Shoulder-launched munitions and drones are the new player in war. Armored columns and vehicles are sitting ducks.
The law of cheetahs and antelopes.
Serious question, not sarcasm: When was the last time the Russians won a war by themselves - without any allies? Napolean maybe?
“What’s your explanation for the terrible performance of the Russian military?”
What’s your explanation for swallowing whole propaganda from the Psyops Heroes of Afghanistan?
Oryx is using open source intelligence to track both Russian and Ukrainian vehicle losses. To date they have tracked 3,623 Russian and 1,021 Ukrainian vehicle losses in total, a ratio of 3.6 to 1 in Ukraine's favor. a ratio of 3.3 to 3.6:1 has been consistent since this war started.
Numbers of causalities for both sides are hard to figure out. Wikipedia's entry, Casualties of the Russo-Ukrainian War, has 224 links so far. Ukrainian casualties estimates range from 4,000 to 7,000 KIA, 10,000 WIA, and 13,000 to 30,000 civilians killed. Russian army losses vary from 10,000 to 25,000 KIA, unknown WIA.
My view is it will take Ukraine a year or two to drive Russia out, but they will do it. The Russian military simply has too many extreme weaknesses to overcome.
Serious request, please start following/watching this pretty neutral war blogger based in Singapore. He’s brilliant, and his map study, using pre-war Google Earth sat imagery collated with current ground video, is better than any other OSINT I have found.
I’m not trying to play you. DPA calls balls and strikes, not just the typical one side or other propaganda that we are getting.
Please watch for a few days, I’d highly recommend it. Go back a few days to catch up, if you can. Daily videos are about 20 minutes on average.
We’re watching propaganda that is just as slanted as that shown in Russia.

Geez, man. I ask a simple question and you use a tactic that would get you tossed off a high school debate team.
I really thought you were better than that.

Joe must be advising them.

Now this would have been a useful response. Why don’t you try dealing with me like an adult?

I’ll save this for future hilarity.
I'm getting tired of the barrage of Liz Truss agitprop that flows by on the board 24/7.
Why? Because you speak like a hatchling who has just opened his eyes, and only sees the MSM narrative worms pushed into his beak.
That’s why.
Very disappointing.
I agree with you 100% that most information sources on this war are extremely poor.
Finding good information is like looking for the least smelly cow pie in a pasture.
No matter what, it is still walking around and stepping in ----.
“Just what is wrong with the Russian military?”
The Russians are running it.
Of course, I've never been a fan of team sports, anyway.
Which stories ?
“It’s been over a month “
Nearly 3.
“So what would happen if they launched a nuke or two and it fizzled?”
Fizzled on the way, or fizzled when it was supposed to explode?
Also, what is the impact if only 33% of their hundreds of missiles work properly and the others just harmlessly fall in the ocean?

The point of this final map is not to show something stupid like, "Ukraine does not exist!" but rather, that in Europe, borders have appeared, shifted, been erased, and reappeared several times a century for at least a thousand years.
But in 2022, the 1991 border of The Ukraine is suddenly worth going to Nuclear WW3?
Seriously?

Once the rus nazis take their young man back where they came from, to Asia, the slaughter will end immediately.
