That is only one injury type, most common casualties are just working, environmental, and safety ones.

Top combat ones are hearing and indirect blast injuries

Asia Times used to be respected when a Thai owned it.

Now, it has a pro China outlook. It refers to Japan and Okinawa. This is straight up Xi propaganda. Okinawa is a Prefecture of Japan.

Chinese claim the Okinawan archipelago, which consists of the Senkaku islands.

I’d need confirmation from reputable news to confirm this story.

Yes. I posted the MedCram link because you seemed to focus upon the critical 3-5 day period following a thermobaric injury.

Yes almost another 900,000 in reserves. They could also go to a full war footing and increase military production and spending. Estimate of 8000 “preserved” tanks are still in storage that could be remodeled and put back on service..mostly T-72s. Also China is indicating they may start selling munitions to Russia.

Still then there are a whole range of WMD from chemical, biological and of course nuclear.

So yea there is still room for escalation.

Many Asian newspapers play the game of "lets-you-and-him fight" between the US and everyone else. They do not care who wins, as long as the US loses.

Even if Bakhmut falls, which is likely, Ukraine has had a year to prepare for it. Any Russian advance past Bakhmut will be just as hard as taking the city.

Russia is getting a self inflected lesson on defense in depth. Ukraine is extremely willing to make sure Russia learns it.

Ok, must have misunderstood that part or I forgot.. but 3-5 days is plenty of time to get them out of theater even then

Ukraine isn’t having issues as long as they can get them off the battlefield and it wasn’t a frag of the brain or heart

Oh yeah, their factories are renovated these takes at a rate of 40 per month, that’s pretty damn good but that’s not going to be enough

I am starting to suspect the main Russian objective is to get us to expend our weapon reserves by giving them to Ukraine to waste, but that’s just me.

10-20 thousand Ukrainians encircled?

Those numbers sound very high
