Ooops. Wrong post.
Some blood-thirsty, Putin-hating,propaganda posting, Freepers have no problem with the lies about Russian casualties and they will spend their days posting their delusions for all to see.
I studied Soviet military doctrine for years.
Their doctrine against NATO was simple.
“Get to the Atlantic coast of Europe.”
They would send out many recon units to find any weakness in the defense.
Then, they would pile on to the weakness.
They haven’t changed much.
Their military isn’t as big as when they were the Soviet Union.
Quick math - that’s greater than 10% casualty rate. Don’t see how any army can continue with losses like that for long.
Twitter is not a Russian source, I see nothing like that in KP. Not to mention that the figures make no sense.
Hmmmm. Makes sense. Same basic reason why there are so few disabled submariners at the end of a war...
“Putin-hating,”
Why Thank You!
US conservatively estimated 7,000 killed. They used the word “conservatively”. That was a few days ago.
9,861 seems very plausible. Probably higher.
I saw a report somewhere that the border with Finland had also been drawn down.
So Komsomolskaya Pravda is a pro-Kremlin tabloid
“Komsomolskaya Pravda, the pro-Kremlin tabloid, says that according to Russian ministry of defense numbers, 9,861 Russian soldiers died in Ukraine and 16,153 were injured. The last official Russian KIA figure, on March 2, was 498. Fascinating that someone posted the leaked number.”

“Twitter is not a Russian source...”
Oh, FFS! The article said Komsomolskaya Pravda, alleging a Russian MoD source. It is alleging a Russian source. Hence, my comment to you (since you swear by any Russian source and dismiss out-of-hand any non-Russian source). I was tweaking your nose, you moron!
Komsomolskaya Pravda is so pro-Kremlin, here are some recent article titles:
“Old people were abandoned near Kiev by their children, and saved by Russian special forces”
“Special correspondent of kp.ru Dmitry Steshin, on the air of Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, told how humanitarian corridors work, where people go and how the Ukrainian military bombs them”
Comparisons with Stalingrad or Berlin are absurd.
The Russians DIDN'T give up easily.
21st-Century conscripts want only to go home to their mamotschki.

FYI, twitter is now banned in Russia.
Norseviking can no longer access twitter links.
He admitted this.
Yeah, I think he works for TASS.
But the mission is/was successful.
Make me wander if this was the same military strategy that the Soviets would have deployed take over Europe. Throw thousands of tanks and ground troops towards Europe and watch those countries fold. The US developed tactics and weapons to defeat this. Based upon that it would have been a slaughter of Soviet equipment and personnel.
From what I have heard, the Soviets gave those soldiers the ultimatum, die killing Germans or die as deserters shot by KGB troops.
Little Pukin says they are “on plan”.
“The Pentagon on Monday accused Russian forces of committing war crimes in Ukraine and said it would help gather evidence of them.”
I think it is possible Little Pukin is indicted for war crimes. He won’t be able to travel to other countries for fear of being arrested and sent to the Hague. Maybe could travel to China and North Korea.
