Your figures are as suspect as you are.
And no, driving a tank is not like driving a car.
I also suspect most Ukrainians would not shell their own cities because they are dying to get the Russians back seeing how it turned out last time.
Your Rusdian propaganda is as transparent as you.
Russian propaganda, Russian this, Russian that.... I guess it has to be tiresome by now unless you are a nevertrumper.
I just checked out my statistics and it was a bit off.
Ukraine had 18800 military personnel in Crimea. 11900 of them Navy, 2900 Air Force. Roughly 15000 defected. Near entire Ukrainian Navy defected.
Does it sound as insignificant defection? If so maybe you are right.
They had to appoint a woman in her 20s the Chief of Navy because of it, imagine it.
If you have different numbers don’t scream propaganda, provide correct numbers.
