My wife is upset about the hospital attack, as she used to go there for the kids and look after them

I thought it was 'just' news of the war in that one?

Probably pick up again if/when Kyiv is under siege or some other significant event - mostly just a slow grind at the moment and predictable political BS.

I’ve seen that one quite often over the Black Sea over the past couple of weeks.

I'm not sure on that - Putin seems very reluctant to commit from their main armed forces or mainstay reserve stock and they are getting through, in terms of replacing losses, what was pulled out of mothballed stock and put back into service - without touching their regular army it will take time to conscript/draft new soldiers and put more older stock into service.

(That isn't to say regular army isn't used in Ukraine at all - but the force is significantly bulked out from new draft soldiers and older equipment than even their reserve stock).

Putin seems quite paranoid about depleting the main army - maybe he really does think the West might attack Russia.

They don't need to, are you forgetting they ammassed 150,000 on the border befor the invasion?

They still have 140,000 troops left, it's a significant advantage and they will chip away

I read the number of Fatalities to injuries is usually 1:4, so potentially up to 50k Russian troops killed or injured/out of action.

140K is not many to try and invade and hold a country the size of Ukraine - who currently have a far higher level of mobilisation.

Slightly out of date now but last US assessment I saw put it at up to 6K killed, 18K wounded - probably gone up a bit since.

where is yours ?

I was shocked when I found out Ukraine is about the same size as France

 

[HungryHippos]

It's quite deceptive I think, the whole of that area is fairly large territory wise, we're used to a much more densely populated central Europe.

No super car = no mod ship

Ukraine is almost exactly as densely populated as the RoI or Scotland, and 8x as densely populated as Russia. Goes both ways, I guess.

Russian Army doctrine has always been about pummeling the enemy into submission with heavy firepower so the amount of personnel is irrelevnat in this case, especially if they're all poorly trained conscripts who run at the first sign of trouble and the amount required to occupy the country would have to be 10x that.

Presumably Belarus well onboard with this action.

I'm sure their leader flew to Moscow the other day. I bet that's what they were discussing.
