“Fortunately, yes. The Russians wanted to eliminate neo Nazi forces in the Ukraine and after some movement, settled down to let the neo Nazi’s come to them in Bakhmut.” It is the Russians coming to Bakhmut where the UKR forces are. Russia has been attacking that town for over 7 months and have suffered extraordinary loses. It generally accepted that attacking forces lose more then the defensive forces. Would you agree with that? |
Doesn't apply here. The Russians have a 6x or 8x advantage in terms of ammo. They fire many more times the amount of ammo on a daily basis, in addition to having more arms of other classifications (fighter jets). More shooting - more targets hit.
Without fighter jets, the Ukraine won't be able to defend any number of tanks sent them.
The Ukrainians lost the core of their trained soldiers and are unfortunately using large numbers of men with no combat experience. The Russians have a higher ratio of trained soldiers.
3rd parties have tried to pin down how many soldiers the Russians 'really' lost. Some tried tracking funeral announcements etc. They get far lower numbers compared with Ukrainians, and the Ukrainians had fewer soldiers to begin with. After first trying to bloody the Ukraine enough to drive them to the negotiationg table, the Russians are now determined to end the threat posed by NATO's Ukrainian puppets so they are indeed taking heavier losses than before. But they still have more soldiers and ammo at a time when Ukraine/NATO are running out.

Russian artillery attacks have decreased and are reported to be inaccurate. Thus Russia has to expend much more ammo to try and get near the same results as UKR does with their much more precise targeting . Russia has nothing like HIMARs. Russia , despite having more aircraft the UKR, has been unable to achieve air superiority. Russia’s naval forces have been forced to move back from near UKR because of loss of ships
