"the Russians are needing for every inch" etc.???

What does that mean? Please don't drop articles, verbs, pronouns, or conjunctions from the text. They are generally included in text to help the reader follow the flow of your message. This reads like you are on the front lines of Donbass and just have time for a scribbled note before you grab your gun and return to the action. Disjointed, disconnected, and rushed half-thoughts are quite confusing to the ordinary bloke who wishes to glean from your insights.

"Oryx says Russian vehicle losses have gone back up to Summer levels, not much change in Ukraine losses."
Should we all know who/what Oryx is?? Perhaps the post is meant to be an "inside baseball" message for the select few who already know?? This is why parenthetical comments are sometimes added. (eg. Oryx is another poster on the FR forum; Oryx is a highly regarded intelligence journal)

the term is “bleeding” sorry fat thumbs on phone. No one is disputing that the Russians have been taking the same location for two months, and the Wagner group new recruits have been eliminated. I would call that “bleeding” and “inches” not miles. Who believes, or has information, that demonstrates that miles of ground (a breakout) has been achieved in the last few months?

You don’t believe in Oryx, yet give no other website that collects serial numbers from destroyed and captured equipment. Oryx is the ONLY site that’s giving that information that I am aware of. Yes, they post the link almost weekly here for the summary. Go through and visit the running totals yourself.

I would be happiest if: 1) The US wasn’t involved. 2) Putin would just leave Ukraine Territory 3) The US government would quit messing around with Ukraine political environment 4) That George Soros would just go away 5) The poor farmers were just left alone in Ukraine.

That doesn’t change that the conflict has degraded to resemble a war map from 1916.

Someone just posted update on Free Republic.
They usually post the monthly confirmed vehicle losses running totals. Russia lost 118 tanks in Feb, largest loss in a month since last October (212).
