if it's on twitter it must be a true? even if it's not a well respected journalist making the claims it seems.

I never said anything of the sort, I just said there are videos of ejected pilots parachutes not opening, which is possibly where the story may have came from as unlike airborne(who do pack there own parachutes) pilots dont pack them as they are installed into to ejection system(which is where the poor maintenance may come in)

1 tank company per BTG would give the 1100 or so tanks and matches with the 115 BTG`s. loses at 12 a day would mean the russians run out of tanks at day 90.

video today of a woman getting carted off for holding a sign that literally said, ‘two words’ in Russian. Then camera turns to another stander by who was telling the camera people she agreed with the governments policy. Well she was until the police came back and dragged her off too!
 
I was wondering how long it would take for quotes from another Putin apologist to surface. And he's still on the air on GB News :rolleyes: The man has no shame.

This was 1 month after Russia invaded Crimea

and this was back in 2019 when the EU was voting to strengthen the anti propaganda unit.

There's videos of the police doing random checks on peoples phones too

I'm not sure what the context was though or if they were near any protests

BTW you have to remember Russian protests aren't generally organised on social media etc because no one wants to disappear to Siberia, so attendance is probably just people who go looking and find them
 
You can admire an enemy. It doesn't mean you support them.

I think this might end with Putin making his intelligence services the fall guys. Like Blair attemped to do.

LOL nice one, i always thought he was full of nonsense
 
Would the Yanks sell/send Ukraine predator drones?

edit: seems it was retired in 2018 and replaced with the Reaper. Maybe they still have some in storage they could send. I would imagine the training isn't something you do in a couple of hours.

They don't seem willing to send anything that's considered an offensive weapon.

Public school officers died in higher proportions than enlisted privates. They were expected to lead by example.
