Hello Freepers
Been awhile forgot my password finally contacted Jim directly and got a reply quickly. For back ground I retired from the Air Force last July with almost 40 years. In that time I have been many places some great some not so good but it was an honor and I would do it again. Speedy is there any way to post the loses other than just tanks. The lose of other vehicles and weapons systems such as planes radar units artillery in my mind are just a significant or more significant than tanks and indicate different kinds of degrading of combat effectiveness. Now a general comment on this ongoing thread. First Russia is the aggressor so what ever they wrought they deserve. Is Ukraine some kind of democratic bastion of good, no but ceding territory to Russia I don’t agree with. Do I think Ukraine comes out whole and on top after this is all over? No I do not it is numbers but I also believe Russia will not either and have been bloodied far more than they anticipated and shown that as a military they may barely be #1 in a 2 way race and when it comes to ranking in the world after what I consider to be a disastrous showing I wouldn’t but them in the top 10 in the region. Was this all a waste? Absolutely and despite the Biden weak position before the war the blame falls squarely on Putin
Good comments. Thanks for the air force service.
If you haven’t been on FR in a while, what you will find is that some RuZZian nationals are here pushing a pro-kremlin line. You will recognize them eventually.
Others are Americans who support RuZZia because of some concept of Ukraine corruption, ‘deep state’, Trump, LGBTQ, etc.
I use tanks for daily summary because it is convenient. Can’t use KIA/MIA because we don’t get those on a daily basis, or even accurate numbers.
