“The Russian military has already lost more than 500 tanks and 1,500 units of other armoured vehicles, 120 helicopters, and 100 aircraft.”

LOL. Why not millions?

“Gimme, gimme, gimme.”

Shut the heck up.

We don’t need the A-10? Idiots!

This would help Ukraine lift the blockade on the cities of Chernihiv, Sumy, and Mariupol.

Somebody should tell the globalist stooges Denys Davydenko, Margaryta Khvostova, Olga Lymar and a player to be named later that the Azov defenders/hostage takers of Mariupol have already been rubbed out.

For offence, the Ukrainian Air Force could benefit from American A-10 attack aircraft. The US Air Force no longer needs these systems, as it is procuring more advanced F-35s. Ukrainian pilots could quickly learn how to fly A-10s.
***The A-10 is not being replaced by the F35. Those zoomers are way too expensive to expose to ground fire. This article appears to be operating off pretty old information, not just on this tidbit but in other areas as well.

The guys at Oryx seem to be pretty even-handed about documenting losses.

Their methods are questionable to say the least, especially in part of attributing wrecks to one side or another.

A few batteries of Harpoons would change everything quickly.

Russian military sustaining huge losses is evident.

They have been tracking equipment losses in other wars, so they haven’t got a propaganda agenda. And they try to focus on verifying only those claims covered with photographic evidence.

Better than whatever alternative source of information that you have failed to provide. That is accurately pointed out as the classic fallacy of arguing from silence.

That is why the Russian oaf says “LOL” like a pre-teen girl instead of saying something substantive. But we should really feel sorry for him. He is cheering for his aggressor country of 11 time zones while it gets humiliated by a one time zone country that displays old-fashioned bravery.

17,000 Russian dead...

...you hate to see it.

Don’t worry comrades, all is going as planned.

We didn’t want to take Kiev.

No it does not. You are arguing from silence, a classic fallacy. Take a critical thinking class.

What silence? The very first entry on onyx is the allegedly a destroyed Russian tank. And the list goes on.

You have been silent about any alternative source of information which would be superior. Arguing from silence. Take that critical thinking class.

What alternative sources I need to provide since they are all censored in your country?

Kyiv urgently needs more offensive weapons.

Flood Ukraine with killer drones.

No.

Ok on defensive weapons like anti-tank and anti-aircraft, especially if we’re giving them our older missiles that are approaching expiration dates and would have to be disposed of anyway. .

I don’t know any reliable sources detailing combat losses. My point is that your source is unreliable and misleading. The very first entry on the Russian losses depicts a Ukrainian wreck as evident from the above picture.
