Ukraine had superior number of troops since the beginning and twice the number of armor, the only disadvantage was in aircraft.
Their number of troops is still vastly superior and expanding even though they lost most of their armor and almost all the arcraft.
Source for your belief that Ukraine started this war with "twice the number of armor" that Russia has?
Open sourcesare widely available. What are your sources to the opposite?
I can't find anywhere on the internet to support your claim that Ukraine has more tanks than Russia. That's why I asked for a source.
Wiki sources are all public. They have Russian active tanks ~3,000 active and ~10,000 in reserve.
The Ukrainian could claim ~1,500 active, with even less in storage/need of refurbishment.
Ukraine obviously committed all of its operational tank, Russia obviously didn’t.
Sir, you're moving the goalposts.
Source for your belief that Ukraine started this war with "twice the number of armor" that Russia has?
You don't have a source, do you? You're just making stuff up and hoping others are more ignorant than you, aren't you?
I asked you for the source of your belief that Ukraine started this war with “twice the number of armor” that Russia has, and you sent me a link showing that Russia has almost four times as many tanks as Ukraine.
Did you read this thing backwards or something?
I already told that we are speaking about deployed units. What is the point of talking about armor which is not involved in hostilities?
So the Russians are too stupid to apply their numerical superiority?
Plausible, but no less embarrassing for them.
Have you convinced yourself they’re losing because they’re not _really_ trying?
It’s worked for the Palestinians for decades.
It is called SMO because it is indeed a limited operation. Most of the infantry is not even Russian but anti-government militia seeking independence from Ukraine.
I have no idea what losing are you talking about. Inflicting 30 to 1 losses on the enemy is not like losing looks like.
