“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?

You, like many others, don't understand the nature of this particular war. In the recent Kyiv Independent article, "Battle of Bakhmut: Ukrainian soldiers worry Russians begin to ‘taste victory’," a Ukrainian source estimates that 90 percent of total Ukrainian casualties are from artillery and air strikes. The Russian army does not engage the UFA in traditional firefights and small arms. The Russians keep a safe distance and pound Ukrainian positions with, as the article states, "infinite" rounds of artillery.

Russia is sitting back inside fortified areas, letting the Nazi’s come to them.

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.
